The Mars Phoenix Lander was a robotic spacecraft designed to explore the surface of Mars. Launched in 2007, it landed in the northern polar region of the planet in May 2008. Its primary mission was to search for water and study the Martian soil and atmosphere, providing valuable data about the planet's potential for supporting life. Equipped with a suite of scientific instruments, the Phoenix Lander conducted experiments to analyze soil samples and measure temperature and humidity. It successfully confirmed the presence of water ice beneath the surface, contributing to our understanding of Mars' climate and geology. The mission concluded in November 2008 after communication was lost.
