Phoenix Digs for Clues on Mars
The Phoenix Lander on Mars is designed to analyze Martian soil. It uses a scoop to collect samples and deposits them into ovens that heat the soil to over 1000 degrees Celsius. This process helps scientists identify the soil's composition, looking for clues about water and habitability.
