This animation is a series of images, taken by NASA's Phoenix Mars
Lander's Surface Stereo Imager, combined into a panoramic view looking
north from the lander. The area depicted is beyond the immediate workspace
of the lander and shows a system of polygons and troughs that connect with
the ones Phoenix will be investigating in depth.
The images were taken on sol 14 (June 8, 2008) or the 14th Martian day
after landing.
The Phoenix Mission is led by the University of Arizona, Tucson, on behalf
of NASA. Project management of the mission is by NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Spacecraft development is by Lockheed Martin
Space Systems, Denver.
