In August 2007, scientists behind the Phoenix mission successfully launched a lander on a nine-month voyage to Mars. The Phoenix was the first spacecraft to probe the Martian arctic, landing near 70 degrees north latitude and uncovered clues in the icy soil of the Martian arctic about the history of near-surface ice and its potential for habitability.
