Navtej Kohli that NASA have to fast their studies about MARS soil and environment and have to reach a point which be studied after Phoenix Mission. Sometimes looks like magic and also very excitement that how be environment and soil or other planet far away from the earth . Navtej Kohli assure that some life molecules also exist in the Mars air or even ice or soil .
After Phoenix Lander Confirms Existence of ICE on Mars, NASA scientist very excited and hence extend NASA phoenix mission to September. Taking this success as a roadmap now NASA looks further for getting something more about Mars .
NASA continued its study over the Martian soil and depositing a sample of surface soil into a gap between partially opened doors to an analytical oven on the lander
After studying soil robotic arm of Phoenix delivered soil and named it "Rosy Red" through a narrow opening to a screen above the No. 5 oven on the lander's Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA). Few particle passed through the screen and but not enough to fill the oven and now the study begin. The team of Phoenix command TEGA for vibrating the screen hence more material reached to screen but still not enough to go further study.
"There appear to be clumps blocking the opening,” said by Doug Ming of NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston who is leading Phoenix team at moment .. "However, we have seen in the past that when this soil sits for a while, it disperses. We intend to fill an oven with this material, either by additional vibration of the same screen or by opening doors to one of the other TEGA cells."
Conductivity measurement completed on date 6 August 2008 , ran from the afternoon of Phoenix's 70th Martian day, or sol, to the morning of Sol 71. For this study a fork inserted into the soil to check how electricity flows from one prong to other prong. NASA officials also announced that they extending the width of exploratory trench informally named "Neverland," which extends between two rocks on the surface of the ground.
The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of The University of Arizona with project management at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and development partnership at Lockheed Martin, located in Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
