NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander successfully landed down in the northern polar region of Mars on Sunday and has sent its first pictures of the planet. The Phoenix is said to be NASA’s sixth successful landing on Mars but was the first to be photographed.

The very first images from the Phoenix Mars Lander have proved that the solar panels needed for its energy supply unfolded as planned and that masts for its camera and weather station are in absolute position. The Phoenix is expected to work for about 90 days with the help of the energy generated by the solar panels.
