The Phoenix Lander Landed on Mars; I’m Watching It on my Wireless Digital Picture Frame
Nasa’s Phoenix Lander robot landed on Mars last night, and if you subscribed to Nasa’s feed on FrameChannel, you could be watching and even listening to one of the several live feeds going on as we speak!
The Phoenix Lander robot will be digging up soil samples in search of evidence of past (or present) life on the planet. To accomplish that, the lander’s equipped with 7.7 foot long robotic arm capable of digging up to three feet into the ground, which NASA expects will be enough to get at frozen water thought to be hiding beneath the Martian surface. The mission is also notable for being NASA’s first attempt at a so-called “soft landing” on Mars in three decades, eschewing the airbags employed as of late in favor of a heat shield/parachute combination, with some rocket engines firing at the last minute to gently set it down Lunar Lander-style.
The Phoenix Lander robotic probe landed on tundra above the Martian arctic circle, a terrain never before explored, NASA scientists said. The mission on Mars hopes to uncover mysteries about water on the frozen planet, and is already sending back awesome pictures to NASA. How do I know that? I watched it on my wireless digital picture frame. The pictures are already part of my frame’s slideshow.
If you’re planning to watch it on tv, you’ll only get a portion of the story and a few of the pictures. If you want the real deal, life, get a FrameChannel account and subscribe to the NASA feeds.
I feel as though I’m actually there. It’s fascinating.
Your wireless digital picture frame is so much more than JUST a picture frame when you have a FrameChannel account!
