In case you missed it, the Phoenix lander made it to Mars on Sunday. The landing was picture-perfect, and we have the pictures to prove it! The MRO’s HiRISE camera was aimed at Phoenix’s landing, and got some really cool pictures of the parachute deploying.
Yes, that’s right. They caught the parachute deployment from our satellite around Mars. SO COOL!!!!
