Morning Frost on Mars

Morning frost inside the "Snow White" trench dug by the Phoenix lander on the 113th Martian day of the mission (September 18, 2008).

This image is presented in approximately true color. The trench is 4 to 5 centimetres deep, about 23 centimetres wide.

Phoenix Landing Site
NASA's Phoenix Mars Mission landed at 68.2 degrees north latitude, 234.2 degrees east longitude. The far-northern location of the site is indicated on this global view from the Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona/MSSS)

This image was taken on Sol 35, or the 35th day of the mission, June 30, 2008. The Phoenix Mars Lander beamed back this image taken by the Surface Stereo Imager, showing the Canada wordmark displayed prominently on the side of the lidar instrument, a component of the Canadian-built Meteorology Station that will probe Mars's weather and climate. The lidar proudly bears the same Canada wordmark on its thermal blankets as the Space Shuttle's Canadarm, as well as Canadarm2, the Mobile Base System and Dextre, the Canadian robotics systems aboard the International Space Station.
