With great relief at NASA, the Phoenix Mars Lander arrived safely on the Martian arctic plains Sunday.

The lander sent back 48 amazing pictures of the it’s surroundings.

Preparations are now under way for the lander to use it’s trench-digging robotic arm, it’s primary task to check the surrounding soil for signs of life.

The lander’s mission will last for 90 days and as more photos come, I will be posting them here!
