Mars spacecraft delivered to Florida for launch
Posted: Wed, May 9, 2007, 8:38 AM ET (1238 GMT)
A NASA Mars lander scheduled for launch in August arrived at the Kennedy Space Center earlier this week to begin launch preparations. A C-17 spacecraft shipped the Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft from Colorado, where it was assembled, to Florida on Monday. Workers will begin preparing the spacecraft for an August launch on a Delta 2 spacecraft. Phoenix is scheduled to land in the northern arctic plains of Mars in spring 2008, where the stationary lander will dig into the surface to look for any ice deposits that may exist there.
