What is the schedule of upcoming activities for the lander?
The first phase of the mission process was called the Characterization Phase, where we made sure the spacecraft and instruments were in working order and checked out our landing site. We are now in the Science Phase of the mission, and have a sol by sol planning process. It is designed to be “discovery responsive.” Decisions are made daily about the upcoming sol’s activities, and the science we choose to do often depends on the data Phoenix has relayed to Earth only hours before.
