NASA on Monday declared an end to the Phoenix mission, some five months after the spacecraft became the first to land in Mars' arctic plains and taste water on another planet.
A dust storm and the onset of Martian winter have brought the Phoenix Mars Lander’s mission to an end, NASA announced Monday.
“We are actually ceasing operations, declaring an end to mission operations at this point,” project manager Barry Goldstein with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory told reporters in a teleconference.

In February, astronauts will visit the satellite to physically replace aging hardware.The
