NASA's Phoenix lander is to stockpile samples of soil in order to prepare for the Martian winter, when its solar panels will stop providing enough power.
The harsh Martian winter will inevitably destroy Phoenix, but scientists are trying to give it as long as possible.

It's a shame that Phoenix has to die, but it's already given us some great pictures, as well as actually doing what it was designed to do; provide evidence of water ice on Mars.

this is kinda dissapointing.. i mean we spend so much and then it dies so fast.. its like buying that special toy which turns breaks like a day after and the guy wont give you your money back and then you have a need for revenge all you life and drop out and get welfare and buy a gun and hunt the man down and destroy him...

OH, poor little pheonix. I went to a lecture for engineers where they told us how they built that rover. It's been a tough little guy!
