Messages From Earth
Read the last Topic: Fly Your Name to MARS
Dear All,
“Thank you for participating in The Planetary Society’s Messages from Earth project!
Your name is now one step closer to Mars. The silica glass mini-DVD with a quarter million names on it — including yours — has been installed on the Phoenix spacecraft, and is ready to go to Mars!
The spacecraft has just successfully been flown to Cape Canaveral, and now will begin final testing and preparation for launch. Phoenix will arrive and land in the northern near-polar regions in late May or early June 2008 (exact date dependent upon launch date). We’ll keep youupdated on the mission as it progresses towards launch, and of course, update you on its launch and landing.
Sincerely,
Bruce Betts
Director of Project
The Planetary Society”Forwarded from my email
