The Phoenix mission to Mars, through fire to ice March 10, 2009

Last year the Phoenix Lander touched down on the arctic plains of Mars to search for ice. Dr Tom Pike was one of the scientists at mission operations in Tucson, Arizona, helping guide Phoenix in its quest. In this evening talk, he will discuss his work and what the Lander found, what it was like working on a NASA mission and what the Phoenix Lander can tell us about the possibility of life on the red planet.
