PASADENA, Calif., July 2 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency says the next sample of Martian soil to be analyzed by the Phoenix Mars Lander might be its last.
A team of National Aeronautics and Space Administration engineers and scientists who assessed the spacecraft's Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, or TEGA, after a short circuit was discovered last month has concluded another short circuit could occur when the oven is again used.
