Nasa postponed the launch of the Mars probe

As expected, the Phoenix spacecraft will be launched on this Friday (August 3) but eventually has to be postponed in 24g. The reason is that yesterday's extremely bad weather (31-7) around Canaveral, Florida, prevented the refueling of Phoenix.

Under the plan, Phoenix will descend to the North Pole of Mars, analyze specimens such as earth, ice, and seek traces of past and present life.

If you launch the probe this Saturday (4-8) under the new plan, the Phoenix will arrive in Mars in May 2008. Unlike the roaming robots or wandering like Spirit and Opportunity, Phoenix will stand a place. He will use his robot arm, dig deep into the ice and send samples to earth for analysis.

Phoenix's mission this time is very important, because before that, attempts to explore Mars have failed.
