Phoenix has arrived at KSC

NASA's next Mars mission, the Phoenix lander, has winged its way to Florida aboard a C-17 transport plane, according to Leonard David, who apparently got to hitch a ride with the spacecraft yesterday. He says the landing was smooth, so Phoenix should be good to go for its final assembly and testing before its planned August launch. It's going to be an exciting summer, bracketed by the launch of two small but capable missions, Dawn to the asteroid belt and Phoenix to Mars!
