"We start listening in January for signals from our lander," said Peter
Smith, Phoenix Principal Investigator at the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the
University of Arizona in Tucson. "Our engineering team is quite curious to
see how resilient the electronic systems are to the extreme cold of northern
winter," he told SPACE.com.
Still, the odds don't look too promising.

Phoenix was not designed to withstand such a callous climate. The spacecraft
was tested at minus 55 degrees Celsius (minus 67 degrees Fahrenheit), but a
winter on Mars averages about minus 126 degrees Celsius (minus 195 degrees
Fahrenheit).

"While the recovery of Phoenix is improbable given the severe conditions
that it has endured throughout the winter, the science that can still be
accomplished makes the mission worth continuing," Smith advised.

Niezerowa szansa to jest, że wiedźma tam doleci na miotle....
