Goodnight Phoenix!
Saturday was our last attempt to contact Phoenix. We last heard from our lander on November 2nd. A massive dust storm and thick cloud cover drained our batteries and made it impossible to continue to operate the Mars lander. This was expected but we were hoping to exceed expectations by another 30 days or so. Anyway, we returned lots of good science and look forward to seeing what the science teams learn from those data in the coming months.
