After NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander makes it nerve-wracking descent through the Martian atmosphere on Sunday and hopefully makes a safe landing on the surface of the red planet, mission scientists will not only be waiting with bated breath for the first beeps of radio signals from the craft, but also the first images it will send.


I had the opportunity yesterday to tour the Multimission Image Processing Lab (MIPL, pronounced "mipple") at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which will be responsible for processing those images and sending them to both the Phoenix science team at the University of Arizona and to the public.
