Today is the 10th anniversary of @MarsPhoenix’s landing! We’ve got more in common than our good looks. My entry, descent and landing (EDL) system draws heavily on Phoenix’s technology. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/2E9FTJ4

10 years ago today! It started with nerves and ended with tears and cheers! I was on Mars, where were you? Here's to my team and an incredible mission that uncovered water ice, saw snow and frost, and detected intriguing soil chemistry. #PhoenixMars10
