"Феникс" останется на Марсе до следующего лета 30.09.2008 14:05 | www.rian.ru
Ну формально они правы -
Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory have scheduled a series of overflights this month by NASA's Odyssey orbiter, which will listen for telltale transmissions from an awakening Phoenix....But the lander is programmed to signal its survival, should it prove hardier than expected considering its engineering. As the sun begins to shine, if its solar panels are intact and capable of generating electricity and if its redundant radios and antennas haven't succumbed to the cold, it will broadcast a signal every 21 hours for a two-hour span.It won't know the time, so it's impossible to synchronize a fly-by of the Odyssey.NASA will send the orbiter over the landing site 30 times during a three-day period, next Monday to Jan. 21, trying to detect radiation and listening for a radio signal.It will do the same thing, twice more, in subsequent months.
Так понимаю, что разбудить "отморзка" было запланировано изначально, но только лишь для того, чтобы само это событие совершилось.
