Girls and boys...great update at ESA's website concerning Mars Express, and Phoenix, activity during May 25...
"Beginning late on 25 May, Mars Express will execute a series of pre-programmed commands specially designed to support NASA's Phoenix lander. The ESA spacecraft will conduct a high-speed slew, enabling it to track Phoenix as it enters the Martian atmosphere."
More HERE!
Now, for something completely different...I already know the results for the Through the Eyes of the Phoenix competition...
You guys will have to wait until Saturday...but our jury from the other side of the Atlantic has also give a contribution to spacEurope's Landing soundtrack...
Here are their choices!:
From the Phoenix's Education / Public Outreach:
Holst - The Planets ( Don't know why but I have chosen Mars...)
Theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey (why am I not surprised?...)
David Bowie - Space Oddity (why am I not surprised at all?...)
Elton John - Rocket Man (which I have replaced for David Fonseca's version...incredibly or not I was going to post this today...)
Lenny Kravitz - I want to Get Away (how didn't I remember that one?!...)
And...this is really a special contribution...bringing all the past experience into May 25 event...
Mark Lemmon, Co-Investigator, SSI Lead for Phoenix, told me that, seing that we here at spacEurope have this list of songs for a successful landing, he has his own list for various days. "Given the Phoenix heritage (and my personal journey with MPL and PHX) I could not bear to see Prince: 1999 left out.

Enjoy it! :-)
