今回大いに期待していた観測装置の一つガススペクトロメータに
ショートを生じた可能性。。。。。。生命探査あやうし。。?
不死鳥よ、蘇れ!
Testing last night of a Phoenix instrument that bakes and sniffs samples to
identify ingredients identified a possible short circuit. This prompted
commands for diagnostic steps to be developed and sent to the lander in the
next few days. The instrument is the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer. It
includes a calorimeter that tracks how much heat is needed to melt or
vaporize substances in a sample, plus a mass spectrometer to examine vapors
driven off by the heat. The Thursday, May 29, tests recorded electrical
behavior consistent with an intermittent short circuit in the spectrometer
portion.
"We have developed a strategy to gain a better understanding of this
behavior, and we have identified workarounds for some of the possibilities,"
said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, Tucson, lead scientist
for the instrument.

無事着陸したもようです。Congratulations!

観測装置も無事でありますように。
