...does, Phoenix Lander will probably offer a first look at actual Martian water ice rather than the dry water scars of millenniums past. To do that, the lander will use a digging arm and a suite of mineralogy instruments to hunt for salts, clays and other signs that liquid water is manipulating the soil. If Phoenix Lander hits its targets, this will be a big step toward later missions that will search for microscopic organic life. "Pay attention," Smith says, "because it's the polar region. No one's ever been there, and it's going...

...emit particles that are 90% water, in vaporized form, and contribute to the large rings around Saturn. "It's like the steam coming out of your kettle," Hansen-Koharcheck says. By analyzing the molecular structure of these particles, scientists hope to determine whether the vapor originates as ice or liquid, and whether that means there could be life in Enceladus's interior, beneath the surface...

...neutral mass spectrometer, and a cosmic dust analyzer, Cassini will photograph yet unseen parts near the moon's south pole. It will also use infrared technology to create a comprehensive map of surface temperatures at the south pole. Warmer temperatures increase the likelihood that there is water in liquid form on the small moon...
