When was the Phoenix mars lander built?

The actual spacecraft was built and partially tested in 1999 as the Mars Surveyor 2001 lander. NASA canceled the 01 lander in 2000 after the loss of MPL and the 01 lander was put into storage. In 2002, several of original descent engines were removed and used on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, launched in 2005. The spacecraft was used for the Phoenix scout mission, awarded in 2003 and launched in 2007. A second test-only lander was built in 2004 for a hotfire testbed to prove out the terminal descent propulsion system. The 01 lander was taken out of storage in 2005 and integration and test resumed in April of 2006.
