Phoenix has a mass of 350 kg, and is 2.2 meters in height by 5.5 meters in length
(18 feet) when the solar panels are deployed. The science deck is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) diameter. To the top of the MET mast, the lander stands 7 feet (2.2 meters) high.
No, the Phoenix lander successfully landed on Mars in May 2008 and completed its mission in November 2008. After transmitting valuable data back to Earth, the mission officially concluded.
As of now, there have been eight successful landings on Mars. These successful landings were accomplished by various missions such as the Viking program, Mars Pathfinder, Spirit and Opportunity rovers, Phoenix lander, Curiosity rover, InSight lander, and Perseverance rover.
The Soviet Union's "Mars 2" had a "Prop-M"rover on board the lander but the mission failed when the lander impacted into the Martian surface .
The two missions to Mars that ended in failure are the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999, which crashed due to a navigation error, and the Mars Polar Lander in 1999, which likely crashed during its descent.
The latest satellite sent to Mars is called the Hope Probe, which was launched by the United Arab Emirates in July 2020. It is part of the Emirates Mars Mission, also known as the Hope Mars Mission, and is designed to study the Martian atmosphere and climate.
