A dust storm and the onset of Martian winter have brought the Phoenix Mars Lander's mission to an end, NASA announced Monday. "We are actually ceasing operations, declaring an end to mission operations at this point," project manager Barry Goldstein with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory told reporters in a teleconference. Mission controllers last heard from the vehicle on November 2. Despite ongoing efforts to re-establish contact, the spacecraft is silent. (source: nasa.gov)
