Landed exactly where it was supposed to and is only a half of a degree off horizontal.

Couldn't ask for a better landing!

NASA's Phoenix spacecraft landed on Mars Sunday, May 25th, to begin three months of examining an arctic site chosen for its likelihood of having frozen water within reach of the lander's robotic arm. Check today's story for details of the landing and first pictures beamed back from the landing site.
