We begin special coverage of the Phoenix mission, landing in the Martian Arctic Circle on May 25. A media briefing featured Principal Investigator Peter Smith, Project Manager Barry Goldstein, NASA Associate Administrator Ed Weiler, and others. Emily Lakdawalla gets you started as planetary scientists in this week's Q&A contribution. Bruce Betts and Mat Kaplan are also rising from the ashes in the lead-up to Phoenix, with a look at the night sky and a new space trivia contest.

I would love to be in Pasadena this weekend:

"When NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory receives the signal that Phoenix is safely down, people around the world will stand up and cheer. And when that first picture of Mars comes down -- I can tell you from personal experience -- people will still be standing and cheering even louder. Sharing these moments with others is exciting, memorable, and just plain fun. Phoenix is about to make exploration history.

Celebrate it with us. Come to Planetfest 2008!"
