Will the next Mars lander bake test be the last?
Settled as No
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/080811-phoenix-update.html
Background:
July 3, 2008 -- The Phoenix lander's first chemical sniff of Martian soil did not turn up any trace of the building blocks of life. Its next whiff could be its last.
Engineers said a short circuit that occurred last month in one of its test ovens designed to shake and bake miniscule soil samples could happen again when the instrument is turned on.
