The tests conducted so far by Phoenix on Martian soil, didn’t show any indications of water. During the past couple of days tests had been carried out on soil sample from Mars surface. Phoenix lander had collected samples from two digging sites named Dodo and BabyBear. The mysterious, unidentified white material exposed in the trench is still visible. Over the coming days, scientists will instruct Phoenix to heat the sample to 1000°C (1800°F). This will vaporize minerals that might be chemically bound to H2O, CO2 or SO2 and then use instrumentation to measure the vented gases. The twin Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have already found indications of water on previous missions.
