Mars is set to have a resident later today. A NASA spacecraft is set to become the first one ever to land near the north pole of Mars. The Phoenix Mars Lander will study the planet's permafrost to see if it could have supported primitive life. Touchdown is expected at about 24:00 GMT. Now, the Phoenix was launched last summer and has traveled 679 million kilometers over the past 10 months.
