Three more are traveling around in the sky, high above the Mars. All the six are working to find out the planet’s past. Did anything ever live on the Mars? All the living things can’t live without on the Mars? All the living things can’t live without water. Is there any water on the Mars? On September 29th, scientists had big news. One spacecraft named Phoenix found snow high in the sky on the Mars. Snow comes from water. And Phoenix also found ice before. But they can’t find any signs of life. Scientists want to explore (探索) more later. In 2009, space scientists plan to send a large rover (火星车) called the Mars Science Laboratory.
