The US has sent an unmanned probe to Mars, the Phoenix, which is supposed to be landing on Mars later this evening. MSNBC provides a live feed of discussion and coverage of the landing.
This landing will differ from prior landings since the lander is targeting the Martian North Polar region.
Here's a breakdown of scheduled events prior to, and after, landing.
UPDATE:
The Phoenix has landed, and the scientists are determining the craft's status. The next major task is to unfurl the solar arrays.
