"May 23, Mars Phoenix Lander has 2.17 million miles still to travel in its 422-million-mile flight to Mars. "
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/blogs/20080523.html

The Phoenix Mars Lander mission, now in final stages of preparation for a May 25, 2008, landing,
was selected in August 2003 in the first round of the Mars Scout competition. The principal investigator is Peter Smith, University of Arizona. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is providing
project management.
http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/226508main_phoenix-landing1.pdf
"When Smith pitched the mission to NASA, he proposed retrofitting the Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander that had been sitting in storage since its mission was cancelled in 2000. The Surveyor, built by Lockheed Martin, was ready to go, but Smith wanted to modify it.
Now comes the hard part: Safely landing on Mars.
Other recent missions on Mars' surface have essentially involved dropping a spacecraft that's packed in a padded ball that breaks open on impact.
However, the Phoenix is using a more difficult landing maneuver, which hasn't been successfully done since the Viking mission in the mid-'70s: a rocket-assisted landing, in which landing thrusters will help the Phoenix touch down after a parachute slows its descent.
Smith knows all about the risks. He was one of the designers of the Mars Polar Lander, which was lost when it attempted to land near the Martian south pole in 1999."

Anticipated pace of Mars surface operations
If operations proceed relatively smoothly, the first eight to 10 days after landing will be a "characterization phase" of checking out and understanding the performance of the spacecraft's power and thermal systems, as well as the robotic arm and other instruments.
At the end of the characterization phase (date tba), the first sample of surface soil will be delivered to the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer onboard Phoenix.
Analysis of soil from the surface in both the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer and in the Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer will likely take 10 to 15 days if all processes go well. After that, each additional sampling cycle will reach a deeper subsurface level, in increments of about two to three centimeters. At each different layer, collecting and analyzing samples is expected to take 10 to 15 days, barring operational difficulties.
How soon the digging reaches the expected icy layer will depend on how far below the surface that layer lies. Estimates in advance of landing range from two to five centimeters. If the ice is at the deeper end of that range, the first analysis of an icy sample could be in July or later.
