AFM release (sort of)
The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) images that were taken on the Phoenix mission have been released to the Planetary Data Systems (PDS) archive. Unfortunately, they are contained in .dat binary files apparently as byte arrays rather than in the standard image formats, so they are not easy to view.

PDS offers two services for searching the Phoenix archives:

* The Phoenix Analyst's Notebook at the Geosciences Node allows searching and browsing of Phoenix data in the context of mission events, for the expert user.
