A Nasa probe landed in the Vastitas Borealis area near the north pole of Mars yesterday.
It has cameras onboard which send back pictures to Earth.
The Phoenix mission cost $420 million and will last about 3 months.
It is hoped that water,ice and soil samples will hopeully be obtained beneath the martian surface and then analysed for organic materials.
There is also a weather station onboard.
Its batteries are replenished by light.
