Phoenix Lander and Future Scout Missions

This article outlines the new NASA probe Phoenix, and talks about its goals and mission plans. Later on in the article though is some more information on upcoming rovers. Phoenix is apparently going to be a stationary platform, whereas the next probe in the Mars Scout series will be the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL). This rover will be three times as heavy as Spirit and Opportunity and twice as long! That's pretty cool.
