The Phoenix Mars Lander has found conclusive proof of the presence of water on Mars, the Tucson Citizen reports.
It quotes Peter Smith, principal investigator for the University-of-Arizona-led missions, as saying his scientific team "is fully convinced this is H2O."
The frozen water was found in a soil sample collected and analyzed this week, the newspaper says.
Update 4:31 p.m. ET: NASA says the Lander mission was originally scheduled to end in August, but has proven so successful that it will be extended by five weeks.
