The Great Phoenix Storm

The Sochi Torch ignition on 9/29/13 was 9 days after NASA completed Deep Impact and then the torch spacewalk and Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013 heavily resonates with the "phoenix storm" one year later peaking when Maven arrived at Mars...

Severe Tropical Storm Fung-Wong leaves deadly path in Philippines

Fung-Wong, which means "phoenix" in English, was centred about 630km southwest of Taipei yesterday morning, moving northwards at about 18.5km/h, and could affect eastern provinces on the mainland.

Fujian authorities said Fung-Wong's impact was already being felt by yesterday morning, with gusts of up to 88km/h recorded in one island in the province.

MENCA (Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser) is a quadrupole mass spectrometer on-board India's Mars Orbiter Mission, MOM. In Indian mythology, "Menaka" considered to be the prettiest dancers (nymph)  in "Indralok" the palace of god's god, "The Indra".

The palace of god launched a day before the phoenix!

Tropical Storm Fung-Wong leaves 200,000 displaced in Philippines, heads for Taiwan

Tropical storms regularly hit the Philippines, with Fung-Wong the second to hit in two weeks.
 Last year, typhoon Haiyan struck in the central Philippines, killing more 6,300 people. An average of 20 typhoons hit the country every year.

 NASA's MAVEN Spacecraft Reaches Mars

The mission was spawned by NASA's Mars Scout Program, which, although discontinued in 2010, yielded Phoenix, MAVEN, and numerous missions' studies.^[14]

 The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, setting out on a complex asteroid sample return mission of seven years, was built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems based on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the MAVEN spacecraft also orbiting Mars

 


Maven's solar wings evoke the Bennu like the Osiris Rex spacecraft inspiring "asteroid Bennu" as stated by NASA in their selection...

 "At first look, OSIRIS-REx may remind you of a recent space traveler, the MAVEN spacecraft. And you would be right. OSIRIS-REx draws many of its structures, subsystems and software from MAVEN" 

 https://lockheedmartin.com/en-us/news/features/2016/webt-osiris-rex-returning-asteroid-samples.html

"According to ancient mythology, Bennu was the manifestation of the god Osiris on Earth, taking the form of a heron—a slender bird. OSIRIS-REx looks particularly bird-like with its solar panels and sample arm deployed; hence, Bennu was a perfect fit."
http://www.planetary.org/blogs/jason-davis/2016/20160907-osiris-rex-ready-for-launch.html

 Maven looks even more heron/phoenix/bird like than Osiris Rex.

A phoenix rises from the martian underworld as another descends and a phoenix storm above/phoenix quake below...


Maven launched 11/18/13 exactly 5 years before Osiris reaches Bennu, initiating the 2018 phoenix storm before Insight arrives 1 week later!

Arrival at Bennu will be marked around November 18, 2018 when OSIRIS-REx arrives at a distance of five Kilometers where the approach will be halted for a period of tandem flying at the 5km distance.

 

The new launch period for the mission begins May 5, 2018, with a Mars landing scheduled for Nov. 26, 2018. 

 

 InSight's landing site is Elysium Planitia, a flat, smooth plain selected not for its surface features, but for safety considerations. InSight's purpose is to study the interior of Mars, not the surface. Thus, in the selection of a landing site, what's on the surface mattered less on this mission than for previous rover missions focused on the geology.

Planitia is Latin for a flat surface, geometric plane or flatness or a plain. Elysium is from the ancient Greek name for an afterlife paradise, usually referred to in English as the Elysian Fields.

It makes sense now that India's MOM was about the "palace of god"!

The 2014 Sochi Olympics were followed by 2018 WC deep impact in October:

The Phoenix logo for the 2018 World Cup was unveiled OCT 28 from the ISS, coinciding with the Antares/Mars explosion headed to the ISS the same day:

"The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft entered Mars orbit on 21 September 2014, about a month before the comet encounter, on a mission to study the behavior of the upper atmosphere and the escape of its constituent gases to space"https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2015GL063863

 Comet Siding Spring Swings Past Mars - Comet C/2013 A1

NASA's Mars Odyssey and newly arrived MAVEN spacecraft (short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution), India's Mangalyaan orbiter and Europe's Mars Express probe were also slated to observe the encounter from orbit. MAVEN is especially suited to study any interaction between Siding Spring's dust and Mars' upper atmosphere, which could reveal insights about the Red Planet's air.

The Phoenix Storm is also very much linked to the Olympics as seen in 2008:

Fung Wong continues to wreak havoc as it lashes through inland China

https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hurricanes/archives/2008/h2008_fungwong.html

   The tourism authority in Qingdao, a co-host city of the Beijing Olympic Games, asked all travel agencies not to organize tour groups to seaside scenic sites during the period to avoid Fung Wong.

Fung-wong may refer to tropical cyclones in the Pacific Ocean. The name is the Cantonese pronunciation of fenghuang (鳳凰) "phoenix".
