Russia's Failed Mars Probe, Phobos-grunt, Is About To Fall Back To Earth - Quite Probably On Sunday. by universial(m): 9:54am On Jan 14, 2012
The spacecraft has been losing
altitude rapidly in recent days and
will soon be pulled into the top of
the atmosphere where it will be
destroyed.
Phobos-Grunt weighed some 13
tonnes at launch, but very little of
this mass should make it through
to the surface.
Russian space agency
(Roscosmos)
estimates suggest perhaps only
200kg will survive the fiery plunge.
Orbital debris experts say there are
large uncertainties in predicting re-
entry events and it is currently not
possible to forecast precisely when
or where on Earth the final descent
will occur.
