Re: Russia plans to launch probe - Mars's moon Phobos in 2009

While the Russian news releases lack large amounts of info they are at least anouncing which is more than they use to do.

A draft federal space program currently envisions the Phobos-Grunt project

It would appear that the Russian have been studing the play book on Oppurtunity and spirit success.

Maybe Nasa could save a little on exploration by paying for the data that they would need for future mission and for any manned missions to come.

Edit :
Russian viewpoint for space exploration.

It's already crystal clear that this manned spacecraft must be assembled in circum-terrestrial orbit, subsequently flying elsewhere; with this in mind, we'll have to build an assembly platform, also creating an effective transport-technical support system, Perminov told his audience.

If Russia tries a mission to Phobos again, it will hopefully succeed, unlike Phobos II which failed while tantalyzingly close to Phobos.
