A different site mentions that the ISS crew might monitor both Fregat engine burns. No confirmation of that so far.

I suppose that, following a successful launch, and in keeping with Russian space tradition,
the probe may be christened "Phobos 3". I do hope that it lasts a lot longer than Mars 8.. |

I'm terrible with time zones. Launch is set for 20:16 GMT which is about an hour from now. Right?

QUOTE (Syrinx @ Nov 8 2011, 11:12 AM)  Launch is set for 20:16 GMT which is about an hour from now. Right? It depends on how fast you are traveling and your proximity to any large mass. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Seems to be an extremely interesting mission... hopefully the Russians have better luck with Mars now than in the past...
PS A spectacular nighttime launch!! |
