I found a spanish article about the future launch of a Russian with the cooperation of ESA spacecraft to land on one of Mars satellites: Phobos. The year 2010 would be an interesting year with many Mars missions: MSL and Phobus.
Phobos-Grunt The mission designed to study Mars from its orbit, the landing on its moon, Phobos, and the return of soil samples from Phobos back to Earth has been stalled by financial problems.  This mission’s objectives are to collect soil samples from Phobos, a satellite of Mars and to bring the samples back to Earth for comprehensive scientific research into Phobos, Mars and Martian space. Studies would include: * both in situ and remote studies of Phobos, including laboratory analysis of the soil samples * monitoring the planet Mars, including the holistic dynamic behaviour of the atmosphere and dust storms * studies of Martian surroundings, including plasma and dust components, and the radiation environment On October 22, 2005, the Russian government signed decree No. 635, approving Federal Space Program for 2006-2015. It included funding for the Phobos-Grunt project, then slated for launch in October 2009 onboard the Soyuz-2 rocket. http://www.sondasespaciales.com/modules.ph...rticle&sid=1632 http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/ESA_Permanent_...IJFW4QWD_0.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phobos-Grunt Rodolfo |

-------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
