[sci.space] Phobos II probe

thomas@mvac.UUCP (Thomas Lapp) (04/01/89)

I saw in an AP article today that the Soviets are having trouble communicat-
ing with the Phobos II  probe.  Can anyone supply more details of what has
happened?  Does this mean this project is completely down the tubes (since
the first probe died already)?
