Now for some REAL science. tentative contact has been established with Russia's Fobos-Grunt mission. Read about it here: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Operations/SEM4NEZW5VG_0.html http://www.universetoday.com/91239/contact-established-with-phobos-grunt-spacecraft-can-the-mission-go-on/ Lets hope this mission can be rescued.

They made contact, true -- but the window for a return trip from Mars back to Earth closed yesterday, so now Phobos-Grunt can't perform the mission it was sent up to do in the first place. It can do surface work and analysis, but can't bring anything back. Bittersweet victory, IMO.
