Russia To Study Martian Moons Once Again
Robbie writes "The Russian space program once faced bleak prospects, receiving meager government funding. Meanwhile, the United States and the ESA continued to send automatic probes to the Red Planet. NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers are now crawling on the planet's surface, while their Russian prototypes never lifted off and are now on display at the Space Research Institute's museum. However, the situation seems to be improving today. Under a stage-by-stage national program for studying Mars, the Phobos-Grunt automatic probe will be launched in October 2009. This cutting-edge modular spacecraft costs just 1.5 billion rubles ($64.4 million)."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

NASA has been busy trying to identify what is headed this way, particularly those potential "civilization killers" of 1 kilometer in diameter - though as the Tunguska event in Siberia 100 years ago shows, the small ones matter, too.
