Mars probe 'lost' about to hit the ground

The cosmic experts warn, Mars probe "lost" Russia is slowly losing orbit and can fall back to Earth on Sunday or Monday next week, bringing a wealth of debris and 12 tons highly toxic fuel.

Space Agency of Russia Roscosmos predicted Mars probe Phobos-Ground will fall out of orbit into the Indian Ocean near Madagascar on Sunday or Monday next. Roscosmos said the ship return time will be exactly as it down further. The agency also predicted debris from the ship into the ocean would be less likely to affect humans.

Probe is attached to the rocket.

However, with a weight of 14.6 tons, Phobos-Ground is one of the largest satellite fell to earth and threaten human safety. But size is not the only problem with the return of this undesirable. Phobos-Ground ship also has about 12 tons of rocket fuel used for highly toxic ship to take soil samples at Probos moon of Mars. When working on the Earth's atmosphere, make sure fuel will explode and is accompanied by damage not foreseeable.

Mr. Igor Lissov, an independent observer of Moscow, said: "rocket fuel, will cause death if exposed at close range. However, I have not heard any cases of civilians killed by contaminated fuel rockets as all land and satellite launch rocket hit the ground broken. In fact, they will be burned in the process back to earth so nothing to worry about. "

But other experts worry, frozen rocket fuel will not burn out during the fall to make it explode and threaten people's lives. In addition, scientists estimate the fragments with a total weight up to 200kg will hit the ground during the ship return.

Probe Phobos-Ground is worth $ 170 million Mars ambitions to conquer the most costly of Russia with hope that it will take about 200g of soil taken from a crater on the Martian moon Phobos. However, the ship was having problems during the launch that the propulsion of its non-scheduled operations. The ship suffered and been orbiting the earth and gravity causes it to take affect orbit. Although Russia had tried but was unable to restart the ship and look for it to fall back to the way that they never expected.
