Phobos Grunt Including Phobos LIFE Delayed Until 2011

The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, has decided to delay from 2009 to 2011 the launch of the Phobos Grunt mission to study and return samples from the Martian moon Phobos. The Planetary Society's LIFE (Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment) experiment, designed to test the ability of microorganisms to survive deep space flight, is part of the mission.
