China Works For Mars And Moon Missions

Moscow, Russia (RIA Novosti) Oct 20, 2009 -
The launch of a Russian Phobos Grunt probe to Mars on October 16 has been delayed until 2011. The delay also affects China’s first mission to Mars. The 240-pound Chinese Yinghou-1 spacecraft was to be mounted atop the Russian spacecraft for transport to the Martian orbit, where it was to be released before the Russian spacecraft landed on Phobos.
