The Russian Phobos-Grunt Mission is getting ready for a major milestone system test. The mission was conceived in 1999 as a multi-purpose mission to Mars, with the key goal of landing on the surface of the Martian moon Phobos and returning its soil samples back to Earth. The spacecraft is set to launch before the end of the year (late 2011).
