That video is not 27 MB large, as I initially thought, it is only 272 MB large...luckily I decided to shove it directly on my external HDD.
From here.
I think it's a good news. Hope is not dead yet
Yes, and the server is a bit slow. Still downloading here...That video is not 27 MB large, as I initially thought, it is only 272 MB large...luckily I decided to shove it directly on my external HDD.

I hope this spacecraft can be saved!
I watched the whole video, i can see a flyby of a satelite. I cant say that it's exactly Phobos-Grunt, i think it may be ISS. However, this video was posted on official website of the project, so i believe it is PG.
основная проблема состоит в том, что малонаправленные антенны МНА сейчас затенены сбрасываемым баком и управляющий сигнал для перезагрузки систем не проходит. Никто не предпологал, что придется работать в такой ситуации. Остронаправленная антенна ОНА сейчас в зачекованном положении. Для тех кто тут нес чушь про системы связи, все что установлено на АМС - самое надежное из того что есть, самое дубовое и безотказное. ТМИ нет, не потому что мы не можем ее получить, а потому что аппарат ее не выдает (по какой то причине), и сама по себе она не появится. Поздно вечером снова будут попытки передать управляющий сигнал. На этом все до завтрашнего рабочего дня. ПС старайтесь хотя бы не обижать тех людей, которые с вами инфой деляться. И не ведитесь на теории заговора. Нет в сми новой инфы, только из-за того что ее действительно НЕТ. И ни кто не хочет лишний раз светить свою фамилию сообщая неблагоприятные вести...
The latest rumour on NK has it that the low-gain omnidirectional antenna is not visible from the ground stations as the first fuel tank (the one that was supposed to be disposed of after the first burn) covers it. Which in turn means that they cannot reset the spacecraft and send orders (the directional antennas have really small field of view so chances of a signal being in the way are non-existent). If that is the case, is there any chance that they could get lucky and get a shot at the directional receivers or perhaps put enough power so that the craft could detect the input on the low-gain antenna?
ESA stations failed to contact the "Phobos-Grunt"
MOSCOW, November 10 - RIA Novosti. Stations of the European Space Agency (ESA), located in Australia and Kourou, French Guiana, was unable to establish contact with the Russian interplanetary station "Phobos-Grunt", three more attempts will be made by European experts in the night from Thursday to Friday, RIA Novosti Head of the ESA in Russia Rene Pishel.
"Our stations have tried to communicate with the device" Phobos-Grunt "today, but they did not succeed. We will try again. Our station at night again try to contact with" Phobos-Grunt "to telemetry data from the device," - said Pishel.
According to him, apart from the ESA stations in Australia and Kourou, to establish a connection with the "Phobos-Grunt" will help them to another station of ESA, located on the island of Gran Canaria (one of the Canary Islands, Spain).
Pishel noted that the ESA is in regular contact with their Russian colleagues, including experts from the Lavochkin, which manufactured the device.
Earlier, the head of the ESA in the Russian Federation reported that information from the station "Phobos-Grunt" can only be for six to nine minutes as the spacecraft is in low orbit.
Bad design...The latest rumour on NK has it that the low-gain omnidirectional antenna is not visible from the ground stations as the first fuel tank (the one that was supposed to be disposed of after the first burn) covers it.

Just the thought of a mission with such potential simpely burning up is almost sickening.
Bad design...
As a last resort, can they send up a powerful transmitter in a warhead of an ASAT missile or something like that?
Or is someone going to use an ASAT to simply bring it down. 13 metric tones with 7 metric tones of hypergolic fuel should make for quite a light show. But better to set it off in space than on the way to the ground.
That is spaceflight. Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes you are eaten by the bear.
I also dislike the use of ASATs for removing space debris
And imagine the missile itself has a glitch and locks the wrong target, a fully operating foreign satellite, that would be a disaster... LEO is pretty crowded. :shifty:
