> The USSR's Phobos II probe to Mars has suffered a "major hardware >problem" with its communications, according to both Defense Daily and Soviet >Areospace (Jan. 9th). [...] Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I can't help but wonder if Phobos I and Phobos II are in fact doing fine and the Soviets are only claiming failures so that they don't have to share the information from them with anyone. Does anyone have any information that would either support or discredit this idea? Kevin S. Van Horn
