To be a bit more precise, a Chinese micro-sat will piggyback a ride on Phobos-Grunt...

I will wait till I see the Russian spacecraft in orbit around Mars. They don't exactly have a smooth record on success in deep space, or that big of a record for that matter.

Good luck and best wishes however, the more the 'Gooder' for all of us.

From People's Daily: Space program eyes farther frontiers.

Out of curiousity, how extensively do they justify space projects to the media? These two announcements (for example) say remarkably little about the intent or importance of these projects, but that might be the reporters' fault.

Hummm, I don't believe they say much more than this to the media...
