A Zenit-2SB rocket, carrying the Phobos-Grunt (Phobos ?Soil) spacecraft , blasts off from the Russian leased Kazakhstan’s Baikonur cosmodrome early on November 9, 2011. The Russia’s ambitious mission to bring the first sample of the Martian moon Phobos back to Earth could end up a failure after the probe has failed to switch to a course for Mars, the Russian state space agency said today.
