It seems that the Russians have another failed satellite on their hands.

It's a real pity it didn't work, it had the potential to be a very important mission, especially the sample return :(

I,m with you on this one Trevor, It is sch a shame to lose this mission as well as every other mission that has failed in the past.

But at least there are plenty on at the moment and many more to come.

Cheers Kev.
