ESA responds to Phobos-Grunt tracking request
European Space Agency
7 December 2011

Following a request from Russian mission authorities, ESA is continuing its
efforts to communicate with Phobos Grunt via the Agency's 15 m-diameter
Maspalomas tracking station located in Spain. Communication attempts on
Monday, Tuesday and today, which made use of a redundant transmitter on
board the spacecraft, did not succeed. The Agency has agreed to continue the
effort until Friday, 9 December.
