America conceals information about Russian spacecraft?

In the latest dramatic development of the failed Russian launch of the Phobos-Grunt, it seems that the US military has removed many links on a website that tracks the data about the blackboard.

According to Aviation Week , the US military acted differently from the usual practice of deleting links on Space Track , a website operated by the US Strategic Command. These links are believed to provide the most up-to-date information on Russian spaceships. In addition, equally surprisingly, the US side did not give any official confirmation of the location of the Russian spacecraft.

The Phobos-Grunt vessel is said to have fallen into southern Chile on January 16.

On January 12, the Space Track website published Phobos-Grunt's expected Earthfall route. This ship was launched into space by Russia in November 2011 but encountered serious problems and stuck in Earth orbit for more than two and a half months.

However, after updating the information for about two days, the above link suddenly disappeared. On January 15, while the Russian and American press reported a lot about the Russian spacecraft falling into the Pacific, the US military was still "silent" , Aviation Week said.

Now, the only statement of this website about Phobos-Grunt's fall is only ' Information related to Phobos-Grunt has been compressed in another format' and this format is not compatible with standard posts. Space Track.

Earlier, the Russian had suspected that it was the strong signal of a US radar on a Pacific island that had accidentally intervened, causing the process of launching the Phobos-Grunt ship to malfunction. Phobos-Grunt was once an ambitious Russian project, so its failure was also one of the most shameful failures of the Russian space industry, which had failed to reach 15 out of 19 launches. ship to Mars earlier.
