Russian spacecraft began to turn chaotic

The 'Phobos-Grunt' Russian spacecraft trapped in orbit began to turn chaotic and not subject to Earth's command , although it has recently been oriented towards the Sun, astronomers amateur said.

The solar orientation is important for this space device to survive by collecting energy from the Sun to run the battery. Now disoriented, it begins to chaos and soon will be lost and lost in space.

Measurements taken by US observers on 11, 13 and 19 show that the ship is still in stable positions. However, on December 5, astronomer Simone Corbellini announced that this stability had been lost: 'Its brightness changes every 20 seconds . I mean it is tumbling on the flight path'.

The RIA Novosti news agency, when analyzing images on the internet, also said that 'Phobos-Grunt' was deviated from the necessary position.

'Phobos-Grunt' is the first space station after 15 years of being sent to sample the rock on Mars's Phobos satellite, launching from the Baiconur space airport on November 9, but the motive to go Next available flight line does not start.

In about 2 weeks, the relationship with the Earth kept fluttering. Many amateur astronomers have used their optical devices to find out where it is in order to ensure the direction of the Sun. To do this, they accurately measured the object's brightness change to determine its rotation speed.
