[FPSPACE] New Fobos-Grunt developments

[Morris Jones]

Dear Paolo and other FPSers,

Looking at the new diagram, and one of the Le Bourget pictures, reveals more 
additions than just the Chinese microsatellite. Russia will apparently send 
a small capsule to the surface of Mars to take meteorological readings. 
Interesting. There's a diagram of it in Paolo's flikr album.

Any more information on this?
