What’s twisting our antenna,

Phobos-Grunt, what really happened?
The Phobos-Grunt Probe destined for Mars has apparently completed its earth orbit, crashing onto our Blue Marble somewhere, sometime on January 15, 2012. We asked last month if HAARP had something to do with its failed mission in December in this article- https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/did-haarp-hit-phobos-grunt-conspiracy-mars/
“Crashed into ocean: Russian Federal Space Agency specialists prepare the Phobos-Grunt spacecraft on October 18, 2011.”
Looks like we aren’t the only ones questioning HAARP in Alaska, and other radar installations.
Lt. Gen. Nikolay Rodionov, a former commander of Russia’s ballistic missile systems, says covert U.S. radio beams — not any Russian screw-ups — scrubbed the interplanetary trip
In a November 24, 2011 interview with the Russian news agency Interfax, Rodionov said ‘powerful American radar’ in Alaska ‘could have influenced the control systems of our interplanetary rover,'” Nash wrote in his post:
Rodionov was quoted saying the U.S. wants to use the ionosphere as part of its missile defense, although he did not elaborate. A subsequent article in India’s The Hindu expanded on Rodionov’s statement, indicating that he was likely referring to the U.S.’s (HAARP) observatory established in 1993. http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/russians-blame-us-militarys-alaska-haarp-array-mars-probe-failure
ESA failed to contact it, suggesting that the data was encrypted. Russia claims to have gotten telemetry and had exchanged data. If they did, it wasn’t enough to spare Phobos-Grunt’s demise.
Numerous satellite tracking sites were able to pinpoint its location- until apparently, the last hours of Phobos life. Either communication was lost, demand exceeded band-with or there was some other nefarious reason we couldn’t track its apparent final demise- if in fact, it has crashed at all.

Oh wait! The Federal Space Agency of Russia said it suffered a DDos-attack says http://lenta.ru/news/2012/01/16/hacked/ via:

Russian Space Agency fails 2 report the fall of Phobos-Grunt due 2 a hacker attack
http://bit.ly/z4hTfh <- DDoS a good excuse 4 everything
Website of the Federal Space Agency of Russia suffered DDoS-attack in the night from Sunday to Monday, January 16. Об этом сообщает “Интерфакс” со ссылкой на начальника пресс-службы Роскосмоса Алексея Кузнецова. Informs “Interfax”referring to the head of the press service of the Russian Space Agency, Alexei Kuznetsov.
По его словам, из-за атаки сайт ведомства не смог своевременно сообщить о факте падения “Фобос-Грунта”. According to him, due to the attack site office was unable to timely report the fact of the fall of the “Phobos-Grunt.” Утром 16 января на веб-ресурсе Роскосмоса висела стандартная “заглушка” от хостинговой компании “Мастерхост”, которая гласила: “Виртуальный сервер не существует или временно не функционирует”. On the morning of January 16 on your Web server hung Roscosmos standard “stub” of the hosting company “Masterhost”, which read: “Virtual Server does not exist or is temporarily not functioning.”
HACKED?
And it gets better-The U.S. Removes Phobos-Grunt Data from Web! http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_channel.jsp?channel=space&id=news/awx/2012/01/18/awx_01_18_2012_p0-415578.xml&headline=U.S.%20Removes%20Phobos-Grunt%20Data%20from%20Web
The website, Space Track, is managed by U.S. Strategic Command (Stratcom) at Offutt AFB, Neb.,
…the military deviated from normal practice when it removed links to the spacecraft’s reentry predictions while neglecting to publish final reentry data for the defunct probe Jan. 15. Instead, the site posted a vague statement asserting Phobos-Grunt “decayed within the forecast period of 16:59-17:47” GMT….
Weeden, a former U.S. Air Force officer who directed the Joint Space Operations Center’s orbital analyst training program, has no idea what would motivate the U.S. military to break with standard protocol for Phobos-Grunt. But he says the unusual steps taken by the military raise questions about the reliability of its data with regard to high-profile or important events such as Phobos-Grunt.
“This also appears to run counter to the expressed policy of the U.S. government to improve its data-sharing efforts on space situational awareness, and undermines efforts by other U.S. government agencies such as NASA and the State Department to communicate with the public and other countries on reentries,” Weeden says.
Got your tinfoil hat on yet?
Phobos was allegedly stuck around 201km perigee and 275 km apogee and had gradually declined when reports came in that it had crashed 17:45 UTC, 1:45 EST. Crashed where? Did it crash at all? The leading answers are the Pacific, central Brazil, some place off Chile or the Atlantic.
Previously Russia’s envoy to NATO and now Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin isn’t ruling out that the launch could have failed from U.S. radar saying on Tuesday, ‘This theory has a right to exsist. I am taking the investigation into the reasons for the Phobos-Grunt failure under personal control.’ Rodionov and Rogozin don’t stand alone in the HAARP theory.
The Soviet Union once a country united is nothing, if not cohesive in lying blame on others. Roscosmos head Vladamir Popovkin sad the probe could have been caused by, “interference from a foreign technical facility.”
“Experts do not dismiss the possibility that the probe could have accidentally come under the impact of emissions [from a U.S. radar stationed on the Marshall Islands], whose megawatt impulse triggered the malfunctioning of on-board electronics.” Kommersant, the business daily citing an unnamed source in the Russian Space industry.”
In the Marshall Islands, it is The Kwajalein Mission Control Center (KMCC) that provides the central control, command, communications, and computing essential for directing the realtime data collection efforts of the RTS sensors. A high bandwidth submarine fiber optic transmission system provides encrypted connectivity between KMCC and the entire range. complex….https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/09/30/earthquake-conspiracy/
If the Marshall Island Control Center had nothing to do with Phobos-Grunt demise, at the very least shouldn’t they have been tracking it?
Many Russian officials and military brass blame many natural calamities on HAARP. Tatiana Astrakhankina, a former Duma deputy, has been quoted as saying: “The catastrophic flood in Germany, France and the Czech Republic, tornadoes near the Italian coast, which had never witnessed tornadoes before, are nothing but the results of U.S. geophysical weapons tests.” In 2002, the Defense Committee created a table showing the adverse climate impact of the HAARP tests of ionosphere and magnetosphere modifications. http://indrus.in/articles/2012/01/19/what_brought_down_phobos-grunt_14560.html

Phobos-Grunt fragments have crashed down in the Pacific Ocean,” Russia’s Defense Ministry official Alexei Zolotukhin told RIA Novosti, adding that the fragments fell in 1,250 kilometers to the west of the island of Wellington.
The spacecraft allegedly fell at about 21:45 on Sunday Moscow time [17:45 GMT].
The head of Roscosmos, Vladimir Popovkin, previously said the probe would break up during reentry into the atmosphere and none of the fragments are likely to reach the Earth. http://en.rian.ru/world/20120115/170769403.html
Now- is that a hacked report from RIA? You tell me.
If a tree falls over in the woods and there is no one to see it or hear it, did it really fall?
The German Tira (Tracking and Imaging Radar) facility saw Phobos-Grunt during its last days.Phobos-Grunt was a 13.5-tonne spacecraft’s with an estimated 7.5 tons of fuel, stored in aluminum tanks that should have exploded upon reentry making quite a scene. Perhaps visible from the ISS and certainly visible to at least on of the 1,000’s of other orbital satellites, no? German tracking shared this undated photo suggesting that the Phobos-Grunt last days were on fire.
A Russian space probe designed to boost the nation’s pride on a bold mission to a moon of Mars came down in flames Sunday, showering fragments into the south Pacific west of Chile’s coast, officials said.
Pieces from the Phobos-Ground, which had become stuck in Earth’s orbit, landed in water 1,250 kilometers (775 miles) west of Wellington Island in Chile’s south, the Russian military Air and Space Defense Forces said in a statement carried by the country’s news agencies.
The military space tracking facilities were monitoring the probe’s crash, its spokesman Col. Alexei Zolotukhin said. Zolotukhin said the deserted ocean area is where Russia guides its discarded space cargo ships serving the International Space Station.
RIA Novosti news agency, however, cited Russian ballistic experts who said the fragments fell over a broader patch of Earth’s surface, spreading from the Atlantic and including the territory of Brazil. It said the midpoint of the crash zone was located in the Brazilian state of Goias. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/failed-russian-spacecraft-will-crash-on-earth-within-hours-agency-says/2012/01/15/gIQA1e9U0P_story.html
In Chile’s South?
Turn your antennae to ALMA, The Atacama Large Millimeter/sub millimeter Array or radio telescope in the Atacama desert of norther Chile. At 16,500 feet, (5,000 meters) scientist are tracking supernovae, black holes, and the final frontier. Apparently ALMA can not track one little lost satellite. Is the new fiber-optic system capable of outbound communication interruption to a satellite?
What else is in the region of the alleged fall?
The Brazilian Decimetric Array (BDA) in Cachoeira Paulista, São Paulo, Brazil is a 38-element radio telescope interferometer working in the frequency range of 1.2-6.0 GHz.- wiki. And what is the frequency of HAARP?
Two firings from the probe’s hydrazine-fueled cruise stage were planned over South America shortly after launch in November and it failed in the same region.
Rather convenient if the reports are true that there was no one to witness Phobos-Grunt’s crash. Shouldn’t there be a black box of sorts?
NASA and the Brazil Space Agency have Inked a Earth Sciences Agreement, http://moonandback.com/2011/10/27/nasa-brazil-space-agency-ink-earth-sciences-agreement/ What else may they have agreed to cooperate on?
Our personal favorite failure blame lies with an asteroid.
members of the official investigation team suspect the United States of ‘accidentally’ lobotomizing the probe right after it was launched. In this scenario, the Americans were innocently beaming radar signals deep into space to get measurements of a passing asteroid, and forgot to warn Russia. The probe passed through the beam by chance and its autopilot was fried. http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/aerospace/space-flight/russian-probe-crash-sparks-new-controversy .
Last, but not least- The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) an international governmental forum for the worldwide coordination of activities related to the issues of man-made and natural debris in space has, of course, no comment. http://www.iadc-online.org/index.cgi?item=home
Roscosmos is expected to hold a news conference tomorrow, January 20, 2012. Yeah, we’re really holding our breath.
Stay tuned and have a good day; one day it will be your last. God Bless.
