5. "PHOBOS-GRUNT" PROJECT MISSION CONCEPT & CURRENT STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT RETURN CAPSULE Basic state: RC braking in atmosphere of the Earth performs only by aerobraking without use of parachute system which as has shown world experience, can fail; Applied form of the return capsule which aerodynamic characteristics are well known; RC landing performs on testing area "Sary-Shagan" which is equipped by necessary measuring instruments for definition of a landing point of RC which do not have active instruments such as a radio beacon.
