The Sino-Russian Mission to Mars

A Russian rocket will lift a Chinese satellite and Russian exploration vehicle to survey Mars and Phobos, the innermost and biggest of the red planet's moons, the China Daily reported, citing China's National Space Administration.

[...]

The small Chinese satellite will explore Mars while the Russian craft will land on Phobos to explore the environment and scoop up soil samples.


The Russians try again for Phobos and the Chinese make a bid for a Martian orbiter.

Very Interesting.

Space Race? Oh yeah!
