"According to the last calculated data," Phobos-Grunt "may fall in 21.32 GMT plus or minus 1.6 hours," - said Pishel.
According to him, an indication of the impact area of debris will become available no earlier than one hour before entering the machine in the Earth's atmosphere.
"It is possible to calculate only during the passage of the spacecraft its final turn around the Earth" - concluded the representative of the ESA.
Data Space Agency
Federal Space Agency, according to recent estimates, expects that the plant will fall to Earth in the range between 20.41 and 01.05 GMT on Sunday GMT on Monday.
The device falls into a "strip" of 51.4 degrees north latitude to 51.4 degrees south latitude. According to 12.00 Moscow time on Sunday, "Phobos-Grunt" in Earth orbit with an apogee of 153.4 km and a perigee of 133.5 kilometers.
In this report, Russian Space Agency, as well as in the previous year, the central point is not specified timeframe, as well as the crash site, which corresponds to this point. However, the much smaller area was estimated incidence of debris.
In turn, the source in the Russian space industry told RIA Novosti that "Phobos-Grunt" may enter the atmosphere over the north-western regions of China, near the western border of Mongolia.
According to him, the central point corresponds to the location of log coordinates 41.8 degrees north latitude, 91.7 degrees east longitude.
This point is located on the territory of China, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 404 kilometers from Urumqi.
However, the spokesman stressed that in reality, the device can enter the atmosphere far from that point.
"We have spread more than a turn in either direction, so to speak about the point is not quite correct. One turn in front of him and one after," - said the source.
