  /TI  RUSSIAN SPACE PROGRAM TAKES HIT AS  MARS PROBE FALLS IN OCEAN 
  JN=, JC=, PD=, PY=  Atlanta Journal (AJ) - Monday, November 18, 1996 
  AU=  By: FROM OUR NEWS SERVICES 
  /SH, SH=  Section: FOREIGN NEWS  Page: A01

    MEMO: 
  /ME  This story first ran in the Today's News edition of The Atlanta Journal. 
     
    TEXT: 
  DL=, /LP, /TX  Sydney,  Australia  -  A Russian Mars probe plunged into the Pacific Ocean, 
    taking  with  it  the  danger  of a nuclear contamination and, perhaps, the 
    future of the Russian space program. 
     
         News that the craft carrying plutonium was plummeting toward Earth put 
    Australian  military  and civil defense teams on high alert and sent Aussie 
    gamblers scrambling to predict where it would land. 
     
  /TX       But  all  bets were off when the Mars 96 spacecraft overshot Australia 
    and plunked harmlessly into the South Pacific. 
          However,  there  was  much  harm  done  to  the  ailing Russian space 
    program. Disappointed scientists are looking at a bleak future of shrinking 
    budgets, aging facilities and dim prospects for new missions. 
     
         The  space  probe,  which  would  have  reached Mars in September, was 
    already  two  years behind schedule by the time it lifted off late Saturday 
    night  at  the  Baikonur  cosmodrome  in  the  former  Soviet  republic  of 
    Kazakhstan. 
     
         Scientists  blamed  the  delay  on chronic money problems in a program 
    that is receiving only one-fifth the cash it got in Soviet times. 
     
         James  Oberg,  an  American  specialist  on  Russian space activities, 
    described  Mars  96  as  "a strikingly ambitious mission even for a healthy 
    space   program."  But,  he  said,  "you  can't  keep  flaunting  the  odds 
    indefinitely." 
     
         "There  aren't any booster rockets. There isn't any money," one of the 
    scientists on the project, Vladimir Utkin, told reporters last week. 
     
         "That  was  going to be an important Mars mission, and now it's in the 
    drink,"  said  David  McKay, one of the NASA researchers who recently found 
    meteorite evidence that life might once have existed on Mars. 
     
         Russia's  Mars 96 spacecraft, which carried four radioactive plutonium 
    batteries,  spun  out  of  control  Sunday after a booster rocket failed in 
    orbit shortly after blastoff. 
     
         Scientists  attempting  to  track the craft predicted it would fall at 
    17,000  mph  somewhere  between  the  Timor  Sea  near  Indonesia  and  the 
    Australian capital, Canberra. 
     
         But  Mars  96  took  another  tack, falling into the ocean near Easter 
    Island  about  620  miles  west  of  Chile,  said  Alan Hodges, director of 
    Emergency Management Australia. 
     
         Scientists theorized that the probe's trajectory had altered as it hit 
    Earth's upper atmosphere.
