I just visted the Russian Mars 96 site at:
http://www.iki.rssi.ru/mars96/news.htm

and saw this message ...

Mars96 after Launch:
               WE HAVE NO REASON FOR CONGRATULATION
               November, 17 - Unsuccessful result of M96 mission
        Mars-96 remains on Earth satellite orbit and will fall on Earth
surface


THere was no explanation as to what this meant on that site.  I even
checked Today@Nasa and could not find anything.  Anybody have an inside
scoop?
