The crash of Russia\'s Mars probe Phobos-Grunt was caused by space radiation and engine failure, Russia\'s Federal Space Agency Roscosmos said Tuesday. Roscosmos head Vladimir Popovkin said the interplanetary probe\' computer system was influenced by heavy-charged space particles in its flight. The space radiation even caused the malfunction of the system. Meanwhile, Popovkin also blamed the foreign-made hardware installed in the probe, saying the inferior microelectronic hardware was seen as another cause to the Mars mission\'s failure. Roscosmos confirmed in November that the Phobos-Grunt probe carrying China\'s Yinghuo-1 satellite, which was launched on Nov. 9, failed to reach the intended orbit. The spacecraft crashed into the Pacific Ocean on Jan. 15.
