10:17 am
that this probe has failed in switching from the sun to the stars and if they can send a software patch and upload that patch to the pro they should be able to go about it in vision just a few days late now the big problems come and arise if it turns out to be a problem with the hardware the focus probe contains seven tons of highly toxic fuel of course this fear was intended on sending it from earth to the moon or mars and then back to earth so there's a lot of a fuel onboard there one nasa expert has referred to the phobias probe as the most toxic falling satellite ever so this is a problem that last cause most of the russian space agency are facing that they may have to come up with some kind of contingency plan to deal with a potentially toxic. problem caused by the fuel that's on board this probe. right there now let's get to some other international headlines for you this hour
