    The following has been present on the Spacetrack 'TIP' page since the 
    first proper Phobos-Grunt Message appeared:
    "Information regarding the Phobos Grunt (SCC# 37872) is being 
    accomplished in a different format. This format is different from 
    standard entries posted to SpaceTrack.org."
    
    I still think they either have an agreement of some sort with the 
    Russians, or they got riled over the Novosti shenanigans regarding the 
    unintended TIP Message round the beginning of the month.
