Russia's space agency Roscosmos said the Phobos-Grunt will crash between 16:41 and 21:05 GMT. It could come down anywhere along the route of its next few orbits, which would include Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia and South America. The US, Canada and much of Russia are outside the risk zone.
"The resulting risk isn't significant," said Prof. Heiner Klinkrad, head of The European Space Agency's Space Debris Office that is monitoring the probe's descent.
