Obvious fraud: malfunctioning camera

Robert — 9/2/2002 6:44:33 PM (archived)

I downloaded NSSDC's collection of Phobos-2 images, and it's clear that the camera is hosed. About half the images have a vertical streak, of varying lengths; and when it appears, it appears at the same location horizontally, no matter where the camera is pointing.

The complete collection is here.

The perpetrator had to know what he/she was doing. What are the odds that he saw just that one image? An obvious and intentional fraud.
