Editing Phobos 1 (section)

== Subsequent investigation ==
After the incident at Yevpatoria, an investigation was immediately ordered to determine who was responsible for the failure. Nevertheless, disciplinary action was postponed until the completion of the ''[[Phobos 2]]'' mission. This was to prevent the demoralization of the ''Phobos 2'' team. Any penalization of the ''Phobos 1'' team would create anxiety among the ''Phobos 2'' team and reduce the chances of mission success. This postponement of punitive measures was urged by IKI director Roald Sagdeev. He quoted the former secret-service chief under [[Stalin]], [[Lavrenti Beria]], who said, "Let's make them work for now. We can shoot them all later." The investigation concluded with the dismissal of the ground control commander at Yevpatoria and the acknowledgement that the computer system was poorly designed.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Russian Planetary Exploration|last=Harvey|first=Brian|publisher=Praxis Publishing|year=2007|isbn=978-0-387-46343-8|location=Chichester, UK|pages=251–252}}</ref>
