I wonder if they plan on recovering the satellite and the geckos. Cameras are ok, but it would be much more useful to have a live sample of space-born geckos to research. Looking at the pictures of this thing, it looks like it might have non-destructive down-mass capabilities, but then I question whether the eggs will survive landing.

The end of the article says: "[Roscosmos] will have to wait until the satellite falls to Earth to know [what caused the communications interruption]." That sounds like they intend to de-orbit and recover the satellite to me. The real question is whether the geckos could survive re-entry. My guess is no.
