Satellite orbit perturbations in a dusty Martian atmosphere

Acta Astronautica, 2012
Abstract In this paper we calculate the effect of atmospheric dust on the orbital elements of a satellite. Dust storms that originate in the Martian surface may evolve into global storms in the atmosphere that can last for months can affect low orbiter and lander missions.

Testing general relativity with Landers on the Martian satellite Phobos

Advances in Space Research, 1989
A planned experiment to obtain range and Doppler data with the Phobos 2 Lander on the surface of the Martian satellite Phobos is described. With the successful insertion on January 29, 1989 of Phobos 2 into Mars orbit, it is anticipated that the Lander will be placed on the surface of Phobos in April 1989.

Automatically Calculating Depths of Martian and Lunar Pits with Satellite Imagery

2023
Pits, or pit craters, are roughly circular depressions found in planetary surfaces which are generally formed through gravitational collapse. Pits will be primary targets for future space exploration and habitability for their presence on most rocky Solar System surfaces and their potential to be entrances to sub-surface cavities.

An analysis of Martian satellite photographic observations of 1967

Icarus, 1975
Abstract Photographic observations of the Martian satellites were made at the opposition of 1967 with the Naval Observatory's 61-inch astrometric reflector. A small partially transparent metallic film filter was used to diminish the light from Mars in order that a measurable image for the planetary disk as well as for the satellites could be obtained.

An efficient algorithm for numerical simulation of the motion of the Martian satellite Phobos

Russian Physics Journal, 1994
We give a brief description of an efficient algorithm for numerical simulation of the motion of close planetary satellites. We describe the results of applying this algorithm to the problem of simulating five years of the motion of the Martian satellite Phobos.

Localization of Lunar and Martian rovers without satellite support

2012 19th International Conference on Microwaves, Radar & Wireless Communications, 2012
This paper presents a method for localization of rovers and probes on different celestial bodies. There are no technical possibilities of running a GNSS-like (Global Navigation Satellite System) system on them. The localization is a crucial condition of proper directing the rover to destination of interest and providing relevant scientific data.
