GETEMME: a mission to explore the martian satellites
, 2011 GETEMME (Gravity, Einstein's Theory, and Exploration of the Martian Moons' Environment) is a proposition of mission towards martian's moons. The spacecraft will initially rendezvous with Phobos and Deimos in order to carry out a comprehensive mapping and characterization of the two satellites and to deploy passive laser retro-reflectors on their ...

A new reduction of USNO photographic plates of the Martian satellites
, 2012 Thanks to the new technologies, a new astrometric reduction of old photographic plates can provide a better knowledge of the orbital motion of planetary satellites. In the cadre of the FP7 european project, USNO plates were digitized with the new generation DAMIAN scanning machine.

REMOTE SENSING OBSERVATIONS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATION FOR MARTIAN LAYERED EJECTA CRATERS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 To understand past Martian climates, it is important to know the distribution and nature of water ice on Mars. Impact craters are widely used ubiquitous indicators for the presence of subsurface water or ice on Mars.

Retrospective Review of a Two-Phase Mechanically Pumped Loop for Spacecraft Thermal Control Systems [PDF]
Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2021 The main issues associated with the development of two-phase mechanically pumped loops (2-MPL) for thermal control systems of spacecraft with large heat dissipation were formulated back in the early 80s. They have undeniable advantages over single-phase

The Mars system revealed by the Martian Moons eXploration mission
Earth, Planets and Space, 2022 Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans a Phobos sample return mission (MMX: Martian Moons eXploration). In this study, we review the related works on the past climate of Mars, its evolution, and the present climate and weather to describe the ...

Interplanetary Magnetic Field Effect on the Location of the Martian Bow Shock: MAVEN Observations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Martian bow shock (BS) is generated with the mass-loading and magnetic pileup processes when the solar wind interacts with the Martian ionosphere. In this vein, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) frozen in the solar wind can affect the location ...

Low-Thrust Transfer to Quasi-Synchronous Martian Elliptic Orbit via Nonlinear Feedback Control
Aerospace, 2023 This study considers the problem of injecting a spacecraft into an elliptic, repeating-ground-track orbit about Mars, starting from a 4-sol highly elliptical orbit, which is a typical Martian capture orbit, entered at the end of the interplanetary ...

Oxygen Isotopes and Volatiles in Martian Meteorite [PDF]
, 2013 Oxygen isotopes were measured in mineral separates from martian meteorites using laser fluorination and were found to be remarkably uniform in both δ18O and Δ17O, suggesting that martian magmas did not assimilate aqueously altered crust regardless of any

Dusty plasmas at Martian satellites
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019 Dusty plasmas are shown to be formed in a surface layer over the illuminated part of Martian satellites Phobos and Deimos owing to photoelectric and electrostatic processes. The distribution functions of photoelectrons near surfaces of the satellites, altitude dependences of the density of dust particles, and their charges and sizes, as well as ...
