GETEMME: a mission to explore the martian satellites
Experimental Astronomy, 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.

PhoDEx — a low-cost mission to explore the Martian satellite system [PDF]
, 2015 For ESA’s M4 Medium Mission Call, we proposed a low-cost mission to explore the Martian satellite system. PhoDEx (Phobos Deimos Explorer) will carry out investigations on the origin and evolution of the Martian satellites, as well as their interactions with the environments.

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.

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 ...

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1971 The Martian satellites are some of the most interesting and accessible objects in the solar system, and therefore worth studying or even visiting. As small bodies, on the order of kilometers in diameter (see table I), they may have experienced no internal heating or volcanism, and could therefore be original condensations in the solar system.
