Phobos and deimos: Analysis of surface features, ejecta dynamics and a volatile loss mechanism

, 1980
The question of whether the crater population on Phobos represents a production population or an equilibrium population is considered. The absolute ages of cratered surfaces are interpreted and analyzed.

Precise modeling of the precession-nutation of Mars

, 1999
International audienceThis paper aims to present the theoretical study of the precession and of the nutation of the planet Mars considered as a rigid body, in a rigorous way, by using canonical equations related to Hamiltonian theory, and by taking into ...

The imaging performance of the SRC on Mars Express

, 2008
The Mars Express spacecraft carries the pushbroom scanner high-resolution stereo camera (HRSC) and its added imaging subsystem super resolution channel (SRC). The SRC is equipped with its own optical system and a 1024×1024 framing sensor.

Phobos/Deimos Sample Return via Solar Sail

, 2004
A sample-return mission to the martian satellites using a contemporary solar sail for all post-Earth-escape propulsion is proposed. The 0.015 kg/sq m areal mass-thickness sail unfurls after launch and injection onto a Mars-bound Hohmann-transfer ellipse.
