Spacecraft exploration of Phobos and Deimos [PDF]

open access: yesPlanetary and Space Science, 2014
We review the previous exploration of Phobos and Deimos by spacecraft. The first close-up images of Phobos and Deimos were obtained by the Mariner 9 spacecraft in 1971, followed by much image data from the two Viking orbiters at the end of the 70s, which

Phobos map and Phobos globe

Advances in Space Research, 1992
Abstract For the first time the tri-axial ellipsoid was used as the reference surface for map and globe compiling. The coordinate systems were modified. The new cartographic projections were calculated.

Does Phobos Reflect Solar Wind Protons? Mars Express Special Flyby Operations With and Without the Presence of Phobos

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research E: Planets, 2021
International audienceWe characterize the solar wind proton reflection (backscattering) from Phobos using a series of Mars Express operations. The plasma data obtained during the Phobos flyby of Mars Express in January 2016 showed a non-solar wind signal

Radar Detection of Phobos

Science, 1989
Radar echoes from the martian satellite Phobos provide information about that object's surface properties at scales near the 3.5-cm observing wavelength. Phobos appears less rough than the moon at centimeter-to-decimeter scales. The uppermost few decimeters of the satellite's regolith have a mean bulk density within 20% of 2.0 g cm

Interpretation of the surface brightness of Phobos

Planetary and Space Science, 1991
Analysis of disk resolved images of Phobos obtained by the Phobos 2 spacecraft allows us to study the surface scattering law and albedo variations. From low phase angle images we find variations in local geometric albedo 10%, with a correlation length 1km. The scattering law is reasonable well matched by the recent proposed LPI (Lumme et al.

Motion of Phobos

Nature, 1969
THERE have been several attempts to explain the large secular acceleration of the motion of Phobos (the closer of the two satellites of Mars) that was derived by Sharpless1 by fitting a quadratic expression for the mean longitude to five selected groups of orbital elements covering the period 1879 to 1941.

Marsshine on Phobos

Icarus, 1979
The Viking Orbiters have obtained several images of Phobos at large phase angles in which the portion of the satellite not directly illuminated by the sun is faintly visible. A photometric analysis of one such image is presented to prove that the phenomenon is real and can be explained by Marsshine (i.e., the illumination of Phobos by sunlight ...

Phobos and Deimos

2015
Once the Galilean satellites of Jupiter were discovered and the Copernican model of the solar system became widely accepted, Mars’ apparent lack of a moon was notable. By the end of the seventeenth century, Saturn was known to have at least five satellites, a number that swelled to seven by the end of the eighteenth century.

Is Phobos Magnetized?

Solar System Research, 2004
The available experimental data and theoretical reasons allow us to point out only the upper limit of Phobos' magnetic moment, which does not exceed 1018 G cm3.
