Phobos-Grunt experiments to measure Phobos' librations

open access: yes, 2011
In the frame of the Russian Phobos-Grunt mission, Phobos librations will be measured with enough precision such that crucial constraints will be obtained on the geophysical properties of its interior, offering key information on its origin [1]. This study assess the precision that can be obtained on Phobos physical librations and discuss the knowledge ...

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.

The Phobos Geodetic Control Point Network and Rotation Model

open access: yesPlanetary and Space Science, 2014
A new global control point network was derived for Phobos, based on SRC (Mars Express), Phobos-2, and Viking Orbiter image data. We derive 3-D Cartesian coordinates for 813 control points as well as improved pointing data for 202 SRC and Viking images in

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.

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.
