Groove formation on Phobos from reimpacting orbital ejecta of the Stickney crater
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2022 Numerous linear grooves have long been recognized as covering the surface of Phobos, but the mechanisms of their formation are still unclear. One possible mechanism is related to the largest crater on Phobos, the Stickney crater, whose impact ejecta may ...

Qualification of the MMX Rover Locomotion Subsystem for the Martian Moon Phobos
IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2023 Planetary rovers have proven their function and value for the Earth moon as well as Mars in the past decades. While these celestial bodies have a gravity of the same order of magnitude as the Earth, wheeled locomotion has never been performed on a body ...

Testing for the MMX Rover Autonomous Navigation Experiment on Phobos
IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2023 The MMX rover will explore the surface of Phobos, Mars' bigger moon. It will use its stereo cameras for perceiving the environment, enabling the use of vision based autonomous navigation algorithms.

Rotational motion of Phobos [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 Context. Phobos is in synchronous spin-orbit resonance around Mars, like our Moon around the Earth. As a consequence, the rotational period of Phobos is equal in average to its orbital period. The variations of its rotational motion are described by oscillations, called physical librations, which yield information of its interior structure. The largest

MMX Rover Simulation - Robotic Simulations for Phobos Operations
IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2022 The MMX Rover, developed by CNES and DLR, will fly to and explore the surface of the Martian Moon Phobos within the JAXA Martian Moon Exploration Mission. It will be the first wheeled locomotion system in a milli-g environment.

Modelling cometary meteoroid stream traverses of the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft en route to Phobos [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 The Martian Moons Exploration (MMX) spacecraft is a JAXA mission to Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos. MMX will be equipped with the Circum-Martian Dust Monitor (CMDM) which is a newly developed light-weight ( $$\mathrm {650\,g}$$ 650 g ) large area (

Phobos and deimos surface composition: Search for spectroscopic analogs
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 Phobos and Deimos, the two satellites of Mars were largely studied in the past using ground-based telescope and spacecraft data, although most of the data were obtained by opportunity observations performed by Mars dedicated orbiters.
