Studying mid-range planar orbits around phobos

, 2018
The goal of the present paper is to search and study mid-range planar orbits for a spacecraft traveling near Phobos. The first step is to make a numerical search and classification of natural orbits based in the concept of “Quasi Satellite Orbits” (QSO).

Origin of Phobos and Deimos: Orbital Evolution Shortly after Formation from a Potential Dislocation

The Planetary Science Journal
This paper deals with the formation and evolution of Mars’ moons, Phobos and Deimos, assuming the dislocation of a larger progenitor as the origin of these moons. The study by R. Hyodo et al.

Calibration of the MEGANE gamma-ray and neutron spectrometer for JAXA’s Mars Moon eXplorer (MMX) mission to Phobos

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
JAXA’s Mars Moon eXploration (MMX) spacecraft carries a NASA-provided γ-ray and neutron spectrometer called MEGANE. MEGANE’s measurements will be used to characterize the elemental composition of Mars’ largest and innermost moon, Phobos, with the goal of

Exogenous carbonaceous material on Phobos

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. We analyze Mars Express (MeX)/OMEGA Phobos’ data in the 2.5–3.9 μm range to investigate the presence of organic material. Methods. We applied a thermal correction to the OMEGA data and identified regions of interest (ROIs) to extract mean spectra ...

Longitudinal heterogeneity of Phobos’ crater size-frequency distribution: coevolution of resurfacing and orbital dynamics

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
Phobos always keeps the same side facing its host planet like Earth’s Moon, making it a key comparative target for studying the coevolution of planet–satellite systems.
