| It happens that Mars has two moons, named Phobos and Deimos, which are captured asteroids orbiting very close to that planet. |
|
| Their Phobos-Grunt mission will be the first to land on this strange moon, and, with luck, it will return to Earth with samples of Phobos. |
|
| Phobos-Grunt, Russian spacecraft that was designed to land on the Martian moon Phobos and bring some of its soil back to Earth. |
|
| There is strong evidence that they are associated with the formation of the largest crater on Phobos. |
|
| One of the most striking features on the 27-km wide, irregularly-shaped Phobos is the presence of grooves over most of its surface. |
|
| Phobos 2 returns a number of interesting images of the Martian moon during its two months in orbit. |
|
| Mars's two moons, Phobos and Deimos, are believed to be asteroids themselves that were captured by the Martian gravity. |
|
| Its two satellites, Phobos and Deimos, are only several kilometres across and appear to be captured asteroids. |
|
| Optech Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, will lead a team to develop a mission concept to explore Phobos, one of Mars' two moons. |
|
| On the ESA website you can find the latest results of the research on the Mars moon Phobos. |
|
| For Phobos and Deimos we felt we needed a producer that would fit the sound and the production according to what the material needed. |
|
| Some small moons orbiting Jupiter, as well as Phobos and Deimos, may have originally been asteroids captured into orbit by the gravity of Mars and Jupiter. |
|
| From a technical standpoint, a mission to Phobos requires minimal delta-v, because of its small mass and the ability to use aerobraking in the Martian atmosphere. |
|
| Later, the robot field geologist then took about a dozen images of the Sun to catch the eclipse by the Martian moon, Phobos before shutting down again for a little nap. |
|
| Meteorites and asteroids, like Deimos and Phobos, are witnesses of the Universe's birth. |
|
| Phobos and Deimos are still largely unexplored despite many unanswered questions about their origin, composition, and structure. |
|
| Mid-journey, the guidance computer of Phobos 1 experiences problems interpreting commands which results in a depletion of the spacecraft's power reserve. |
|
| Incidentally, Falconer's brother Henry Madan had, in 1878, suggested the names Phobos and Deimos for the moons of Mars. |
|
| If life on Mars exists or existed within the last 10 million years, a mission to Phobos could yield our first evidence of life beyond Earth. |
|
| Last November, Russia launched the Phobos-Grunt spacecraft to explore Phobos, one of Mars's two moons. |
|
|
|
| Soviet probes Phobos 1 and 2 are developed to study Phobos, one of the Martian moons, which may be an asteroid captured by the planet's gravity field. |
|
| It was a tricky shoot as Phobos and its sister moon, Deimos, are closer to Mars than our Moon is to Earth, so they shoot across the sky relatively quickly. |
|
| Roscosmos predicts that only between 20 and 30 fragments of the Phobos probe with a total weight of up to 200 kilograms will survive the re-entry and plummet to Earth. |
|
| A Tocophobia comes from tocos meaning childbirth and phobos meaning fear. |
