		Phobos orbits below the synchronous orbit radius, or the radius at which a satelliteâs orbital period is equal to the rotational period of the planet.
		Phobos and Deimos certainly add to the overall charm of the red planet, and, for that reason alone, help NASA and aerospace engineers worldwide gain support for their goals in Mars missions.

	Mars and Phobos
		Phobos may be an asteroid long ago captured by Mars' gravity, orbiting a mere 5,800 miles above Mars' surface, making it the closest satellite to its host planet in the Solar System.
		Phobos' orbit is so low that it completes one revolution in less than eight hours, easily outpacing by threefold Mars' rotation period of 24 hours, 40 minutes.
		The resulting tidal forces are causing Phobos' altitude to decay at the relatively rapid rate of 6 feet per century; in about 50 million years Phobos will either crash into the martian surface, or be torn apart by Mars' gravity.
