	NASA's Solar System Exploration: Planets: Mars: Moons: Phobos
		Phobos, named after a messenger of the Roman god of war, is the larger of Mars' two moons and 27 by 22 by 18 km in diameter.
		Phobos is nearing Mars at a rate of 1.8 meters every hundred years; at that rate, it will either crash into Mars in 50 million years or break up into a ring.
		Phobos and Deimos appears to be composed of C-type rock, similar to flish carbonaceous chondrite asteroids.

	Phobos program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Phobos program was an unmanned space mission consisting of two probes launched by the Soviet Union to study Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos.
		Phobos 1 and 2 were of a new spacecraft design, succeeding the type used in the Venera planetary missions of 1975-1985, last used during the Vega 1 and Vega 2 missions to comet Halley.
		The Phobos 2 infrared spectrometer(ISM) obtained 30 000 spectra in the near infrared (from 0.75 to 3.2 µm) in the equatorial areas of Mars, with a spatial resolution ranging from 7 to 25 km, and 400 spectra of Phobos at 700 m resolution.

	Phobos 1 & 2 to Mars
		Phobos 1, and its companion spacecraft Phobos 2, were the next-generation in the Venera-type planetary missions, succeeding those last used during the Vega 1 and 2 missions to comet P/Halley.
		Phobos 2 operated nominally throughout its cruise and Mars orbital insertion phases, gathering data on the Sun, interplanetary medium, Mars, and Phobos.
		This image was taken by the VSK instrument on the USSR Phobos 2 spacecraft in March of 1989 shortly before the spacecraft failed.

	MarsNews.com :: Phobos 2
		The Russian people and their space scientists have seemingly always been fascinated with Mars's larger moon Phobos, which is a captured asteroid, and fascinate at the prospect of building a manned base on the moon at some point in the future.
		Phobos 2 operated normally during its cruise phase, travelling the millions of miles from the Earth to Mars with no mechnical problems.
		According to her, the photo clearly shows a UFO hovering near the moon Phobos, and is "the first ever leaked accounts of an alien mothership in the solar system".

		Phobos 2 was also ultimately lost in the most intriguing circumstances, but not before it had beamed back certain images and information from the planet Mars itself.
		The 'anomaly' seen in the Phobos 2 transmission was a thin ellipse with very sharp rather than rounded points (the shape is known in the diamond trade as a "marquise") and the edges, rather than being fuzzy, stood out sharply against a kind of halo on the Martian surface.
		The last transmission from Phobos 2 was a photograph of a gigantic cylindrical spaceship - a huge, apporx, 20km long, 1.5km diameter cigar-shaped 'mothership', that was photographed on 25 March 1989 hanging or parked next to the Martian moon Phobos by the Soviet unmanned sonde Phobos 2.

		PHOBOS [1] is an approved experiment, one of four to be ready to run at the turn-on of the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
		The PHOBOS multiplicity detector measurements are also based on energy deposition and therefore rely on knowledge of the underlying momentum distribution for calibration.
		PHOBOS is one of four detectors that will have the first look at the extreme energy densities that will be created when gold nuclei collide at RHIC.

	Mission to Mars
		In the years prior to the launch of Phobos 1 and 2, the Soviet Union had initiated an ambitious Mars program with a goal of sending a manned mission to the Red Planet by the early 21st century.
		Phobos 2 had a second lander that was designed to "hop" across the surface to gather data from several locations.
		Phobos 2 went into orbit around Mars and was able to study the planet and its moon for two months, but never had a chance to release its two landers.

	Fobos 1F
		The 1F spacecraft was flown on the Phobos mission to Mars, consisting of 2 nearly identical spacecraft.
		Phobos 2 also carried a second, smaller "hopper" lander designed to land on Phobos and then use its spring loaded legs to move ("hop") about the moon's surface to make chemical, magnetic and gravity observations at different locations.
		Shortly before the final phase of the mission, during which the spacecraft was to approach within 50 m of Phobos' surface and release two landers, one a mobile 'hopper', the other a stationary platform, contact with Phobos 2 was lost.

	Patrick Phobos Mysteries pages: the Phobos probes failures.
		Phobos 1 was lost in the summer of 1988 when a technician apparently threw a wrong switch and simply shut the probe down.
		Exploration of Phobos -- known as "the moon of mars" -- is a critical part of that program, since the satellite possibly would be used as a launching platform for the final, manned flight to the red planet.
		In the Soviet Union, he says, the people now might perceive the program as being too expensive, as do many people in the U.S. He is quick to add, however, that the space programs of both countries probably have more unspoken popular support than political leaders on both sides have perceived.

	Phobos Expedition 88
		Human Expedition to Phobos was one of four in-depth NASA case studies in 1988 in response to a perceived imminent Soviet manned Mars program.
		The mission scenario employed a "split/sprint" trajectory: a cargo vehicle carrying the Phobos and Deimos exploration equipment, Mars rovers, and the crew's return propellant would be launched via an expendable escape stage on a minimum-energy trajectory in February 2001.
		The Phobos mission was potentially the earliest to arrive of the four case studies.

	Final Gallery
		Phobos and Deimos are the sons of Ares (Mars) and Aphrodite (Venus); “phobos” and “deimos”; are Greed for “fear” and “panic” – fitting names for the sons of the god of war.
		Phobos, already inside the “Roche limit” where internal gravity alone is too weak to hold it together, could conceivably become a ring plane around Mars within the next 50 million years.
		In contrast to the smooth appearance of Deimos, the surface of Phobos is covered in sharp, fresh-looking craters of all sizes.

	The Space Review: Going (almost) all the way to Mars
		Phobos and Deimos, unlike the Moon, are not seen as being in the critical path to Mars.
		Phobos is so close to Mars that it is gradually spiraling in, and will crash into the planet in about 45 million years.
		Phobos also allows an opportunity to advance the science of small bodies, and may harbor water ice deposits that could be used as a resource.

	Martian moon Phobos hip-deep in powder
		New temperature measurements show the surface must be composed largely of finely ground powder at least one meter (three feet) thick, according to scientists studying infrared data from the thermal emission spectrometer instrument on the spacecraft.
		A 10-kilometer-diameter (six-mile) crater called Stickney, which is almost half the size of Phobos itself, shows light and dark streaks trailing down the slopes of the bowl, illustrating that even with a gravity field only about 1/1000th that of the Earth's, debris still tumbles downhill.
		Infrared measurements of Phobos were made on August 7, 19 and 31 from distances ranging between 1,045-1,435 kilometers (648-890 miles), far enough away to capture global views of the Martian moon in a single spectrum.

		The objective of Phobos on the Cheap is to conceal as much of the funding for an eventual manned Mars mission in other programs and objectives as possible, accidentally leaving us with a usable and affordable manned Mars program that has largely avoided exposure to the political process.
		Instead, we send a manned base to the surface of Phobos, the inner moon of Mars, where the base modules are buried slightly in natural or explosively excavated holes for radiation shielding and the first crews are tasked to remotely operate rovers on the Martian surface.
		As the first Phobos crew arrives on station and begin to teleoperate Mars surface rovers, the second crew is launched and depart from Earth.

		In those cases, what was seen were shadows of the moonlet Phobos, stretched by being projected at a low angle to the Martian surface.
		So the roundish shadow of Phobos was on Mars's surface, within the field of view of the scanner, when the scanner was looking "down sun" at Mars.
		Selivanov explained that if the probe had been rock steady, the Phobos shadow would have left a dark streak right through the entire center of each image, as the image was assembled line-by-line over the course of each orbit.
