    Geodesy and cartography of the Martian satellites (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The difficulties connected with conventional maps of Phobos and Deimos are largely overcome by producing maps in digital forms, i.e., by projecting Viking Orbiter images onto a global topographic model made from collections of radii derived by photogrammetry. The resulting digital mosaics are then formatted as arrays of body-centered latitudes, longitudes, radii, and brightness values of Viking Orbiter images. The Phobos mapping described was done with Viking Orbiter data. Significant new coverage was obtained by the Soviet Phobos mission. The mapping of Deimos is in progress, using the techniques developed for Phobos.

    Results of TV imaging of Phobos - Experiment VSK-Fregat (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: From February to March 1989 the Phobos 2 spacecraft took 37 TV images of Phobos at a distance of 190-1100 km. These images complement Mariner-9 and Viking data by providing higher-resolution coverage of a laarge region west of the crater Stickney (40-160 deg W) and by providing disk-resolved measurements of surface brightness at a greater range of wavelengths and additional phase angles. These images have supported updated mapping and characterization of large craters and grooves, and have provided additional observations of craters' and grooves' bright rims. Variations in surface visible/near-infrared color ratio of almost a factor of 2 have been recognized; these variations appear to be associated with the ejecta of specific large impact craters. Updated determinations of satellite mass and volume allow calculation of a more accurate value of bulk density, 1.90 + or - 0.1 g/cu cm. This is sigificantly lower than the density of meteoritic analogs to Phobos' surface, suggesting a porous interior perhaps containing interstitial ice.

    Phobos - Spectrophotometry between 0.3 and 0.6 micron and IR-radiometry (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A 0.3 - 0.6 micron UV-visible spectrophotometer and a 5 - 50 micron radiometer in the KRFM experiment on Phobos 2 measured two groundtracks in the equatorial region of Phobos. Preliminary results indicate that three surface units can be recognized on the basis of differing UV-visible spectral reflectance properties. One of the units is most comparable spectrally to optically darkened mafic material, and a second is comparable either to anhydrous carbonaceous chondrite or to blackened mafic material. Spectral properties of the third unit do not resemble those of known meteorite types. Brightness temperatures measured by the radiometer are consistent with a typical surface thermal inertia of 1 - 3 x 10 to the -3 cal/(sq cm deg s exp 1/2), as suggested by previous investigations, implying a lunar-like regolith texture. At least one area of possibly higher thermal inertia has been tentatively identified, where a large degraded crater is crossed by several grooves. These results indicate significant lateral heterogeneity in the optical and textural properties of Phobos' surface.

    TV observations of Phobos - First results (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: From February to March, 1989, Phobos-2 acquired 37 TV images of Phobos at distances from 200 to 1100 km. These images will be used to update the figure model and topographic and geological maps of Phobos, its spectral characteristics and scattering law, the surface composition and texture, and the parameters of the orbital motion and forced libration.

    Physical properties of the regolith of Phobos (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Results of two experiments performed onboard the Phobos spacecraft are presented: spectrophotometry in the 300-600 nm range and thermal radiometry, i.e., intrinsic thermal emission in the 6-50 micron range. The thermophysical characteristics of the Phobos regolith are indicated by a thermal inertia coefficient which is similar to that of the moon. The reflectivity of the regolith is inhomogeneous in the region investigated and depends mostly on the relief features, primarily craters and their age. The expected similarity of the reflection spectra with those of carbonacenous chondrites was not confirmed.

    Television observations of Phobos (1989)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: In February and March 1989 the Phobos 2 spacecraft took 37 television images of Phobos from a distance of 190-1100 km. The data are being used to update the three-dimensional model of Phobos, to provide improved determinations of its density and orbital dynamics, and to study its surface color, composition, and texture. Preliminary findings are presented here which include different integrated photometric behavior in visible and near-infrared bands, observation of a region immediately west of Stickney which is relatively free of large grooves, the prevalence of bright rims on grooves and younger craters, and low bulk density.

    Viking first encounter of Phobos - Preliminary results (1978)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Viking Orbiter-1 (VO-1) made a series of close flybys of the Martian satellite Phobos in February and May 1977. A description is presented of the results obtained during the flybys in February. The flyby geometries for the encounter period in February are shown in a graph. The trajectory design gave flybys on the illuminated side of Phobos within 80 to 300 km during the entire encounter period. The primary encounter observations of Phobos included visual and infrared imaging as well as radio tracking of VO-1 while it was under the gravitational influence of Phobos. Visual imaging was obtained from two narrow-angle television cameras. Infrared observations were obtained from an infrared thermal mapper. Radio data included S- and X-band Doppler and ranging data to VO-1 with a 10-second Doppler count. Assuming for Phobos a volume of 500 + or - 900 cu km, a mean density of 1.9 + or - 0.6 g/cu cm is obtained for it on the basis of the processed data.

    The puzzling moons of Mars (1978)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: Viking Orbiter observations of Phobos and Deimos are presented with attention to physical dimension and surface features. Both satellites are approximately 1.4 times as long as they are wide; Phobos having a length of 27 km, while Deimos is half that size. In addition, both satellites are tidally locked, as is earth's moon, and are held together by cohesive forces as well as by gravity. Phobos and Deimos are both heavily cratered, and Phobos has deep (30 m) grooves in the vicinity of its largest crater, Stickney; indicating surface fracturing under meteorite impact. The craters on Deimos are largely filled with a fine-grained substance, probably crater ejecta.

    The Clementine mission: Initial results from lunar mapping (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Clementine was a mission designed to test the space worthiness of a variety of advanced sensors for use on military surveillance satellites while, at the same time, gathering useful scientific information on the composition and structure of the Moon and a near Earth asteroid. Clementine was dispatched for an extended stay in the vicinity of Earth's Moon on 25 Jan. 1994 and arrived at the Moon on 20 Feb. 1994. The spacecraft started systematic mapping on 26 Feb., completed mapping on 22 Apr., and left lunar orbit on 3 May. The entire Clementine project, from conception through end of mission, lasted approximately three years. Topographic profiles derived from lidar laser altimetry permitted construction of a global topographic map of the Moon. Clementine also aimed at mapping the color of the Moon in eleven different wavelengths in the visible and near infrared parts of the system. With rock and soil samples of known geological context available from the Apollo and Lunar programs, the Clementine mission offers the data needed to construct a global digital image model of the Moon.
