| It happens that Mars has two moons, named Phobos and Deimos, which are captured asteroids orbiting very close to that planet. |
| Phobos 2 returns a number of interesting images of the Martian moon during its two months in orbit. |
| Optech Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, will lead a team to develop a mission concept to explore Phobos, one of Mars' two moons. |
| There is strong evidence that they are associated with the formation of the largest crater on Phobos. |
| Its two satellites, Phobos and Deimos, are only several kilometres across and appear to be captured asteroids. |
| 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. |
