Summary

[edit]
Description

This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, is one of the highest-resolution pictures so far of the Martian moon Phobos. Mars Express made several close flybys of Phobos in 2008, passing within 100 km of the surface and conducting some of the most detailed investigations of the moon to date.

Mars Express has flown close to Phobos before, but this is the first time that the spacecraft came within 100 km of the moon. The image shows the far side of the moon, with respect to Mars, taken from a distance of 97 km on 23 July 2008.

Launched on 2 June 2003, Mars Express was the first fully European mission to any planet. It is an exciting challenge for European technology and is playing a key role in an international exploration programme spanning two decades.
