During a series of flybys, spanning six weeks, all seven instruments onboard Mars Express will be utilised to study Phobos. The close approach provides a first opportunity to perform a unique gravity experiment that may reveal the distribution of mass within this intriguing moon. ESA's Mars Express spacecraft orbits the Red Planet in a highly elliptical, polar orbit that brings it close ... read more |
