Embark on an interplanetary journey with us as we explore the mysterious moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos! From their unusual ...

Deimos is tidally locked with Mars, meaning the same side always faces the planet, so probes near Mars see only one side of the small moon, too — that is, until Hope arrived on the scene.

Differences between the near and far side of Deimos have yet to be analyzed. Hope will continue its mission into 2024, observing Deimos throughout 2023 alongside its ongoing Mars observations.

And Deimos isn’t made of the right stuff to be a D-type asteroid. In fact, its composition is startlingly similar to Mars itself, with all the right amounts of carbon and organic molecules.

Mars has been a hotbed for space exploration over the past several decades. However, just recently we got our closest look at the Martian moons Deimos and Phobos in images captured by the Emirates ...

24 April 2023 First up-close images of Mars’s little-known moon Deimos Images from the UAE’s Hope mission suggest that the moonlet’s composition is similar to that of the red planet’s surface.

The asteroid-like Deimos may have come from planet Mars, according to new data from an Emirati spacecraft. But the debate over the moon's origin story is not over yet.

Phobos and Deimos are orbiting on the Martian equatorial plane with very circular orbits. They are very small satellites and their masses are less than 10-7 of Mars mass.

The images presented show Deimos set against a backdrop of the Red Planet below it as Hera flew within 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) of Mars and just 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) of Deimos.
