Summary
| Description |
English: Phobos fly-by orbital characteristics animation. NASA’s Mars Odyssey (MO) and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) are in a low orbit around Mars.
In observing Phobos, Mars Express benefits from its highly elliptical orbit which takes it from a closest distance of 270 km from the planet to a maximum of 10,000 km, crossing the 9000 km orbit of the moon. Mars Express imaged the far-side of Phobos (with respect to Mars) for the first time by flying outside the spacecraft’s orbit around Mars. |

Čeština: Animace průběhu letu planetární sondy agentury ESA, Mars Express, vzhedem k Marsovu měsíci Phobos. Sonda díky své vysoké eliptické oběžné dráze provedla první snímkování odvrácené strany Phobu (vzhledem k Marsu). Sondy NASA - Mars Odyssey (MO) a Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) jsou v tomto ohledu na příliš nízké oběžné dráze. English: Animation of Mars Express's fly-by of Phobos.
