Scientific paper

The Soviet Phobos program, whose Phobos 2 Mars probe began orbiting that planet on January 29, 1989, is the first mission to require a novel space vehicle configuration whose lower, jettisonable propulsion module resembles that of the luna designs. Phobos 2 will spend one month imaging the moon for which it is named against the stellar background, as it circles Mars every 8 hours; this will furnish navigation data for the final atmospheric entry and 'glide-by' over the planet's surface in April-May, 1989. A 'hopper' landing unit will then be ejected for touchdown with a separate sensor package.
