Abstract

Scientific results in the area of celestial mechanics obtained during the control process of the Phobos 2 spacecraft flight are presented. A brief description of the space flight profile is given and the orbit parameters are provided. The bases of the navigation support are discussed and it is noted that both the navigation support and the experiment combined the efforts of Glavcosmos, Intercosmos, NASA, CNES, ESOC, and the leading specialists in celestial mechanics and astrometry from different scientific institutions of many countries. A new theory is presented which describes the motion of Martian moons and the determination of the Phobos gravitational constant.
