Hypotheses for the origin of Phobos and Deimos are discussed. A scenario is presented of the capture of Phobos and Deimos as a result of an explosion of a large icy C-asteroid saturated by the products of electrolysis, and the consequences of this process are addressed. An explanation is offered for the origin of the grooves on Phobos and for the differences in the general structures of Phobos and Deimos based on the Stickney event initiating the burning of electrolysis products contained in Phobos's ices. It is shown that Phobos's regolith could have been lost during the rapid acceleration of the satellite only if the material from the Stickney crater was ejected primarily due to the detonation initiated by the impact.
