Scientific paper

The soviet mission to Phobos and Mars was launched in July, 1988. It carries some 30 experiments on board, designed on a broad international basis, devoted to studying the planet Mars and its vicinity, its natural satellite Phobos, the sun and the interplanetary medium. France, through its laboratories (participating in a number of experiments) and the CNES Space Center at Toulouse (participating in the Phobos spacecraft navigation operations), is the main partner of the Soviet Union in the Phobos mission. Different experiments on the spacecraft are described (ISM, Auguste, IPHIR, PWS, LILAS and Apex, and the active DION and LIMA-D experiments) as well as the French participation in the long-term automated lander DAS (cameras, Stenopee). The first scientific results are presented. The CNES contributions to the international cooperation for Phobos navigation are also described (methods and results).
