I'm very embarrassed to have forgotten to mention Phobos 2. Yes, it did give some very useful images. In particular it greatly increased the low phase coverage available for Phobos, allowing albedo and/or photometric variations to be mapped over much larger areas than Viking alone provided... plus spectral variations. I really hope Phobos-Grunt is successful. At least they have finally managed to get funding for it after years of trying.
