MRO will take pictures on Phobos (big and closer) and Deimos (small and farther)during its approach to Mars.
"To help future missions in the Mars Exploration Program, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will carry an optical navigation camera. From 30 days to 2 days prior to Mars Orbit Insertion, the spacecraft will collect a series of images of Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos. By comparing the observed position of the moons to their predicted positions, relative to the background stars, the mission team will accurately determine the position of the orbiter in relation to Mars." The probably date of picture is between February 6 to March 8, 2006. Optical Navigation Camera Rodolfo |
