The new software [...] includes a series of upgrades that improve signal reception and on-board data processing to increase the amount and quality of science data sent to Earth [...] “By discarding data that we don’t need [on-board], the new software allows us to switch MARSIS on for five times as long and explore a much larger area with each pass.”

Finally, about a month after the event, ESA's PR people take notice of the latest close Mars Express flyby of Phobos.

Thanks Bobik for this nice info smile.gif
Well... They did not "take notice". Please, be so kind to note that radar data interpretation is difficult, and especially after some changes were made in softwares.
Remember that observations of Ganymede made by Juno came out at least 6 months after they were made.
So, we should be happy with the time schedule of this press release smile.gif
