A review of Phobos surface features

Heather D Smith, KIPR NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, United States
Abstract:
For this research we review the morphology and distribution of craters on Phobos. We describe crater characteristics and ejecta features of the differentiated layers resulting from low- velocity impacts. We compare spacecraft imagery as a technique to determine changes in surface features on Phobos.
