Abstract:An accurate gravity field model of Deimos can provide constraints for its internal structure modeling, and offer evidence for explaining scientific issues such as the origin of Mars and its moons, and the evolution of the Solar System. The Japanese Martian Moon Exploration (MMX) mission will be launched in the coming years, with a plan to reach Martian orbit after 1 year. However, there is a lack of executed missions targeting Deimos and research on high-precision gravity field of Deimos at this stage. In this… Show more
