With the Phobos mission rocket in a stable orbit near Phobos (upper right), the command module departs so that it may approach to within a few hundred yards of the martin moon. Below on Mars can be seen Meridiani Planum where NASA's Opportunity rover landed in 2004, while it's sunset over Ganges and Eos chasmata.
