This colour image was calculated from the three colour channels and the nadir channel on the HRSC. Due to geometric reasons the scale bar is only valid for the centre of the image.


 
These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, are Europe’s highest-resolution pictures so far of the Martian moon Phobos.

The image collection shows Phobos in different orientations as seen from orbits 748, 413, 649, 682 and 715 (from clockwise from lower left), while the picture on the lower right is a mosaic made from the Super Resolution Channel on orbit 413.

The images have been derived from the HRSC nadir (vertical view) channel (except the mosaic from the HRSC Super Resolution Channel).


 
This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, is one of the highest-resolution pictures so far of the Martian moon Phobos.

The image shows the Mars-facing side of the moon, taken from a distance of less than 200 kilometres with a resolution of about seven metres per pixel during orbit 756, on 22 August 2004.

This 3D anaglyph image was generated from a combination of the nadir (vertical view) and blue channels of the HRSC. Due to geometric reasons the scale bar is only valid for the centre of the image.
