Phobos 2 VSK image of the Martian Moon Phobos Target Name:   Phobos Spacecraft:   Phobos 2 Produced by:   Ted Stryk Date Released:  12 May 2001 Related Document Mars' Moon Phobos Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size phobos7.jpg JPEG 360 x 360 6K phobos7.tif TIFF 360 x 360 35K This image was taken by the VSK instrument on the USSR Phobos 2 spacecraft in March of 1989 shortly before the spacecraft failed. It is made from blue and red images superimposed on a broadband high resolution image. The color is as true as can be with no real green image, although color variations are exagerated. From the VSK data, this is perhaps the prettiest color picture.
