Views of Deimos
Mosaic of Deimos
Measuring 16 by 12 km (10 by 7.5 mi) Deimos circles Mars every 30 hours. Craters of
varying age dot its surface, which is somewhat smoother than the surface of Phobos.

Topographic Map of
Deimos
This is a topographic map of Deimos. It is based upon the shape model of Phil Stooke. As
with all maps, it is the cartographer's interpretation; not all features are necessarily
certain given the limited data available. This interpretation stretches the data as far as
possible.
Map of Deimos
This image is a photomosaic of Deimos, the outer satellite of Mars. The leading side faces
forwards in the orbit of Deimos. The trailing side faces backwards along the orbit.
Longitude 0 is at the blunter end with the most prominent craters, and faces Mars. As with
all conformal (true shape) projections, the scale in these maps varies, increasing from
the centre to the outer edge.
