==Spacecraft design== ===Instruments=== The ''Phobos 2'' [[Thermal infrared spectroscopy|infrared spectrometer]] (ISM) obtained 45000 spectra in the near infrared (from {{val|0.75|to|3.2|u=um}}) in the equatorial areas of Mars, with a spatial resolution ranging from {{val|7|to|25|u=km}}, and 400 spectra of Phobos at 700 m resolution. These observations made it possible to generate the first mineralogical maps of the planet and its satellite, and to study the atmosphere of Mars. ISM was developed at [[Institut aéronautique et spatial|IAS]] and [[DESPA]] ([[Paris Observatory]]) with support from [[CNES]]. List of instruments: * "VSK" TV imaging system * PROP-F "hopping" lander. **ARS-FP automatic X-ray fluorescence spectrometer **ferroprobe [[magnetometer]] **Kappameter magnetic permeability / susceptibility sensor **gravimeter **temperature sensors **BISIN conductometer / tiltmeter **mechanical sensors (penetrometer, UIU accelerometer, sensors on hopping mechanism) *"DAS" (long-lived autonomous station) lander **TV camera **ALPHA-X Alpha-Proton-X-Ray Spectrometer **LIBRATION [[Sun sensor]] (also known as STENOPEE) **Seismometer **RAZREZ anchor penetrometer **Celestial mechanics experiment * "ISM" thermal infrared spectrometer/radiometer - {{val|1|2|u=km}} resolution * near-infrared imaging spectrometer * thermal imaging camera; magnetometers * gamma-ray spectrometers * X-ray telescope * radiation detectors * radar and laser altimeters * Lima-D laser experiment - designed to vaporize material from the Phobos surface for chemical analysis by a mass spectrometer * Automatic Space Plasma Experiment with Rotating Analyzer (ASPERA), an electron spectrometer and ion mass analyzer from the [[Swedish Institute of Space Physics]].
