==Systems and sensors== Phobos probes carried several instruments: solar [[x-ray]] and [[ultraviolet]] telescopes, a [[neutron spectrometer]] and the Grunt radar experiment designed to study the surface relief of Phobos. The lander had an [[APXS|x-ray/alpha spectrometer]] to provide information on the chemical element composition of the surface of Phobos, a [[seismometer]] to determine the internal structure of Phobos, and the "[[Razrez]]" penetrator with temperature sensors and an [[accelerometer]] for testing the physical and mechanical properties of the surface. The Phobos 2 [[Thermal infrared spectroscopy|infrared spectrometer]] (ISM) obtained 45000 spectra in the near infrared (from 0.75 to 3.2 μm) in the equatorial areas of Mars, with a spatial resolution ranging from 7 to 25 km, and 400 spectra of Phobos at 700 m resolution. These observations made it possible to retrieve 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]].<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.ias.u-psud.fr/ism/DRV_DATA/HTML/ISM/WELCOME.HTM|title = Instrument ISM}}</ref> List of instruments: * "VSK" TV imaging system<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu/holdings/phb2-m-vsk-2-edr-v1.0/dataset.shtml|title = PDS-SBN: Phobos 2 Mars/Phobos/Jupiter VSK-Fregat Images}}</ref> * PROP-F "hopping" lander.
