Abstract

The paper contains the data on the thermal and physical characteristic of the surface regolith of the Martian satellite Phobos obtained from the spaceborne remote sensing (with the Mariner 9, Viking, and Mars Global Surveyor orbiters and the Phobos-2 spacecraft) and the results of the numerical modeling of the thermal regime in the surface regolith (on diurnal and seasonal scales) performed for the prospective landing site in the Lagado Planitia region located in the anti-Martian hemisphere of Phobos.
