The Red Planet and its tiny moon Deimos were recorded at a very near distance as the asteroid-chasing spacecraft completed a ...

Hera spacecraft captured an extraordinary near-infrared image of Mars’ moon Deimos during a flyby of the Red Planet. This marks the first use of Hera’s science instruments, providing a detailed view ...

Martian moon Deimos seen crossing the face of Mars in this sequence of Thermal Infrared Imager images acquired during the Hera mission's gravity-assist flyby of Mars on March 12, 2025.

Deimos is the smaller and less photographed of Mars’ moons. This egg-shaped object, only measuring about 7.7 miles in diameter (12.4 kilometers), is tidally-locked with the Red Planet making it often ...

The results of Hera's flyby could ultimately tell us whether Deimos is a captured asteroid or made from debris from a giant impact on Mars. Europe's Hera mission, on its way to the Didymos ...

ISAE-SUPAERO is actively collaborating in the international Hera probe program through the research work of Naomi Murdoch and the SSPA team. The probe, which is en route to study the asteroid ...

The spacecraft captured the Red Planet and its enigmatic moons, Deimos and Phobos, marking its first deep-space imaging ...

The Hera mission spacecraft captured views of the moon's far side, swinging within 625 miles of Deimos in space. While the car-sized spacecraft flew around the Mars system, flight controllers on ...

While on a flyby of Mars, Hera was able to use three of its imaging instruments to capture images of Deimos, the smaller of Mars' two moons, the ESA said. Deimos is about 15,000 miles from Mars.
