2010 Workshop ||  2011 Workshop

Results of the Workshop 29. March to 01. April 2010


The team spent much time discussing possible science requirements for the Phobos Grunt missions as well as a list of things to be accomplished with existing data before the launch of Phobos Grunt. A table was established containing names of key persons and teams who could accomplish these tasks.      [PhobosScienceRequirements.pdf]

During this workshop the team also discussed the preparation of a Phobos book. Team members agreed to a prelimary table of contens. [PhobosBookChapters.pdf]
