Sun incidence angle distribution of a 3D-QSO with z =  ± 30 km and β = − 5° and b 3D-QSO with z =  ± 30 km and β = 21°. In a both poles can be observed with high Sun incidence angles, while in b Sun incidence is lower on North pole but most of south pole cannot be observed. c Geometric (spatial) resolution distribution of 3D-QSO with z =  ± 20 km and β = 21°. Percentage of surface covered at resolution better than 100 m is 58% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 90% for all areas, at resolution better than 40 m is 47% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 83% for all areas, at resolution better than 30 m is 43% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 79% for all areas, at resolution better than 20 m is 32% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 69% for all areas, and at resolution better than 10 m is 4% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 23% for all areas. d Geometric (spatial) resolution distribution of 3D-QSO wit z =  ± 30 km and β = 21°. Percentage of surface covered at resolution better than 100 m is 52% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 86% for all areas, at resolution better than 40 m is 31% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 69% for all areas, at resolution better than 30 m is 21% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 54% for all areas, at resolution better than 20 m is 6% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 24% for all areas, and at resolution better than 10 m is 0% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 0% for all areas. Areas in white cannot be observed because of spacecraft equatorial trajectory and Phobos flat shape on South pole. Areas with resolution above 200 m are not displayed
