a Coverage and geometric resolution of MIRS mapping from QSO-M in Nov. 2025 (β = 3°). Areas in white cannot be observed because of MMX equatorial trajectory and Phobos flat shape on the poles. Areas with resolution above 200 m are not displayed. Note that the map was calculated without considering the masking of facets by local topology. Percentage of surface covered at resolution better than 100 m is 99% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 85% for all areas, at resolution better than 40 m is 94% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 64% for all areas, at resolution better than 30 m is 78% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 49% for all areas, at resolution better than 20 m is 38% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 22% for all areas, and at resolution better than 10 m is 0% for areas within ± 30° latitudes and 0% for all areas. b Percentage of Phobos surface covered in function of phase and sun incidence angles by observation in a
