Abstract

The main goal of the “Phobos-Grunt” spacecraft mission is the Phobos soil sample delivery to the Earth, and also the larger Mars moon study using a set of scientific equipments installed on the spacecraft board. One of the tasks for successful flight, especially a soft landing is correctly preselected a flat enough landing area with precise coordinates. There are described the main cartographic problems demand new high resolution images and enough ground control points.
