The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken some hig-res photos of Phobos. Phobos is one of two martian moons.Some people have proposed that the first human missions to Mars land on Phobos to avoid the added complexity of landing on Mars and then launching again from the bottom of Mars' gravity well. The gravity on Phobos is only 1/1000th the gravity of Earth.
