Mars, European Space Agency and Hera

Tiny Mars moon Deimos gets a rare close-up, thanks to Europe's Hera asteroid probe (photos)
The results of Hera's fly-by could ultimately tell us whether Deimos is a captured asteroid or made from debris from a giant impact on Mars.
Hera Asteroid Probe Spots Mysterious Martian Moon During Flyby
The Hera probe has swung around Mars, using the planet’s gravitational pull to fling itself toward its asteroid target. During its brief rendezvous with the Red Planet, Hera caught a glimpse of the less-seen side of Mars’ smaller, tidally-locked moon as it orbited its home planet.

ESA uses advanced imaging to capture Deimos during Hera mission’s Mars flyby
By flattening the traditionally curved lens, the engineers have eliminated bulk while maintaining image quality, making an optical solution that's more suitable for space-based imaging.
Swiss-backed ‘Hera’ asteroid mission hits key milestone with Mars flyby
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), the Red Planet’s gravity will tweak the probe’s path, cutting months off the journey and saving a lot of fuel.
