On 23 July 2008 the DLR-operated High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard the ESA spacecraft Mars Express took its highest-resolution image yet of the surface of the moon Phobos. The image data were taken from a distance of 97 km with a spatial resolution of about 3.7 metres/ pixel in orbit 5851. These images have surpassed all previous images from other missions in continuous coverage of the illuminated surface, at a highest spatial resolution of 3.7 metres / pixel.
