The results of Hera's flyby could ultimately tell us whether Deimos is a captured asteroid or made from debris from a giant ...

A space probe named Hera captured images of Mars' small Deimos moon while on a mission to examine an asteroid.

The European Space Agency (ESA) fires up three of the instruments on the Hera spacecraft and takes images of the smaller ...

The Hera probe has swung around Mars, using the planet’s gravitational pull to fling itself toward its asteroid target.

Mars has two moons, named Phobos and Deimos, but because Phobos is closer to Mars, it has been previously imaged by other spacecraft. "For Deimos, we don't have as many images as Phobos ...

A space probe named Hera captured images of Mars' small Deimos moon while on a mission to examine an asteroid.

That mission, in conjunction with NASA and French and German space agencies, will collect detailed measurements of Mars' two moons and land on Phobos, the larger lunar body, to collect a sample ...

Hera spacecraft captured an extraordinary near-infrared image of Mars’ moon Deimos during a flyby of the Red Planet. This ...

ESA's Hera spacecraft for planetary defense performs a flyby of Mars. The gravity of the red planet shifts the spacecraft's trajectory towards the Didymos binary asteroid system, shortening its trip ...
