We have successfully planted a Mining outpost on the surface of Mars’ biggest moon, Phobos. This small robotic mining platform will help us find out what lurks under the surface of these asteroids.

I had trouble with landing on deimos for the first time because every time I turned with RCS on I ended up on either a collision course or escape trajectory. I just couldn't get into stable orbit.

It's easier to throttle down a small main engine and use capsule torque than to move around ultra low g areas like that with RCS
