The Hope probe, also known as the Emirates Mars Mission, has been orbiting Mars since February 9, 2021. Its primary mission is to study the Martian atmosphere and climate, with a particular focus on understanding the planet\u2019s weather patterns and climate changes. Occasionally, the Hope team will use the spacecraft\u2019s high-resolution camera, called the Emirates eXploration Imager (EXI), to snap images of the planet\u2019s moons from orbit.<\/p>\n

In the newly released images from the Hope probe\u2019s EXI camera, a large indented area is seen on Deimos\u2019s far side \u2013 the part of the moon that faces away from Mars and is largely uncharted. This is joined by a few pocketed areas of craters of varying sizes. <\/p>\n

The series of fly-bys brought the Hope orbiter as close as 100km (62 miles) to the surface.<\/p>\n
