Abstract
A new Phobos Atlas has been prepared, which includes a variety of thematic maps at various projections and scales, emphasizing dynamic topography, surface multispectral properties, geomorphology, as well as grooves- and crater statistics. The atlas benefits from innovative mapping techniques and recent results from Mars Express image processing: new derived control point networks, shape models and gravity field working models. A structure of the atlas is presented and some examples of the maps are shown. The Phobos Atlas can be useful for the future mission planning to the Martian satellite.
