Japanese scientists have proposed starting a study of the satellites of Mars as part of the search for life on the planet. The study of Phobos with the collection of soil samples will begin in 2024.

Exploration of the planet's surface is carried out using rovers, which are launched to Mars and controlled remotely. They are exploring the possibility of life on the planet. However, according to Japanese astronauts, it can be fully studied only after the diagnosis of the moons - Deimos and Phobos.

Both satellites are smaller than the Moon, but at the same time they are much closer to the planet. And this provokes a corresponding influence on Mars. In particular, for the presence of traces of life on the planet.

An additional reason for switching to the moons of Mars is the limited study of the surface of the planet itself. Rovers can only explore part of it. And if there are traces there, then they may either not be found at all, or found, but in small quantities. Therefore, the astronauts suggested that it is possible to send probes to the Martian moons.

If the research is successful, scientists hope that this will be another breakthrough in the study of outer space and its objects. And also the next step in Martian tourism.

At the moment, all current research is published in specialized journals, leaving room for analytics and analytical forecasts.

The study of Mars is possible not only within the framework of astronomical research. This can be a wonderful hobby. It is enough just to arm yourself with a telescope, specialized literature and the necessary equipment. The latter can be found in the section "Sports, recreation, leisure, tourism, fishing".
