A very effective animation showing Phobos flyby on 3 March created by the team at the Boxx blog (audio in French).

This animation shows the Mars Express orbit very well. The animation uses our original, slightly closer approach (50km instead of the actual 67km) because that's what is in the Celestia files that we posted earlier (unfortunately, we haven't yet had time to upload the 'real' files after measuring the effects of the engine burn earlier in the week - we will do so soon!). The orientation of the spacecraft isn't quite correct because throughout the closest approach MEX stayed pointed at Earth so we could receive the radio signal. Nonetheless, the animation is still excellent, and the illustration of how our orbit crosses Phobos is excellent!

Thanks to the Association Planete Mars (French section of the Mars Society) and their newly created "Atelier 3D" (free 3D for Mars exploration) for an excellent job! -- Daniel
