Abstract
This paper presents an overview of developments in the cartography of the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos from the early satellite images to recent maps based on data from past and on-going Mars missions, especially Viking and Mars Express. We describe in detail the definition and use of special projections for these irregular-shaped bodies. New controlled Phobos mosaics and a topographic atlas in a scale of 1: 50,000 derived from images of the High Resolution Stereo Camera/Super Resolution Channel (HRSC/SRC) camera on Mars Express are presented.
