Phobos And Deimos & Mars Environment

Phobos And Deimos & Mars Environment (PADME) is a low-cost NASAMars orbiter mission concept that would address longstanding unknowns about Mars' two moons Phobos and Deimos and their environment.

The PADME mission competed for Discovery Program funding, but lost to the Psyche and Lucy missions. The Principal Investigator is Anthony Colaprete. Other principals include Pascal Lee (Deputy Principal Investigator) and Butler Hine (Project Manager).
