After Earth’s Moon, Phobos and Deimos stand as the next targets for human exploration. Mars orbiters have imaged both Martian moons up close. The Soviet Fobos 2 attempted sampling the moon Phobos but failed. Getting a crew to Mars, Phobos and Deimos will be a daunting task. Some researchers advocate sending probes instead. Beyond Mars, many small moons will make intriguing sites of exploration, including the smaller moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and the four small moons of Pluto.
