Solar eclipses on Mars a Martian day is 24 hours 37 minutes long, meaning that Phobos can create two eclipses per Martian day. These are annular eclipses, because Phobos is not quite large enough or close enough to Mars to create a total solar eclipse. Deimos is too small (about ) and too far from Mars to cause an eclipse. The best an observer on Mars would see is a small spot crossing the Sun's disc. Both moons are too small to cast a shadow on Mars that can be seen from Earth. However, shortly after the first artificial satellites were placed in orbit

SpaceX has no ongoing contracts with Mars One. The first Mars One cargo mission to Mars is proposed to launch by 2022, followed by a crewed mission in 2024, but without funds, hardware, and without a launcher it is seen as unlikely to happen. A hypothetical crewed interplanetary spacecraft, for which there are no concept design studies, would be assembled in low Earth orbit and comprise two propellant modules: a Transit Living Module (discarded just
