Moons of Mars Sun's angular diameter as seen from Mars, by contrast, is about 21'. Thus there are no total solar eclipses on Mars, as the moons are far too small to completely cover the Sun. On the other hand, total lunar eclipses of Phobos are very common, happening almost every night. The motions of Phobos and Deimos would appear very different from that of our own Moon. Speedy Phobos rises in the west, sets in the east, and rises again in just eleven hours, while Deimos, being only just outside synchronous orbit, rises as expected in the east but very slowly. Despite
Mars One but that accommodating Mars One requirements would require some additional work and that such action was not a part of the current focus of SpaceX. 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
