Phobos mission rocket releases spent propellant stage
Once the Phobos mission rocket acquires enough velocity to place it into a Mars-intercepting orbit it releases the empty propellant stage. This reduces the amount of mass that must be braked seven months down the line in order to enter a stable Mars orbit

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the Phobos mission, showcasing the release of the spent propellant stage. As the rocket gains enough velocity to enter a Mars-intercepting orbit, it sheds its empty propellant stage, effectively reducing its mass for future maneuvers. This strategic move ensures a smoother braking process seven months later when entering a stable Mars orbit. The image showcases three distinct objects against the backdrop of outer space. The Earth serves as a breathtaking reminder of our terrestrial origins, while the sleek and futuristic spacecraft takes center stage. With no humans present, this illustration emphasizes the power and capabilities of technology in space exploration. The digitally generated artwork beautifully combines elements from astronautics, astronautical engineering, astronomy, and science fiction to create an awe-inspiring scene. It sparks imagination and curiosity about what lies beyond our planet's boundaries. Walter Myers' masterful creation not only celebrates human ingenuity but also highlights key aspects of space travel such as propulsion and thrust. This visually striking depiction invites viewers on an imaginary journey through time and space while evoking excitement for future missions that push technological boundaries. Overall, this stunning artwork encapsulates both scientific precision and artistic vision in portraying an essential phase of the Phobos mission – one that paves the way for further exploration into uncharted territories within our solar system.
