Popis: The fact that the small bodies as Comets and asteroids have been submitted to a very weak evolution turn them into witness materials of the early stages of formation of the solar system. After the successful multi—spacecraft missions to the Halley comet a great interest is focusing now on asteroids. The soviet mission to Phobos, launched in July 1988 is a peculiar opportunity to study such a small body which could reasonably be a capturated asteroid. The peculiarity is also in the very low and very slow flyby that can be performed in the case of Phobos ; it has been taken advantage of that to use methfds of active remote chemical analysis derived from the laboratory techniques SIMS and LAMMA
