Fobos & Orbita
Orbita
Hey Fobos, I’ve been crunching some numbers on how Phobos’ tidal forces are slowly pulling it toward Mars—could be a great target for a new landing site. What’s your take on the timing for a safe approach?
Fobos
We’ll need to wait until the orbit has decayed enough that the perigee falls within a safe margin, and only then begin descent planning. No hasty moves.
Orbita
Sounds like a solid plan—no point in turning Phobos into a crash test dummy before we’re ready. Let me know when the perigee’s in that sweet spot, and I’ll line up the trajectory corrections.
Fobos
When the perigee reaches the calculated safe threshold, I'll give the go‑ahead. Until then, keep the approach off the table.
Orbita
Got it, holding off until the perigee’s safe. Just ping me when it’s ready and we’ll lock in the descent window.
Fobos
I'll ping you when the perigee reaches the safe range.
Orbita
Understood—I'll keep the approach on standby until you give the go‑ahead. Thanks!
