Deimos and Phobos, the moons of Mars, are carbonaceous asteroids captured in the Martian gravity well. They are extremely small. Phobos orbits closest to the planet, while Deimos is farther out.

Recommended distances from the planet surface-

Phobos: 56.51 km

Deimos: 220.94 km

For gameplay purposes, the moon sizes relative to the planet are roughly doubled. Even with this increase, they are still small.

I recommend placing a GPS point somewhere near the planet's equator (slightly up or down of it is good), below where you want the moon to orbit, and then using Spectator Mode to go directly out to the spot you want and placing the asteroid. I also recommend marking them with a GPS point or you will have a difficult time finding them again without Space Master.

These are high quality asteroids and will take a little bit of time to paste into the world (Phobos, more so than Deimos), so be patient.

Because both moons are darker, carbonaceous asteroids, I will likely be changing Deimos to match the color of Phobos.
