The ADIOS mission aims to direct an impactor into Deimos to create a plume for analysis of its surface and subsurface composition, with a focus on identifying its origins and potential contributions to early life. The mission requires a successful collision at a speed of 3.5 km/s, and aims to relay spectrometer data back to Earth for further analysis. The project's budget is approximately $3.8 million, and it includes a range of scientific objectives related to Deimos' composition and its relation to Mars.

David Habashy, Brian Hardie, Brandon Hing, Zujia Huang, Sung Kim, Jonathan Saenger

2. Mission Goal
Primary: Direct an impactor into Deimos at high velocities to launch a plume of
surface and subsurface debris into space. The released plume will be analyzed by
a passive infrared spectrometer to determine the composition of Deimos. This will
determine whether Deimos is a C or D type asteroid, or Mars ejecta.
Secondary: Prebiotic volatile concentrations will be analyzed to determine the
potential asteroid contributions to early life.
Alternative: Close Proximity Imaging of one face of Deimos with passive
spectrometry of surface composition or total satellite impact with spectrometry
conducted by Mars satellites.

3. Objectives
- The impactor shall collide with Deimos’ surface and generate a plume
sufficient enough in size for the CubeSat Spectrometer to detect.
- The impactor shall release from the observer and penetrate Deimos’ surface
deep enough to expose subsurface volatile compounds including oxygen,
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water, and ammonia.
- The CubeSat shall analyze the plume with a spectrometer and determine the
1.3 µm absorption levels, as well as the absorption levels of volatiles and
successfully relay this data back to Earth.
3

4. Key Mission Requirements
- Shall be ready for launch by July 14th, 2020
- Shall not exceed $5.6 M in total cost
- Shall not exceed 14 kg for all components
- Be able to deliver the impactor to the surface of Deimos 50 minutes before the observer
- Be able to deliver the impactor to Deimos at a speed no less than 3.5 km/s and a mass
of 4 kg to produce a sufficient plume size of 0.25 km x 0.25 km
- Be able to determine the 1.3 µm absorption levels of the plume as well as the
absorption levels of volatiles
- Be able to point the spectrometer at the plume for a minimum of 30 seconds at a range
of no more than 600km
- Be able to relay all spectrometer data back to Earth via the DSN

5. Mission Science Value
Key science questions are
Origin
Composition
Relationship to other solar system materials.
Are the moons possibly re-accreted Mars ejecta [or] primitive, D-type bodies? Spectrometry can answer this question.
“Resolving the debate concerning the compositions (and likely origins) of... Deimos may be relevant to understanding the
early history of Mars...if they turn out to be related to volatile-rich asteroids...they may be the surviving representatives of a
family of bodies that originated in the outer asteroid belt or further, and reached the inner solar system to deliver volatiles
and organics to the accreting terrestrial planets.”

- Saves $49,000 for Argus and no longer need separate impactor
- Have impactor be unguided
- Saves $200,000 in component costs and reduces complexity
- Increases risk of missing.
- Reduce the amount of employees
- Cutting 2 graduate students saves $484,452.77 over 5 years
- Only do spectronomy of Deimos Surface
