Deimos is the smaller and outermost moon of Mars. Deimos was discovered by Asaph Hall at the United States Naval Observatory on 12 August 1877. Henry Madan suggested the name Deimos from Greek mythology. It is a sort of potato shaped body about 16 × 12 × 10 km in size, and is tidally locked so that the same side always faces Mars. It's about 12460 km from Mars in an almost circular orbit. Escape speed is about 5.6 m/s so that one could almost jump and leave the body.
