- Surface, atmosphere and Mars plasma environment
- Phobos and Deimos: unsolved questions
- Recent results of Mars and Phobos studies (Mars Odyssey, Mars-Express, Mars Exploration Rovers, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter)
- Phobos Sample Return Mission: scientific program, experiments, spacecraft, ballistics, mission control, data archiving.
- Future planetary missions.
Scientists and specialists of planetary exploration are invited for participation in 1M-S3.
It is planned that most of the plenary talks will be by invitation. The program committee will also consider a limited number of contributed reports for oral presentation. For other contributions selected by the program committee, poster sessions will be organized.
