Mars Satellites #6

Do you have any information on Mars satellites orbits to create a scenario?

Hello, Unfortunately I don't. They should be available somewhere on the net, but be aware that satellites are much more complicated to compute, because then the classical orbital elements are often not a good enough approximation. The Earth's moon, for example, requires a complex integration to compute accurately, and I suppose it would be the same for other planet's satellites.
