Description
In this communication, we examine in situ observations of the magnetic field in the vicinity of Phobos on the "Phobos-2" mission and give some analysis of the data during a unique experiment ``Celestial Mechanics,'' which leads to the support of evidence of the Phobos magnetic field. In particular, it is suggested that the peculiarity of the solar wind interaction with Phobos and rotating direction of the magnetic field obtained on the circular orbits around Mars are the evidence for the existence of an intrinsic planetary field of Phobos.
