dc.description.abstract	With a view to test the famous Roche hypothesis, it is suggested that, in the near future space programme, Phobos, the inner satellite of Mars, be pushed inside by a properly arranged atomic explosion so as to cross the Roche limit of Mars. Phobos is uniquely suitable for this field experiment in astronomy, since its present orbit is not far outside this Roche limit nor its mass too great for the push of an atomic explosion	en
