Abstract
Regolith formation on the Martian satellites is considered as a stochastic process. Each cratering event is further divided into five elementary processes: impact cratering, launching of ejecta, blanket formation and recapturing of ejecta from circum-Mars orbits. Peculiarities of the blanket shape for Phobos and Deimos ejecta, found from calculations, are indicated. The possible scenario of the regolith development on the satellites is discussed. -Authors
