No, the moons of mars are too small to hold much of a gravitational pull.

Are there any satellites orbiting Mars?
Mars has two satellite moons, Deimos & Phobos
Are there any satellites on Mars?
Yes. Mars has two natural satellites (moons) that have been named Phobos and Deimos. (Both are considerably smaller than Earth's moon.) As of January, 2009, there are 3 artificial satellites orbiting Mars: * Mars Odyssey (NASA - arrived October, 2001) * Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (NASA - arrived March, 2006) * Mars Express (ESA - arrived December, 2003)
Are there any orbiting moons by sartun?
Yes, Saturn has a few moons. Titan, Rhea, and Iapetus are some of the major moons. NASA has them categorized or Wikipedia has more information about them. There are eight major satellites and fifty-some lesser satellites and unconfirmed satellites.
How many satellites dose Venus have?
Venus is one of the few planets that doesn't have any satellites orbiting around it. Venus also is a planet with no moons.
How many satellites orbit Mercury?
Natural satellites? none. Uranus - 27 known moons to date Jupiter - 63 known moons to date Saturn - 60 known moons to date Mercury - 0 Mars - 2 Earth - 1 Neptune - 13 known moons to date Pluto - 3 known moons to date Venus - 0 None because Mercury has no moons/satellites at all.
How do Mars' moons stay in their orbits around Mars?
The answer is the same for the moons of Mars as it is for any orbiting object. Angular momentum keeps them up, and gravitation keeps them from flying away. Those are the two balanced forces.
Does Venus have any satellites?
No. Venus has no natural satellites (moons). Neither does Mercury.
Are there any moons planets or satellites on mars?
There are no moons are planets actually on Mars as moons and planets orbit out in space. You see much the same planets from Mars as you do from Earth, except Earth is visible as one of the brightest objects in the sky. Mars itself has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos.
What natural satellites orbit around their planets?
there are no natural satellites of mercury.
Why Venus have no satellite?
Since Earth's Moon was likely formed from a chance collision, the formation of moons may not have been a stable process in the inner solar system. Any moons that formed around Venus or Mercury could have been swept away by the stronger gravity of the Sun, as might smaller moons around Earth. If Mercury or Venus ever had satellites, they were lost long ago.
Has Mars got any moons?
Mars has two moons.
Are there any satellites orbiting Mercury?
yes
