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.
Planets and moons remain in their orbits because of the gravitational pull other bigger planets or stars have on them, for example the Earth stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subjects to created by the Sun, and the moon stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subject to created by the Earth. It's all about gravity and force.
The Galilean moons—Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—remain in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's strong gravitational pull. This gravitational force keeps the moons in stable orbits as they revolve around Jupiter. The balance between their orbital velocity and Jupiter's gravitational pull keeps them from escaping or falling into the planet.
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.
I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation!!
The Moon orbits around the Earth while appearing to stay in a fixed position in the night sky, depending on the observer's location. This illusion is created by the Moon's synchronous rotation, where one side always faces Earth.
yes and no there;s no answer
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the gravitational pull of the planet. As of June 2014, Jupiter has 63 known moons.

Planets and their moons stay in orbit due to a balance between gravitational forces pulling them towards each other and the forward motion of the objects. This balance causes them to continuously fall towards each other but also keep moving sideways fast enough to not collide. This results in stable orbits around a common center of mass.
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
Sir Isaac Newton showed that all objects in the universe attract each other through gravitational force, in other words, he was the one that showed that planets and moons stay in orbit due to gravity :)

Gravity, just like our moon. gravity pulls it around
because the planets' gravity pull them so that they do not go away and the moons revolve around them with a constant speed so they stay in their orbit
