Images from the unmanned probe Aeneas I (sampled below), provided the needed information for the teams to determine the period of revolution for each of the new planet's moons. For the inner moon, the period of revolution was determined to be 11 hours. For the outer moon, the period of revolution was determined to be 31 hours. Both are quite quick when compared to our moon which takes nearly a month.
