Observations with the D2B-Aura satellite are used to derive absolute UV brightness maps of the Magellanic Clouds at 3100, 2200, and 1690 A, with an equivalent resolution of about 3 x 3 deg. Integrated fluxes of the Clouds are calculated and compared with other determinations. Both Clouds have smooth UV spectra, the Small Cloud being bluer than the Large Cloud.
