Scientific paper

One of the most interesting characteristics of a Phobos are a physical librations. The Phobos has the big amplitude physical librations among known synchronously rotating a moons of planets of Solar system. In the report will be presented the review of Phobos physical librations. We give the basic parameters of the Phobos's rotation and some scientific problems to be solved with the help of the scientific instruments installed on the spacecraft "Phobos-Grunt". Measurement of the Phobos's libration parameters will allow to study features of rotation of this insignificant body for definition of its internal structure and of its dissipation evolution in future.
