The nonlinear inverse problem of radiation transfer is studied. This problem is formulated for the reconstruction of the angular and altitude variation of the atmospheric-scattering phase function over the planetary disk from photometric data on the solar radiation reflected by the planetary atmsophre. The interative solution includes, in turn, a solution of the corresponding direct and conjugate problems of radiation transfer. A numerical algorithm is formulated for solving the conjugate problem by the method of spherical harmonics. The angular oscillations introduced in the computed weighting functions of the linearized inverse problem by the use of this method are eliminated by integration of the complete source function of the transfer equation. The conditions imposed on the geometry of observation of the planetary disk are studied from the standpoint of the information content of these observations.
