Simultaneous measurements of solar flares from two widely separated spacecraft were enabled by the Soviet PHOBOS mission to Mars in 1988-1989. Concurrently operating PHOBOS and GOES spacecraft each carried two-channel, broadband soft X-ray photometers and were able to observe approximately 30 C-class or larger flares during the PHOBOS encounter with Mars in February and March 1989. In cases where one flare was on the disk as observed by one spacecraft and over the limb as observed from the other, it was possible to estimate the minimum height of the X-ray source above the photosphere. The different response functions of the two photometers made it possible to develop and apply a new method for analyzing the temperatures of evolving, two-component flare plasmas. The spatial (height), temporal, and temperature relations of these flare plasmas are studied.
