The thermal flux measurements obtained along a ground track on Phobos in March 1989 by the KRFM multichannel radiometer aboard the Phobos-2 spacecraft are presently interpreted within the framework of a thermal model encompassing the effects of ellipsoidal shape and surface roughness. A comparison of measured and calculated thermal fluxes allows inference of the Phobos regolith's grain size and thermal properties. The best agreement with experimental data is obtained for a crater density of 0.9 and a heat conductivity 5-10 times greater than that of the moon.
