Scientific paper

Using Mariner 9 results on the shapes, rotation periods, and photometric functions of Phobos and Deimos, approximate orbital light curves are calculated for the two Martian satellites. The prediction is that both Phobos and Deimos should show orbital brightness fluctuations detectable from earth. For Phobos, the detectable amplitude is predicted to be about 0.1 mag; for Deimos, 0.2 mag.
