Scientific paper

A catalog of 5767 ground-based astrometric observations of the Martian satellites, Phobos and Deimos, has been compiled. The position measurements comprise: 2497 of Phobos relative to Mars 3116 of Deimos relative to Mars and 154 of Deimos relative to Phobos. The data have been extracted from both published and unpublished sources and have been tabulated in a consistent format. All the observation times have been converted to the same time system, UTC. The catalog contains accuracy figures which can be used to differentially weigh the data when they are used for orbit determination purposes. Bad quality measurements have been identified and some obvious blunders have been corrected. The catalog is the official source of ground-based observations to be used for improving the satellite ephemerides in support of the Soviet Phobos mission.
