Voyager imaging observations of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn provide an excellent test for various photometric theories that were proposed to describe the scattering properties of planetary and satellite surfaces. Not only does the Voyager data set include observations of surfaces ranging widely in albedo, but it provides measurements (in both disc-integrated and disc-resolved forms) over a wide range of phase angles. A detailed comparison of the above models with Voyager data for Europa, Enceladus, Rhea, and Mimas was described. These satellites were selected because they cover a range of reflectances from 0.65 to 1.0 and because for them the Voyager photometric data sets are most complete.
