Properties of the surfaces of Jupiter’s satellites—Ganymede and Callisto—are shortly described. Their images acquired in space missions are shown. Causes of the discrepancy between orbital lightcurves of the satellites obtained from the earth and spaceborne maps of the satellites are considered. The groundbased observations were carried out under phase angles of solar illumination ranging from 0° to 12°, and the maps were built from images acquired from spacecraft in a wide interval of solar phase angles. We suggest that the main cause of the discrepancies between the lightcurves is the coherent backscattering effect observed only at small phase angles of the sun.
