The detection and observation of satellites of the small bodies orbiting the Sun in the outer Solar System is extremely important in order to determine the orbit and masses of the components in the binary system as well as to know their sizes to derive their mean bulk density. This note provides a formal estimation of the possible separation distances, orbital periods, and apparent brightnesses of possible satellites of the objects in the inner region of the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt.
