During the flight of the Phobos 2 space probe, solar soft X-ray emission was monitored. Using gas proportional counters, the fluxes in two energy bands (2-4 and 4-8 keV) were measured with time resolution up to 2 s during larger events. Data now exists of most of the flares, sub-flares and other X-ray emitting events in the period between July 14, 1988 and March 17, 1989. Some examples of the data are presented. At the time of the measurement, GOES was registering solar X-rays in approximately the same energy bands; some possibilities of stereoscopic observation during the late phase of the Phobos 2 mission, when the spacecraft-sun-earth angle was approaching 60 deg, are discussed.
