During the Viking primary mission the cameras on the two orbiters acquired about 50 pictures of the two Martian moons. The Viking images of the satellites have a higher surface resolution than those obtained by Mariner 9. The typical surface resolution achieved was 100-200 m, although detail as small as 40 m was imaged on Phobos during a particularly close passage. Attention is given to color sequences obtained for each satellite, aspects of phase angle coverage, and pictures for ephemeris improvement.
