The parameters of the best-fitting ellipsoid have been derived using the latest spherical harmonics of the Phobos topography (Duxbury, 1989) by solution of non-linear overdetermined inverse problem. The lengths of the equatorial axes of the ellipsoid have been determined (a = 12.9 km, b = 11.4 km).
