Abstract
The use of noncoherent radio tracking data to perform position determination for the approach phase of a Mars lander mission is examined in light of recent improvements in spacecraft onboard clocks. Clock characteristics required to achieve tracking performance similar to coherent Doppler and range are discussed.
