Abstract
This report covers the period from March 1, 1974, through April 15, 1974, April 15, 1974, marked the end of the Mariner Venus/Mercury 1973 (MVM’73) Project’s primary mission and the beginning of the Mariner 10 Extended Mission Project. Consequently, this is the final report in the MVM’73 series; however, future reports will continue to summarize DSN support for the extended mission. March 1974 proved to be the most dynamic and critical period of this rather eventful mission. DSN preparations for trajectory correction maneuver (TCM) 3 and for Mercury encounter were completed, and support was provided in a near-flawless manner, In addition, this period saw the correction of some spacecraft problems and the occurrence of new problems requiring the DSN to respond rapidly with appropriate changes in plans, procedures, configurations, and schedules.
