Abstract
Tracking operations during the Pioneer 11 Jupiter encounter proceeded quite smoothly and resulted in a highly successful encounter. Major features that distinguished this encounter from the previous Pioneer 10 Jupiter encounter were the much closer spacecraft approach to Jupiter, which induced far more dynamic excursions in the near encounter tracking parameters, and the Mars Deep Space Station two-way entry into occultation. This report details the preencounter planning and subsequent analysis of tracking operations during the Pioneer 11 Jupiter encounter phase.
