Abstract
Tracking operations during the Helios 1 launch phase proceeded quite smoothly and contributed to a very successful launch. Key features considered in the Helios 1 pre-launch planning were the possible “silent spacecraft” mode and the spacecraft low-gain antenna “interference zone,” although in the actual launch the former did not occur and the impact of the latter was negligible. This report details the pre-launch planning and post-launch analysis of tracking operations during the Helios 1 launch phase.
