The prelaunch planning for the DSN’s participation in the launch of the Helios 2 spacecraft is reviewed from the point of view of the tracking function. The actual events of the initial acquisition are discussed and analyzed in relation to prelaunch plans. In addition, an analysis of the effects of the Helios 2 spacecraft's spin on doppler data is provided.
