Abstract
The software of the computer that drives the tracking antennas in the DSN has been modified to improve the pointing accuracy for tracking operations at X-band frequencies. The change implemented an improved model for atmospheric refraction correction and added a software tracking option that corrects any remaining pointing errors. The software tracking option that was added measures the actual pointing error and corrects the antenna position accordingly. This option will be discussed.
