Abstract
Viking 1975 interplanetary S- and X-band doppler data are surveved. These data show consistency with differenced range versus integrated doppler (DRVID} data when there is solar plasma and with Faraday rotation data otherwise. An increase of solar plasma effects with decreasing Sun-Larth-probe (SEP) angle (approaching Mars orbit insertion) is demonstrated. The 2-wav/3-way data indicate a homogeneous solar plasma structure over a 8000-km spread. Occasional evcle slips in the data are pinpointed and tabulated.
