Abstract

Near superior solar conjunction, radiowaves traveling between Earth and a spacecraft graze the sun, Ranging, or determining the round-trip radio signal propogation time, provides measurements of signal delay induced by the solar corona and gravity field. This article describes techniques which enhance range data quality during the harsh signal conditions existing at solar conjunction.
