Abstract

The Voyager 2 launch phase tracking operational procedures were carefully studied and conservatively designed to accommodate any launch contingency. This launch phase was marked by the first use of the Goldstone complex, including the 64 meter antenna, as the initial acquisition location. The following report details the pre-launch planning for and subsequent analysis of tracking operations during the Voyager 2 launch phase.
