Abstract
Radiometric differenced range residuals (10 Viking orbiting spacecraft observations) have been used to evaluate the current Deep Space Net adopted relative Z distance between Deep Space Station 43 and Deep Space Station 14. The Ap noise is approximately twice the predicted noise: oy p iS 3.4 m relative to a mean of -1 m. This scatter in the Ap is most likely due to media calibration uncertainties and Deep Space Net hardware noise. These 10 Ap residuals yield an estimated Z distance between DSS 43 and DSS 14 of 7351803.6 m. The standard deviation of that estimate is 10.1 m.
