Abstract

The current status of planned A VLBI Navigation demonstrations during Voyager Jupiter encounters is discussed. Error analysis indicates angular accuracies of 0.05 prad are possible. Near real-time data transmission can be achieved with minimal station hardware and software modifications. A software correlator and phase tracking program, operating on the SFOF IBM 360, will be used for data processing. Data quality tests will begin on July 1978 and formal demonstrations will start on January 1979.
