Abstract
The Deep Space Network (DSN) has implemented a new radio science data capability within the DSN Tracking System — routine provision of phase fluctuation data concurrently computed over several different time scales. This new capability has been used to observe phase fluctuation spectral characteristics during a rapid increase in solar wind turbulence that occurred during a July 23, 1978, track of the Voyager 1 spacecraft by Deep Space Station (DSS) 11, This article suggests that the new capability will prove quite useful in future studies of variations in Solar Wind phase fluctuation spectral characteristics with, for instance, parameters such as the solar (sunspot) cycle and radial distance.
