Abstract

The means by which calibrations for Deep Space Network (DSN) tracking data will be provided to the Mariner Mars 1971 project is described. The scope and accuracy of calibrations for distinct error source components is stated and a description of the software to compute and provide calibrations for transmission media and platform observable errors is furnished. Utilization of these calibrations will permit the DSN to satisfy the project’s navigational accuracy requirements of 250 km at encounter minus 30 days.
