Abstract
Previous issues of the Deep Space Network (DSN) Space Programs Summary and the DSN Progress Report devoted attention to management and organization, Deep Space Network configurations for telemetry, command, and tracking, and, more recently, to the influence of the DSN in the design of the Viking mission orbiters and landers. Beginning with this issue of the DSN Progress Report, attention will be focused on reporting Viking-related activity in certain specific areas, as the DSN interface organization progresses from the planning through operational phases of the Viking missions. This article takes up the question of DSN support for Viking navigation and traces progress since the latter part of 1970 through the present time.
