Abstract
On February 12, 1972, Mariner 9 completed its 180th revolution about the planet Mars and its 90th day of scientific data gathering from orbit. This marked the end of the nominal mission, which was to obtain data from orbit for a minimum of 90 days, and marked the beginning of the Extended Mission. This article presents the objectives, constraints, profile, and present DSN coverage plan for the Mariner Mars Extended Mission.
