Abstract
A functional specification for the Viking mission and a NASA support plan have been completed. A complex scheduling problem, created by the Viking Project request for mission design verification tests in late 1974 and early 1975 has been solved by reworking early agreements on responsibility for software development. The Viking Project poses the problem of simultaneous multiple RF links to the DSN for the first time. Consequently, it has been necessary to introduce multiple-link requirements into the current DSN techniques for single-link RF compatibility testing. The effect of these new requirements, with particular reference to Viking, is discussed in this article.
