Abstract
Since 1967, radio scientists have used the Deep Space Network 26- and 64-mdiameter antenna stations to investigate pulsars, to study the effect of solar corona on radio signals, and to observe radio emissions from X-ray sources. More recently, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) techniques have been used for high-resolution studies of quasars. During the reporting period, VLBI observations were made of quasars and pulsars. Support was also provided by the 64-mdiameter antenna for the measurement of cosmic background noise, mapping of nearby spiral galaxies, searching for ionized hydrogen in interstellar globular clusters, searching for interstellar molecules, and observing radiation from Jupiter.
