Abstract

The Pioneer 10 test program was unique since the majority of DSN testing was conducted during the Mariner 9 encounter and orbiting. The importance of both programs to the NASA effort required special emphasis to assure that successful programs can be supported simultaneously. This critique lists the major problems encountered and the solutions used for a successful Pioneer 10 launch, while fully supporting all Mariner Mars 1971 requirements.
