Abstract
Preliminary estimates of the accuracies with which the mass and ephemeris of Saturn may be determined from radio tracking of an outer planets spacecraft are presented. It is shown that the determination of these parameters should employ radio data taken simultaneously from two stations. Indications are that the uncertainties may be reduced by approximately three orders of magnitude in the mass and by a factor of two in the ephemeris.
