Abstract

Since 1967, radio scientists have used the Deep Space Network 26- and 64-m 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 highresolution studies of quasars. During the reporting period, VLBI observations were made of quasars and pulsars. Support was also provided by the 64-m antenna for the measurement of cosmic background noise and weak radio sources to search for interstellar molecules and to observe radiation from Jupiter.
