Abstract

The Mariner Venus/Mercury 1973 (MVM’73) Spacecraft/Deep Space Network (DSN) compatibility test program consisted of three phases of testing. Subsystem design, system design, and system verification tests were performed at JPL and Cape Canaveral. Preliminary design tests, initiated in late 1971, preceded the formal compatibility test program that culminated in final verification of DSN/ MVM’73 Spacecraft compatibility on October 23, 1973. This report describes the tests and test results that provided the basis for establishment and continuous verification of DSN/MVM’73 Spacecraft compatibility.
