Abstract

This article reports recent precision system noise temperature measurements made with the X- and S-band systems as they will be used for the Mariner Venus/ Mercury 1973 (MVM’73) mission. Elevation and azimuth profiles for both the S-band and X-band systems are also presented. A summary of the zenith system noise temperature measurements for calendar year 1973 for the diplexed S-band systems at DSS 14 is described and plotted.
