The Mars Exploration Rover mission plans to launch two spacecraft, each containing one rover, and to deliver them to the surface of Mars allowing the rovers to collect science data on the surface.
This paper will show the improvements to the atmospheric entry delivery accuracy due to the addition of delta VLBI data to the standard Doppler range tracking.
The Galileo spacecraft arrived at Jupiter in December of 1995 to begin an orbital tour of the Jovian system. The objective of the tour was the up close study of the planet, its satellites, and its magnetosphere.
The Galileo spacecraft's navigation results for the first eleve Jupiter satellite encounters are described.
The Galileo spacecraft reached Jupiter on December 8, 1995. During its six year voyage Galileo encountered six celestial bodies.
The galileo spacecraft was launched on October 18, 1989 towards Jupiter using the Venus-Earth-Earth Gravity Assist (VEEGA) trajectory.
The tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRS) was successfully used to track the Galielo spacecraft on December 8, 1992, during the Galielo Earth-2 flyby. This flyby enabled Galielo to obtaina gravity assited energy increase as part of the Venus-Earth-Earth trajectory en route to the planet Jupiter.
