Mariner II Deep Space Telecommunications

Two major telecommunication activities were in process during the Venus encounter of 1962, the largest, activity involved the two-way communications and tracking of the Mariner spacecraft from the DSIF (Deep Space Instrumentation Facility) stations on the earth. The first, and by far the largest activity involved the two-way communications and tracking of the Mariner spacecraft from the DSIF stations on the earth. The DSIF includes stations at Goldstone, California; Woomera, Australia; and Johannesburg, South Africa. The second activity involved an earth-based radar which reflected signals off the planet Venus during the same month that the Mariner spacecraft was traveling toward the planet.

Radio Tracking of Mariner II and Its Scientific Implications

Precise two-way Doppler tracking of Mariner II during its 129-day flight to Venus and beyond has provided scientists with basic information that will help further refine physical constants that are important in understanding the solar system and the earth.

MARINER 2 FLIGHT TO VENUS

The trajectory analysis behind this spacecraft's history-making flight to Venus, which reaches the high point of flyby on December 14, will become a fundamental operation for future deep-space flights.
