Scientific paper
The development and application of a technique using a single turn thruster to reorient a spinning spacecraft is described. The velocity resulting from using the single turn thruster is effectively used in the design of two trajectory correction maneuver strategies. The use of these strategies, together with achieved attitude measurements during the Pioneer Venus missions, yielded meaningful thruster calibration data which resulted in improved maneuver execution and overall navigation system accuracy that would have otherwise not been possible.
