Scientific paper
The maneuver design for Viking was accomplished in two phases. First, there was the preflight design and strategy development that was dictated by mission objectives and requirements. Orbit determination and maneuver execution accuracy statistics were used, together with propellant budget considerations, to determine specific maneuver requirements and strategies. The second phase of the maneuver design occurred in flight. The maneuver analyses that were performed in flight, the software that was employed, and the actual inflight results for the entire orbital phase of the nominal Viking Mission are described with emphasis on prelanding objectives and geometry considerations. The actual adaptive design and implementation of the maneuvers as the mission progressed are considered. This design process included the minimization of both propellant usage and the effects of maneuver execution errors, while complying with several mechanization constraints.
