In order to obtain high quality images of Venus and to construct a relief map of its surface by using side looking radar and radio-altimeter observations from a spacecraft operating in a near Venus orbit, the trajectory of the spacecraft relative to the planet needs to be known with high precision. For solving this problem, a ground based and spaceborne measurement data processing system was developed. The system was used successfully for the radar mapping of Venus from the Soviet Venera 15 and 16 spacecraft. It is hoped that the methods developed and the experience gained may also be useful in the Magellan Project.
