Scientific paper
The paper shows how analyses of Doppler and ranging tracking data from the Viking landers are contributing to the photogrammetric inputs in three specific areas: improved determination of the spin axis of Mars, improved determination of the spin rate, and accurate position determination of the landers with respect to the equator and the vernal equinox. The latest results for these parameters are presented along with applications of these and other recent results for improved mapping of Mars. The improvements obtained provide a new level of precision for Mars mapping.
