Scientific paper

Mariner 5 radio tracking data was analyzed to support the following goals: (1) the determination of the mass of Venus, (2) the determination of, or the placement of a stringent upper bound on, the second order terms in the harmonic expansion of Venus' gravity field; and (3) an independent estimate of the locations of the Deep Space Net tracking stations relative to the coordinate system defined by the orbits of the planets. The rotation vector of Venus was also studied using radar observations of the planet.
