Scientific paper

Spacecraft orbital accuracies during the mapping phase of the Venus Radar Mapper Mission are the subject of this paper. The analysis presented describes the navigational strategy for the prime mission in support of mapping the planet Venus using a spacecraft deployed Synthetic Aperture Radar. Achievable orbital accuracies are shown to be limited by accuracy of interferometric data to be used. Implications of tracking system configurations and of expected degradation in data accuracy towards the end of the mission in the proximity of superior solar conjunction are examined.
