内容記述 | The Viking radio science investigations utilize data from the radio tracking and communications systems of the orbiters and landers. The primary areas of research are: (1) dynamical, surface, and internal properties of Mars, (2) atmospheric and ionospheric properties of Mars, and (3) solar system properties. The instrumentation and facilities used are those required for trajectory and orbit determination, spacecraft control, and data transmission. The X-band downlink on the orbiters is also used for communications experiments and for the improvement of radio science capabilities. |
