Magellan navigation using X-band differenced Doppler during Venus mapping phaseThis paper describes Magellan navigation procedures and performance during the first 1.5 years of mapping. It presents the results of studies comparing several orbit determination methods performed with and without X-band (8.4 GHz) differenced Doppler tracking data. X-band differenced Doppler has been used as a primary navigation data-type for the first time. It has been found to be a significant aid in efficiently meeting orbiter navigation requirements during the Magellan spacecraft's Venus radar-mapping phase.
