Description:
The current status of planned delta very long base interferometry (VLBI) navigation during Voyager Jupiter encounters is discussed. It is indicated that angular accuracies of 0.05 microrads are possible and that near real time data transmission can be achieved with minimal station hardware and software modifications. A software correlator and phase tracking program, operating on the SFOF IBM 360, used for data processing is described.
