Description:
Preplanning for the use of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Large Array (VLA) in support of Voyager at Neptune has been underway since early 1982. When arrayed with the Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas at Goldstone, CA, the VLA more than doubles the potential data return over the American longitude for the 1989 Voyager encounter. The background, rationale and current status of planning for VLA-DSN Arrayed Support to the Voyager at Neptune are discussed.
