Investigation of outer planet atmospheres using the pioneer entry probe radio systemThe requirements for a telecommunication link which will relay information from a space probe to a carrier spacecraft during space exploration missions are examined. Specific experiments are described and the relative value of the proposed techniques are evaluated. Radio science methods as related to telecommunications systems are discussed. Operational implications of the various approaches to scientific measurement by telemetry of tracking radios are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on a conceptual description of the physics rather than the mathematical development.
