Abstract:
Mutual interference among the two Viking Orbiters and the two Viking Landers caused a loss of downlink carrier lock and telemetry data several times during the Viking extended mission. The Viking experience showed that the types and magnitude of interference can be adequately analyzed (or determined by test) and that the resulting operational constraints can be adequately specified.
