Abstract:
Shortly after the launch of Voyager, unexpected dynamic effects necessitated additional orbit determination analysis, testing, and modeling to ensure an accurate trajectory. Perform careful coordinated pre-flight analysis to determine the impact of such effects as torques induced by solar pressure and gas impingement on the spacecraft structure. Design and test to avoid impingement problems.
