Determination of Position of Jupiter From Very-Long Baseline Interferometry Observations of ULYSSES

Mannucci, A. J.; Folkner, W. M.; McElrath, T. P.

Very-long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the Ulysses spacecraft near its encounter with Jupiter on 1992 February 8 were made to determine the angular position of Jupiter with respect to well known extragalactic radio sources. Spacecraft range and Doppler data were used to determine the position of the spacecraft with respect to Jup…
