This article describes tracking operations during the Viking 1 planetary phase. Particular attention is paid to special planning for critical phase tracking operations, and to the degree of success subsequently achieved by these special plans during the actual operations. In-depth coverage is provided for Mars orbit insertion (MOI), periapsis passage tracking, and Lander direct links. The article concludes that on balance, tracking operations during the Viking 1 planetary phase have been effectively implemented and quite successful.
