The maneuver analysis for the Mariner 9 mission, both prelaunch and in-flight, was different from that of previous Mariners because of the requirement to insert the spacecraft into orbit about Mars and to trim the orbit to an unprecedented accuracy. The most apparent differences were in the spacecraft design, the software development, and the maneuver strategy required for each phase of the mission. The analysis that was performed and the software that was developed, with emphasis on the maneuver strategy and actual in-flight results are described.
