NASA's Magellan mission to understand the geological and geophysical processes that have shaped the planet Venus is reviewed. Through synthetic aperture radar, radiometric, altimetric, and gravity measurements, the scientific community hopes to improve its knowledge of the planet's topography and internal mass distribution. The spacecraft sequence software design, development, and test are described and the nominal operational flow of stored sequence design and generation are addressed. The ground processing of engineering telemetry and imaging data are described and the Magellan operational experience with nonroutine behavior of the spacecraft during the cruise and mapping portions of the prime mission is summarized.
