The refined mathematical model of the force created by the light pressure of the Sun was used to compute the solar radiation pressure force acting on the Mariner 9 (Mariner Mars 1971) spacecraft, taking into account the reflectivity characteristics of all its components. The results were compared with values obtained from Mariner 9 observations during the cruise phase and found to be in agreement within 0.1% of the values. (Author)
