This paper describes the Viking mission objectives and overall navigation profile from trans-Mars injection through the post-landing station-keeping phase. Included are interplanetary trajectory corrections, Mars orbit insertion, satellite orbit trims to acquire the landing site, lander separation and deorbit, entry, landing, and, finally, orbiter station keeping with the lander. The broad spectrum of navigation activities has strongly influenced the design of the Viking spacecraft and mission. The paper discusses fuel requirements to account for trajectory dispersions and uncertainties, requirements for navigation hardware and software, expected inflight uncertainties, satellite orbit adjustment for landing site acquisition, lander targeting techniques, lander trajectory reconstruction, and lander position determination.
