Propulsive maneuver strategies have been developed for the Mars orbital phases of the Viking mission, including the activities before and after lander deployment. These strategies have been formulated as fixed sequences of orbit parameter-correction maneuvers which will be performed on specified spacecraft revolutions. Certain adaptive features are also available to ensure efficient use of propellants. Numerical simulations demonstrate that it is possible (to within a very high probability) to satisfy mission requirements on orbital navigation, using these strategies and Viking technology.
