The utilization of the Viking lander as a beacon for navigating the Galileo spacecraft for its Mars flyby is investigated. Covariance analyses show that the improvement in the flyby navigation accuracy is significant compared with the conventional radiometric navigation. A validation experiment using Viking lander and orbiter indicates that the expected accuracy can be obtained.
