Scientific exploration of Venus using an atmospheric probe requires relaying telemetry to Earth as the probe descends through the atmosphere to the surface of Venus. Using the flyby spacecraft to relay the probe telemetry to Earth will require precise carrier-to-probe pointing accuracy of the relay spacecraft’s antenna. NASA’s Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission uses this carrier-to-probe relay technique. Although DAVINCI includes a coherent cross-link for science, this is not baselined for navigation tracking. This paper explores the potential effectiveness of cross-link tracking for reducing trajectory uncertainty and improving spacecraft-to-probe pointing.
