The Mariner Jupiter/Saturn Mission is described with emphasis on the navigation problems arising in attempting a Jupiter/Saturn swingby mission which includes close encounters with one or more of the natural satellites of each planet. The navigation system being designed to solve these problems is described. This system includes sub-systems for precision trajectory correction. Earth-based radiometric data, and onboard star/satellite measurements via employment of the science-imaging TV sub-system. Total system performance is discussed as measured against the mission's inherent navigation goals.
