The time and polar motion calibration support provided to the MM'71 mission is discussed. Specifically, a description is given of the data gathering system and the data processing system by which calibrations were obtained. An introductory discussion of the effects of timing and polar motion error on spacecraft navigation, along with a description of the system used to support Mariners 6 and 7, is given. A complete discussion of the way in which timing is used in orbit determination is also given.
