The final operations tests prior to Mars orbit insertion for Viking 1 are discussed together with the real-time operations support for the two months preceding this event. Several special operational strategies and procedures designed to optimize the DSN support during the critical planetary phases of the mission are described. The final phases of Network implementation for Viking and the support afforded to the radio science experiments and Mars radar observations are also included.
