Aerobraking phase covariance study results and preliminary joint JPL/ISAS orbit determination findings are presented. Possible explanations for differences in the JPL and ISAS perigee altitude results are discussed. Agreement between predicted and reconstructed values for the altitude and time of perigee passage attests to the accuracy of the JPL orbit solutions.
