Least squares and sequential estimation techniques application to Mariner 6 and 7 tracking data analysis, verifying Einstein relativity theory on electromagnetic radiation propagation
General relativistic time delay of electromagnetic radiation propagation due to solar gravitational field measured from Mariner 6 and 7 range and Doppler data
General relativistic time delay and moon-earth masses and Mars mass-ephemeris ratios from S-band range and Doppler tracking
Measurements of the microwave emission from the moon and their interpretation in terms of the thermophysics of that body are reviewed. Variations of the brightness temperatures of the moon during a lunation and during eclipses when combined with infrared and radar measurements yield a precise set of physical parameters for the upper few meters of the lunar soil. These parameters include the density, thermal conductivity, dielectric constant, radio absorption coefficients, and the mean temperature gradiant.
