This design survey summarizes the history of the Orbiting Geophysical Observatories' (OGO) Attitude Control Subsystem (ACS) from the proposal phase through current flight experience. Problems encountered in design, fabrication, test, and on orbit are discussed. It is hoped that the experiences of the OGO program related here will aid future designers.
Spacecraft trajectory initial conditions expressions as parameters dependent functions, applying results to Mars lander mission
Successful planetary exploration missions have been completed by unmanned Mariner spacecraft, which were designed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Mariner II completed a 109-day flyby mission to Venus on December 14, 1962. This mission was followed by the flyby of Mars and return of 21 historic photographs of its surface by Mariner IV in July 1965. Further successful missions followed: Mariner V to Venus in 1967, Mariners VI and VII to Mars in 1969. In all of these missions, a Central Computer and Sequencer onboard the spacecraft was used to provide on-board control functions, although complete ground backup was also available.
