Abstract
This paper describes techniques suitable for tracking and guiding missiles to Mars and Venus or beyond. In simplest form, a system can be constructed utilizing these techniques, which requires only two ground stations a few thousand miles apart, linked only by voice or teletype communications and a transponder in the spacecraft, to provide precise three-dimensional tracking information. One dimension is determined by making use of Earth motion, another dimension by the difference of distance from the spacecraft and the ground stations, and the third by direct range measurement.
