TL;DR: In this paper, a 14 months of data obtained from radio ranging to the Viking spacecraft was verified to an estimated accuracy of 0.1%, the prediction of the general theory of relativity that the roundtrip times of light signals traveling between the earth and Mars are increased by the direct effect of solar gravity.

The Viking Relativity Experiment
Irwin I. Shapiro,Robert D. Reasenberg,P. E. MacNeil,R. B. Goldstein,J. P. Brenkle,D. L. Cain,T. Komarek,A. I. Zygielbaum,W. F. Cuddihy,W. H. Michael +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, measurements of the roundtrip time of flight of radio signals transmitted from the earth to the Viking spacecraft are analyzed to test the predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Venus gravity: A high-resolution map
TL;DR: In this article, Doppler data from the radio tracking of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) have been used in a two-stage analysis to develop a high-resolution map of the gravitational potential of Venus, represented by a central mass and a surface mass density.

Mars Rotation: Detection of Seasonal Rate Variation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Genetic algorithms and solutions of an interesting differential equation
TL;DR: This paper reports an approach to using genetic algorithms with "mixed" analytical wave functions, to solve the Schrodinger equation.
