(author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author)Planetary Radio Interferometry and Doppler Experiment (PRIDE) is a multi-purpose experimental technique aimed at enhancing the science return of planetary missions. The technique exploits the science payload and spacecraft service systems without requiring a dedicated onboard instrumentation or imposing on the existing instrumentation any...review 2023

Dirkx, D. (author), Prochazka, Ivan (author), Bauer, Sven (author), Visser, P.N.A.M. (author), Noomen, R. (author), Gurvits, L. (author), Vermeersen, L.L.A. (author)At present, tracking data for planetary missions largely consists of radio observables: range-rate (Doppler), range and angular position (VLBI/Δ DOR). Future planetary missions may use Interplanetary Laser Ranging (ILR) as a tracking observable. Two-way ILR will provide range data that are about 2 orders of magnitude more accurate than radio...journal article 2018
