MARS PATHFINDER MISSION STATUS
12 October 1997, 2:00 p.m. PDT
A spurious signal was apparently seen today from Mars Pathfinder, However
when a second larger Deep Space Network antenna was brought on point,
the signal was not observed. Tomorrow, we are hoping to see a
40 minute carrier-only signal from the spacecraft. The frequency range of
the downlink sweep was increased to help better detect the signal from the
Mars Pathfinder spacecraft.
