AbstractDynamical constants and other fundamental reference parameters for Mars have been derived from analyses of Viking lander ranging and Doppler tracking data covering a time span of nearly four years. Precise values have been obtained for the coordinates of the spin axis and for the rotation rate, suggesting that these Viking-derived values are definitive and are suitable for adoption by the IAU. Preliminary results have been obtained for a small seasonal variation in the rotation rate, and progress has been made toward a direct determination of the precession constant.
