A report proposes a method to increase the accuracy of Doppler measurements made at the beginnings and endings of Earth/spacecraft radio occultations. Such measurements can reveal structural details of occulting objects in outer space. Heretofore, one-way measurements have been used, and have been subject to degradation of accuracy by frequency fluctuations of an onboard oscillator.
