Why is that interesting? He was wrong.

From the same data Newton calculated 310 000 km/s. But it was for the

Newton died almost 300 years ago and we have much better data since then,

Speed of light in space is known thanks Roemer.s method. Now are radio
transmitters on the Mars and is possibility to use the Roemer's method
for radio waves. NASA know the results. Are thy pulished?

Of course, they're published. Widely. I would check Journal of
Geophysical Research or similar publications.

As a practical matter, precise measurements of the time of flight
to/from a spacecraft is used to figure out where the spacecraft is and
its radial velocity.

Typical range accuracy is on the order of a few meters, velocities good
to a few cm/s, for something at the orbit of Neptune or Uranus.

Precise doppler measurements are used for radio science experiments,
e.g. to determine the internal structure of a planet or moon by
precisely measuring the orbit of a satellite. A typical performance for
such a measurement is 1 part in 1E15 over 1000 seconds at 32 GHz or
8GHz.

Roemer's method is the one way measurement. See:
http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath203/kmath203.htm

We know where Jovian is so the one way measurement is possible. With
spacecraft it is impossible.

not true. We do one way measurements from spacecraft all the time. A high
quality oscillator (aka USO)is used to generate a set of phase coherent
signals at different frequencies.

Look at PN ranging or Sequential Ranging.

But the Mars is the best. Are available data for the Mars?

Lately the one way is possible with the Mars. But independently for radio
waves and light. Mars has the satellite and radio transmitter.

As do Jupiter, Saturn, and outer planets

I don't know why Mars would be the best..

But you might start with googling "ranging Mars radiometric" or
something like that.
Or the usual tracking down the papers thing starting with one that talks
about it, and will have references.
http://seismo.berkeley.edu/~manga/folkner.pdf might give a start.
One of the footnotes mentions Viking data at S-band.

Journal of Geophysical Research (aka JGR) is where a lot of this seems
to show up.

You could search for works by authors who do this kind of thing, too.
Folkner, Asmar, Oudrhiri, Iess, Armstrong are all worth searching for.
I'd do a search for the author name AND "ranging"



For more "raw data" try the NASA Planetary Data System archive
http://pds.nasa.gov/

You're going to be on your own to find the relevant data files. Try
"radio science" as a search term.

Probably is possible to measure the optic signal from the Mars satellite. If
yes, we have the direct comparison light - radio waves.
Radio transmitter can be installed only on the Mars.

For me will be enough your steatment if speed of light and radio waves were
measured in different regions of the Solar System.
Katz: http://ipnpr.jpl.nasa.gov/progress_report/42-65/65I.PDF
wrote that the electron temperatures are from 10^4 to 10^6. Look at Fig 2.
Place the Mars instead a spacecraft. Between (a) and (c) should be some
differences.

I don't think that there is any way to "see" a satellite at Mars.
Perhaps if one did some sort of Moon/mars occultation?

There are precision transmitters suitable for this kind of measurement
at many places in the Solar System.

I'll assert that propagation through interplanetary space is moderately
well understood and matches all modern models of electromagnetic behavior.

Are you asking if the calculations in Katz's paper for the two paths
have been experimentally verified? I don't know..
Certainly he predicts that the temporal dispersion is going to be 0.1ps
for near IR, which is, shall we say, challenging to measure.

measuring things to tenths of a picosecond, repeatably, can be tricky..
That's like measuring the phase difference between two 10 GHz signals
to 0.3 degrees. Or, another way to look at it is 1 picolightsecond is
about a third of a millimeter.

You're looking at
a) figuring out how to generate two signals at near IR that has a
frequency offset that can be accurately controlled. Probably some sort
of heterodyne mixing scheme would be easiest.
b) sending those two signals over the optical path through
interplanetary space.
c) recovering the signals, measuring the propagation time variation
(say, by looking at the phase difference between the modulation
signals), and then removing atmospheric effects.
d) it's probably going to be a pretty weak signal, so you'll need to
average. That means your measurement system has to be picosecond stable
over the averaging interval.

None of those steps are particularly simple or easy.

I've worked on systems to measure the (microwave) distance to Jupiter
and back with an accuracy of around 1 part in 1E15 at 32 GHz,
integrating over 1000 seconds. That's tenths of a picosecond out of 1000
seconds. It's challenging.
