Abstract:
Only two global deep-space tracking networks are operating
now in the world: in Russia and in the USA.
Although the Russian and American networks solve similar
tasks on implementation of the deep-space vehicles control, the
aids of these networks have got no technical compatibility present
obstacles to their.

These differencies are caused mainly by the peculiarities
in the combined usage in interests of international co-operation.
It is shown in the report the manner, in which the collaboration
of Russia and the USA in the deep-space.

The ways how to organize the Russian-American co-operation
on the deep-space investigation and how to reach the technical
compatibility of the tracking network aids and needed infrast-
ructures are shown in the report.  Also are presented the results
of experimental sessions of TM data reception from the USA space-
craft "Voyager" by the Russian station in Ussuriisk which was
additionally equipped with necessary equipment as well as the
results of Doppler measurements sessions.
