The feasibility of the entire process of 
-ray tracking is demonstrated experimentally for the first time. The accuracy of the results is tested by the capability for Doppler correction of -rays emitted in flight. The resolution of the 847.8 keV (
) transition detected with the MARS detector after Coulomb excitation of a 56Fe beam could be improved from 15 keV to below 5 keV (FWHM).
