Interplanetary Navigation

Interplanetary Navigation is a specialized branch of spacecraft guidance and control that determines and adjusts the trajectory of a spacecraft during flight between celestial bodies, distinguishing itself by integrating deep-space radio tracking, celestial observations, and precise ephemeris models to achieve autonomous, long-duration mission objectives across interplanetary distances.
