Pulsar Navigation

Pulsar Navigation is a spacecraft navigation method that determines position and timing in deep space by measuring the arrival times of periodic signals from an array of stable millisecond pulsars, distinguished from other celestial navigation techniques by its reliance on the intrinsic rotational regularity of neutron stars as natural cosmic beacons.
