Abstract
In this paper, flight-path deviation in the navigation of unmanned space vehicles by global positioning system (GPS) is analyzed. A new method to calculate flight-path deviation by means of coordinate transforming is presented and the software of navigation and control is designed. This software is practical and effective for navigation by GPS with some characteristics including high-speed, high accuracy, real-time positioning and the use of digital mapping technique
