Abstract
Reviews the major fundamental tasks (measurement acquisition, trajectory estimation and trajectory control) needed to navigate spacecraft from Earth to other bodies in our solar system. It is an interdisciplinary process, made possible with contributions from physicists, mathematicians, electrical engineers, and computer scientists, to name a few. Although the example covered today was an interplanetary mission, the navigation tasks are similar for Earth-orbiting vehicles as well
