Navigation Method

There is no effectual navigation method to deep space aerocraft until now. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a candidate. Its feasibility was analyzed according to the deep space geometry coverage characteristics. The antenna elevation was optimally designed to maximum the signal coverage performance in deep space. Simulation Results show that the best antenna elevation is 50-90 degrees. At the height of geosynchronous orbit, the average PDOP is 8.63, and at the height of lunar orbit, the positioning accuracy can only be achieved by km level.

Navigation Accuracy

Future deep space missions will benefit from submilliarcsecond angular navigation accuracy (< 25 km projected distance at Neptune). Conventional Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) measurement strategies entail observations of a radio source (RS) and spacecraft pair. To increase the 3–5 milliarcsecond accuracies currently attainable, instrumental improvements could be coupled with either of two methods: 1) Use improved calibration measurements with the single RS as the spacecraft reference, or 2) use a reference frame established by a local network of RS's near the spacecraft to reduce the contribution of sky-dependent error sources. The demanding baseline vector (earth orientation) and tropospheric calibrations needed to realize submilliarcsecond accuracy with the single-source strategy would not be necessary with the multi-source strategy. The two strategies are compared via a sample covariance analysis. In this analysis, the single-source method yields 1.5 milliarcseconds for the navigation accuracy, while the multi-source method yields 0.5 milliarcseconds.
