Navigation Solution Concept and Its Practical Approach Development for Lunar Missions

Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Possible approaches to the creation of navigation systems for lunar missions are considered. Radio navigation systems of moderate wavelength are proposed, with a query model of data transmission using a network of stations. A model of the measurements taking account of the Nonius principle is considered. For a system with fixed initial characteristics, that improves the navigational precision without the need for any hardware or software modifications. The operational principle of the proposed navigation system is outlined, and its characteristics are assessed.
