A Tall Ship and a Star to Steer Her By

Two visionary innovations were proposed to allow spacecraft to assume the burden of navigation. The first extends the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) to include not only orientation references (quasars), but also time (pulsars) and frequency (maser) references that allow position and velocity to be determined relative to the terrestrial reference frame (TRF) or planetary reference frames (PRFs). The second provides spacecraft with a direct means to determine their own position relative to the ICRF.

Toward n-Ship Computation of Trajectories for Shared Airspace

This paper considers an approach for modelling transport aircraft trajectories that can facilitate their rapid evaluation and modification, either en route or in terminal control areas, with the goal of efficiently making use of airspace and runways by a large population of vehicles without pairwise violation of separation criteria.
