Description:
The estimation of trajectory correction requirements for the Outer Planets Grand Tour (OPGT) missions poses a unique and many-faceted problem for the systems analyst. In this paper the navigation concept for the OPGT is developed and illustrated. The limiting accuracies and performance of the combined radio/onboard optical system are examined. The combined orbit determination system is characterized by its accuracy and by its system risks. Such considerations are included with the statistical combination of maneuver estimates to produce preliminary delta V estimates for the planned OPGT missions.
