One embodiment is directed towards a method of navigating a body. The method includes determining a respective measured direction of each of a plurality of celestial objects with respect to the body based on an output of one or more star tracking sensors mounted to the body. Calculating an expected direction of at least one of the plurality of celestial objects with respect to the body based on a current navigation solution for the body. Calculating an updated navigation solution for the body based on the expected direction of the at least one celestial object, the measured direction of the plurality of celestial objects, and an output of one or more inertial sensors mounted to the body.
