In this paper, the problem of spacecraft navigation in the vicinity of the focal line of a solar gravitational lens is investigated. The proposed method uses a convolutional neural network for predicting spacecraft position by processing images of extended distant source. Firstly, the relations between the spacecraft's position and the source's position are given. Then, image modeling and preprocessing stages are described. With respect to specifics of the image, a convolutional neural network for direct position prediction is designed. Then, a Kalman filtration is applied for spacecraft's velocity estimation by processing neural networks' output. The numerical experiments show that the proposed navigation system can estimate position with a mean error of 31 thousand kilometers and velocity with a mean error of 1 meter per second.
