Unconnected phase narrowband Delta VLBI data strategies are evaluated for enhancing deep space cruise navigation and for rapidly redetermining the spacecraft trajectory after a midcourse correction maneuver. Results of a covariance analysis study are presented for a Jupiter bound spacecraft based on a simulated data strategy consisting of daily 10 minute narrowband scans from two baselines augmented with conventional two way range and Doppler passes. For post-maneuver recovery, the narrowband strategy achieves a factor of two improvement in orbit determination performance. Cruise OD performance is also significantly enhanced due to the ability of the narrowband data to accurately sense the orientation of the orbital plane.
