A ballistic sample return mission to Comet Halley was recently considered by the United States. This paper describes the navigation system and the navigation strategy which would have been employed in such a mission, assuming a launch in August of 1985, an arrival at the comet in March of 1986, and a return to earth in August of 1989. Estimates of spacecraft comet- and earth-relative orbit determination accuracies are presented as functions of time. Target-relative delivery accuracies for the spacecraft and associated trajectory correction maneuver requirements are presented also.
