Paper is concerned with on-board optical determination of orbits; analytical considerations involved in determination of orbit from optical measurements on-board orbiting vehicle; by using method outlined, relatively few observations are necessary to damp state uncertainties to within mission requirements; effect of various error sources (such as mapping uncertainties, platform drift and misalignment) on Earth and lunar orbital navigation on error buildup, and use of externally derived navigational data are treated from optimal filter point-of-view.
