Paper examines guidance and navigation requirements of Mobile Lunar Laboratory (MOLAB) and describes typical MOLAB mission profile; navigation modes include remote control, normal travers mode, accurate position fix mode, and survey mode; several methods of self-contained navigation are compared leading to selection of stellar-inertial system with laser velocimeter included for primary navigational data; it does not require unobstructed line-of-sight to earth; platform portion appears to be basic ingredient of any system chosen, and continuous navigation data is desired.
