A new NASA interplanetary flight project, called Jupiter Orbiter Probe (JOP), has been recently approved by Congress. JOP involves a dual mission intended to explore the planet Jupiter and its environment with an atmospheric probe and a planetary orbiter spacecraft. The probe and orbiter vehicles are to be launched in tandem as a single spacecraft during the time from December 1981 to January 1982. The spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter at the earliest on November 14, 1984. Navigating the JOP spacecraft will be a critical task for the JOP mission. Attention is given to aspects of probe and orbiter delivery, Jupiter orbit insertion and perijove raise, the Satellite Tour, navigation development and the navigation system, the probe delivery, example orbits, velocity perturbation and correction, orbit determination characteristics, orbit determination and control profile, and the correction velocity requirements.
