The major elements of the Voyager navigational system are described, within the context of a general review of current interplanetary navigational techniques and equipment. The data processing components of the Voyager navigational system are described, including the ground-based computational facilities and software, and the different support functions. A block diagram of the ground based data processing system is presented. The development of VLBI techniques for a high-precision quasi-relative navigational system to be incorporated into the navigational payload of the Galileo satellite in 1986 is also discussed.
