The JPL Navigation and Mission Design Section has two related tasks: Mission Design: calculate a nominal trajectory which meets the diverse needs of the scientists on a particular mission. Locate deterministic maneuvers required to fly the nominal trajectory, while locating statistical maneuvers which correct errors in the actual trajectory. Navigation estimates the flight path of a spacecraft (orbit determination) using three fundamental data sets: ground based astrometric data; radio metric tracking data (Doppler, range).
