An integrated approach to surface relative optical landmark tracking for spacecraft is being developed. Landmarks are defined as full digital topography/albedo maps and are determined from previous imaging and navigation data. Initially, this technique will speed up ground based optical navigation. Ultimately, it will enable on-board trajectory determination during orbital and landing maneuvers.
