The pulsar is a high-speed rotating neutron star, with extremely stable periodicity. Especially, the stability of pulse periods of millisecond pulsarsMillisecond pulsar gets to 10−19−10−21 s/s, which is known as the most stable astronomical clock in nature. Pulsar navigationPulsar navigation refers to a process that taking the X-ray photons radiated by the pulsars as natural beacons, spacecrafts autonomously determine their orbit, time and attitude parameters to guide them to fly to the target obits or celestial bodiesCelestial bodies along the designed trajectories safely, effectively and just in time, and its full name is X-rayPulsar-based NavigationX-ray pulsar-based navigation (XPNAV).
