Deep space positioning system |
| 摘要 |
A single, compact, lower power deep space positioning system (DPS) configured to determine a location of a spacecraft anywhere in the solar system, and provide state information relative to Earth, Sun, or any remote object. For example, the DPS includes a first camera and, possibly, a second camera configured to capture a plurality of navigation images to determine a state of a spacecraft in a solar system. The second camera is located behind, or adjacent to, a secondary reflector of a first camera in a body of a telescope. |

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first camera configured to capture at least one navigation image, and a second camera configured to capture at least one other navigation image, to determine a state of at least one object in a solar system, wherein the second camera is located behind a secondary reflector of the first camera, or has an optical path through a mirror on the secondary reflector, in a body of a telescope, or mounted adjacent to the first camera. |
