Scientific paper
The subject of navigation of the Venus Radar Mapper (VRM) spacecraft is presented in the light of challenges to the accomplishment of a high accuracy in spacecraft navigation, within operational constraints, in support of quality science return (sensor performance) for the VRM mission. The paper addresses major navigational challenges arising from inherent mission constraints and describes current navigational plans as well as expected performance. The VRM mission will be the first mission to use radio interferometric data on a daily basis for spacecraft navigation. While the dependency on narrowband Delta-VLBI data for navigation accuracy has been shown in this paper, aspects of scheduling, transmission, correlation, and reliability of VLBI observations for VRM operational use remain complex. Implementation of such a system for successful VRM navigation will constitute a significant advance in application of VLBI technology.
