The potential development of autonomous onboard navigation systems for future space missions is discussed. Motivations for autonomy in the near-earth satellite program and in deep-space navigation are examined, emphasizing lower mission-operation costs for the first, and reduction of ground-system complexity as well as encounter accuracy for the latter. Uses of navigation parameters by the Information Adaptive System, including sensor-pointing computation and image correction, are noted, as are the accuracy parameters of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System. The role of autonomous onboard navigation in contact exploration of Neptune's and Uranus's satellites as well as in such extreme-high-velocity encounters as those with retrograde comets is investigated. The Automated Optical Navigation program is described
