The paper examines the problem of the optimum distribution of a given number of navigation measurements when determining a landing site for a spacecraft on a planet's surface. In the problem considered, the distance and radial velocity are measured from points on earth, while solar zenith distance is measured from the spacecraft. The spur of the correlation matrix of the predicted deviations of the spacecraft coordinates from a reference point is analyzed in the capacity of a minimized function. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained, and concrete recommendations are made for the distribution of measurements when there are limits on the angular positions of reference stars.
