4 Navigations from Ground to Space
can autonomously determine the orbit and time parameters, so as to realize the longtime and high-precision autonomous operation and control of the constellation. In
this way, the future development of X-ray pulsar-based navigation technology is to
achieve the long-time and high-precision autonomous navigation for the navigation
constellation, as an ultimate goal. The autonomous navigation constellation based on
the X-ray pulsars is to use the X-ray signals radiated from the pulsars or the ephemeris
parameters determined by the dedicated pulsar-based LEO satellites, as the external
reference information, without the whole rotation error accumulated with time, so
as to achieve the autonomous operation and control of the constellation for a long
time and with high accuracy. So, the X-ray pulsar-based navigation provides a new
approach for studying the autonomous navigation technology for the spacecrafts and
navigation constellations.
