Spacecrafts are nowadays mainly guided by Deep Space Network (DSN) radio telescopes. Stellar sensors can only provide the attitude (orientation) of the probe. The increasing number of spacecrafts, the use of ion thrusters involving the abandonment of ballistic trajectories, will raise the load on DSN tracking arrays. Totally autonomous navigation is becoming essential. A probe must be able to « take a bearing », like a ship at sea, except that the environment is a three-dimensionnal space (four, with time). So far, spacecrafts have experimented autonomous navigation only while approaching a planet, using onboard mapping. A few automated space missions have allowed to explore asteroids, to get close to comets or to photography the Moon. But ...
