Abstract
Planetary exploration will be increasingly carried
on by means of formations/fleets of probes, all of them
having onboard navigation and communication systems. It
is possible to keep these subsystems at a very simple, level
onboard of the probes, and to use some common external
infrastructure to help them in exploiting these tasks. The
common infkastructure could be represented by a network of
satellites orbiting round the planet and providing a data
relay to the Earth and a set of sources for a radionavigation
system.
