Abstract
This book has proposed a new approach for navigation of spacecraft in space employing X-ray pulsar measurements. The presented approach is applicable for both absolute and relative navigation problems. Pulsars emitting in the X-ray band were chosen because of their stable period and their geometric distribution in the sky map. The main advantage of using X-ray pulsars for navigation is that relatively small size detectors can be used for detection of the X-ray photons on board a spacecraft. This facilitates the spacecraft design procedure.
