Navigation of planetary spacecraft requires determining a nominal design trajectory that obeys the laws of physics and has a high probability of achieving mission success within the constraints of the mission objectives and the cost of the spacecraft design and mission operations. The cost of spacecraft design and mission operations is related to the probability of successfully performing the mission. Therefore, the trajectory designer and navigator must give as much attention to the mathematics of probability and statistics as to the laws of physics.
