Navigation operations is the process of identifying a destination, finding the path to the destination, and performing the necessary tasks to transport a vehicle to the destination along with the passengers which may be people or science instruments. Planetary navigation operations consists mainly of collecting data from a number of sources, inputting this data to navigation software, determining the orbit, computing trajectory correction maneuvers, and transmitting maneuver commands to the spacecraft. The navigation operations team is comprised of individuals who are highly educated and dedicated. Their job is to analyze the navigation system and prepare solutions for problems that may arise as well as perform the routine navigation operations. The job can be frustrating because interesting problems arise quickly and often have no solution. Most of the time is spent doing routine operations.
