The interplanetary navigation of a spacecraft requires precise calculation of trajectory correction maneuver parameters. Velocity increments must be found which make the required corrections, minimize propellant consumption, and do not violate hardware design constraints or scientific objectives. This process is illustrated by its application to the Galileo Mission. The paper describes inflight analysis techniques, mathematical modeling, and computational algorithms used in the precision maneuver calculation scenario.
