Definition
The science and practice of navigating spacecraft and celestial vehicles through space using astronomical observations, star charts, and mathematical calculations.
Etymology
From 'astro-' (star) + '-gation' (from navigation). This term developed in aerospace and science fiction contexts, creating a specialized term for space-based navigation.
Kelly Says
Astrogation combines two ancient human skills—stargazing and navigation—but amplified to interplanetary scales; it's why Voyager 1's journey required fewer course corrections than a cross-country flight, proving the math was perfect.
