DESCRIPTION:Spacecraft orbits seemingly trace out beautiful conic shapes in
  space\, but designing these trajectories is only half of the story\; know
 ing where and when a spacecraft is\, and how fast it’s moving\, is the a
 rt and science of spacecraft navigation. Dr. Matthew Givens\, a senior spa
 ce navigation engineer at Advanced Space LLC\, will share historical and t
 echnical insights from this field as well as some perilous stories from th
 e journey of his company’s flagship space mission\, the Cislunar Autonom
 ous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment (CA
 PSTONE)\, which launched in 2022 and has been orbiting in a Near Rectiline
 ar Halo Orbit (NRHO) near the Moon ever since. CAPSTONE has been a testbed
  for several autonomous navigation and communication technologies and\, in
  partnership with NASA\, has pioneered operations and station-keeping stra
 tegies in NRHO for future Lunar Gateway space station.\n\nHow do we naviga
 te spacecraft? What challenges are there for future human colonization of 
 the Moon? What technologies are being developed to address these challenge
 s? These and other questions will be the subject of this presentation for 
 the AIAA Utah Section.\n\nCo-sponsored by: AIAA Utah Section\n\nSpeaker(s)
