... mission a mission-specific catalogue is needed for guide star selection, attitude determination etc. To generate a mission catalogue a database of stars from many of the available source catalogues is generated. Standard tools for handling star data, such as field of view plotting are also provided within the Star Catalogue Facility. The star catalogue facility is also used at science control ...
... propulsion is assumed to be available for course corrections. The spacecraft, as it nears a star, follows a hyperbolic trajectory. The spacecraft returns by using gravity to "swing" around each of three or more stars, one of which is the Sun.
