Strategic Objectives
• Master the mechanics of X-ray pulsars as autonomous cosmic beacons.
• Understand the transition from satellite-dependent GPS to celestial-based XNAV.
• Explore the cutting-edge hardware making autonomous interstellar travel possible.
• Discover how relativistic timing ensures precision across light-years of travel.
The Core Challenge
Deep space missions currently rely on Earth-based tracking, creating a dangerous dependency that fades as we venture further into the solar system.
