## The “Navigator” Astronavigation Software System

Transactions of IAA RAS, issue 46, 87–93 (2018)

Keywords: astronavigation system, vessel’s location determination, compass corrections, azimuth method, elevation method.

### Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the “Navigator” software system on the example of its solutions for some naval astronavigation tasks using various methods. The “Navigator” System does not calculate only the ephemeris data being the electronic version of "The Naval Astronomical Yearbook". It solves also many standard naval astronavigation problems of vessel tracking and compass correction. At this stage, the system determines the vessel’s location using the elevation method during its simultaneous or non-simultaneous observations of 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars, two non-simultaneous observations of the Sun, and the azimuth method during its simultaneous observations of 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars. Also, it makes compass corrections by Polaris. Tasks are inputted via its graphical interface. Solutions are presented either in the graphical form or as a text of the decision protocol.
