Navigation Filter Best Practices
This work identifies best practices for onboard navigation filtering algorithms. These best practices have been collected by NASA practitioners of the art and science of navigation over the first 50 years of the Space Age. While this is a NASA document concerned with space navigation, it is likely that many of the principles would apply equally to the wider navigation community.
