Astrogation

Astrogation‏‎

is the act of navigating a vessel through space. It includes the plotting of course, the path a vessel must follow from origin to destination. Many different methods exist. A being engaged in Astrogation is an Astrogator.

It should be noted that the United Stars Spatial Navy is not using this term and still used the term Navigation and Navigator. This term is offical and ratified.

However the term Astrogator and Astrogation is often used to describe this activity and position on civilian ships.

In some regions and communities the term Astronavigation and Astronavigator is still used.
