Abstract

PROJECT ARROW TECHNICAL CONCEPT MEMORANDUM NAVIGATION SYSTEM (TRL1 - 2) Relativistic Astrodynamics: A Real-Time N-Body Navigation & Telemetry Framework RANGIS-U — Relativistic Autonomous Navigational & Gravitational Integration System (Universal) This paper defines the architecture for the Relativistic Autonomous Navigational & Gravitational Integration System (RANGIS). Designed for near-light-speed (relativistic) spacecraft, this system solves the N-body problem in real-time by integrating non-Euclidean gravitational perturbations from massive sources (stellar, planetary, neutron stars, and black holes) while dynamically updating the spacecraft's rest mass and relativistic momentum.
