Abstract: The deep space autonomous navigation and control is a key technique for the successful implementation of deep space exploration. Based on the urgent need for developing the deep space autonomous navigation and control, the development of deep space autonomous navigation and control is reviewed and analyzed. The emphasis on requirements for deep space autonomous navigation and control and its development trend in the world is analyzed, and the critical techniques of deep space autonomous navigation and control are presented. Finally, the recommendation for the development of deep space autonomous navigation and control is presented on the basis of the analysis.

Key words: deep space exploration, autonomous navigation and control
