Astrogation is the planning of a route through space and the actual navigation of spacecraft, either in interplanetary travel or in interstellar travel. Usually, the term is applied to the coordination of slipstream space jumps. While most other operations can be performed by a human pilot, astrogation of slipspace jumps requires a navigation computer or a shipboard artificial intelligence.[1][2]
