Abstract

In this paper, we propose novel methods to increase total luminosity and decrease error propagation during subluminal or luminal interstellar transits by navigation with star maps. We demonstrate with theoretical and simulation models in first order approximation results that are correlated to eccentric and concentric of light bands, ebbing and ascending of light streaks, and centric of celestial distance. Finally our models show that both near-field and far-field celestial objects enhance error correction and navigation vectors even when the traveling speed is approaching the speed-of-light. We demonstrate that our method of varying a spaceship's primary axis rotational rate and angle of approach are superior than traveling at a straight line, especially when the traveling speed is approaching or exceeding the speed of light.
