https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_Star_Interior_Composition_Explorer An enhancement to the NICER mission, the Station Explorer for X-ray Timing and Navigation Technology(SEXTANT), will act as a technology demonstrator for X-ray pulsar-based navigation (XNAV) techniques that may one day be used for deep-space navigation.
