This review considers the problem of autonomously determining the position of a spacecraft in space based on the analysis of pulses emitted by X-ray pulsars. The characteristics of the prospective equipment and lists of pulsar candidates for reference sources are given. The navigation algorithm and resulting accuracy characteristics are substantiated.
