Hi Ole,

"Spacecraft Navigation" sounds good enough to me, I wouldn't say
"satellite/spacecraft" though, since satellites are actually a kind of
spacecraft.

If you want some alternatives I would go for something around
"Simulation" or "Modeling". To distinguish it from the other
"Simulation" section which is more about Astrophysics Simulation, maybe
use "Spacecraft Simulation", "Spacecraft Performance Modeling" or
"Spacecraft Operation Modeling".

As for the description I would suggest something like "Spacecraft
mission analysis, design and simulation".

Regards,
Rock
