Scientists and astronomers have been tracking the paths of the planets, the sun, the stars, the moon and asteroids for a very long time. Their movements and the effect of their gravity is predictable and can be calculated with great precision mathematically. That math can be applied to the flight plan for spacecrafts to make sure the craft takes off and lands exactly where it’s supposed to.
