Interplanetary Triangulation is triangulation is used to determine the location of an unknown point, by forming a triangle having the unknown point and two known points at the three verticies.

Interplanetary triangulation extends this concept to determining the location of a point in space by using orbiting spacecraft as the two known points of the triangle.
