A lightweight missile terminal guidance system 14 is disclosed which includes a seeker 16 for providing a first signal indicative of a first angle e15 from the missile 10 to a target 12 and a longitudinal axis 9 extending through the missile 10. The seeker 16 also provides a second signal indicative of a second angle d9 extending through the missile 10 and a line-of-sight 11 between the missile 10 and a celestial body 13. A processor 18 is included for computing the line-of-sight angle s15 from the missile 10 to the target 12 and the line-of-sight 11 from the missile 10 to the celestial body 13 from the first and second angles ed24 computes acceleration commands from the line-of-sight s26 to change the velocity vector of the missile 10 in response thereto.
