22. How do we know where the hotel will be when we want to go there? How will we find it in space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Road signs or Map Quest will not work. The hotel will have instruments on board that can answer three questions: Where am I? How am I oriented? Where is everything else? These data will be transmitted to ground control through communication satellites. We can use this information, verify it with our own readings from the ground, and use it to plot our course so we know how and when to reach the hotel in space.
