In comparison with conventional range and Doppler, VLBI data from a spacecraft and an angularly nearby extragalactic radio source have the potential of providing significant improvements in deep space navigation performance. Observations of the Voyager spacecraft at Saturn, the Pioneer orbiter at Venus, and clusters of natural radio sources are being used to validate these new navigation data types. This paper briefly describes a few of the navigation applications of VLBI, and gives estimates of the measurement accuracies that can be achieved. Recent results are presented which show current VLBI system accuracy at or near the expected level.
