An outgassing jet model is presented in support of spacecraft navigation for future missions to comets. The outgassing jet is modelled as an emission cone while the comet is modelled as a uniform density triaxial ellipsoid. The comet’s motion about the Sun is included in the model. This model is used for simulation and estimation of the physical outgassing properties of jets at and near the surface of a comet.
