Declination is a celestial coordinate that is used to measure the degrees of latitude above or below the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. DEEP SPACE 1 Deep Space 1 (DS1) was a NASA mission that was launched on October 24, 1998. DS1 tested 12 new advanced technologies in deep space, including ion propulsion, solar arrays, a deep space transponder, autonomous navigation systems, a miniature integrated camera spectrometer, etc. DS1's primary mission ended in September 1999.

| declination |
the angle between true (geographic) north and magnetic north (direction of the compass needle). Declination varies from place to place and can be 'set' on a compass for a particular location.
