ZA685 Rocket's Homing Navigation System
Electronic/radio-based navigation subsystem of the ZA685 rocket, separate from the propulsion system. Adapted by Zoe to lock onto Phipps' radio distress signal, enabling a tail-first landing on Moonbase despite the Ice Warriors' occupation. Operates independently of the propulsion system and is functional when the homing equipment is used, solving the crew's stranding problem.
