Hi Hal,
> Why are X-Ray pulsars better than radio pulsars for navigation? > My impression is that it's easier to manage all-sky coverage at x-ray with a small spacecraft package (I think millisecond pulsars generally emit at both microwave and x-ray). Also there's some interstellar scintillation at microwave frequencies, which would hurt short-term timing performance (something like the ionosphere's effect on terrestrial GNSS).
