It's still pretty common in space stuff. From Wikipedia ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_navigation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_navigation):
A variation on terrestrial celestial navigation was used to help orient the Apollo spacecraft en route to and from the Moon. To this day, space missions, such as the Mars Exploration Rover use star trackers to determine the attitude of the spacecraft.
