You know the masses of celestial bodies relatively well from their observed trajectories and it is not too difficult to include relativistic corrections in your calculations (though active corrections using thruster will still be extremely helpful).
I imagine finding the best trajectory in the first place to be the more difficult and interesting problem.
(Not an ESA guy, just wanna-be-condensed matter physicist.)
