Onboard Autonomy on the Earth Observing One Mission

Abstract

The Earth Observing One Spacecraft is currently flying The Autonomous Sciencecraft Experiment (ASE) - onboard autonomy software to improve science return. The ASE software enables the spacecraft to autonomously detect and respond to science events occurring on the Earth. ASE includes software systems that perform science data analysis, mission planning, and run-time robust execution. In this article we describe the autonomy flight software and how it enables a new paradigm of autonomous science and mission operations.

Enabling Autonomous On-Board Trouble-Shooting

As NASA missions reach deeper into space, a few crew members will need to do the work of 10s-100s of Ground Controllers, most significantly, in critical areas such as trouble-shooting anomalies that could result in loss of crew or loss of mission. Understanding what the risk is of these sorts of events based on the history of the International Space Station allows us to anticipate how critical this challenge will be for future crewed missions, and allowing us to define the research that must be carried out in order to establish Standards, Guidelines and Requirements for on-board intelligent technologies that can assist crew as needed.
