Standard generic approach for spacecraft intelligence and automation. Phase 1, Volume 1: Executive summary
Abstract
Applications of onboard autonomy and data processing, and the corresponding spacecraft and ground control organization were identified by analyzing the Viking 75 deep space mission and the ERS-1 (ESA satellite) Earth observation mission. Telecommunication satellites, STS, data relay satellites and large space stations were also studied. An approach to spacecraft intelligence and autonomy based on a hierarchical, decentralized system structure, in order to limit failure propagation, simplify interfaces, and improve performance predictability, is proposed. Onboard management is subdivided into routine, crisis, and end product management. Orbit determination and control is autonomous.
