....best prediction of spacecraft behavior is that the goals will be achieved on schedule. The Remote Agent has been designed to support multi level commanding and monitoring in order to enable ground controllers to adjust the level of autonomy they desire across different activities or mission phases [1]. 4. REMOTE AGENT DESIGN APPROACH AND ARCHITECTURE . The New Millennium Autonomy Architecture rapid Prototype (NewMaap) effort [2] identified the key contributing technologies: on board planning and replanning, multi threaded smart executive, and modelbased failure diagnosis and repair. In ....

....the next waypoint in the mission profile. For example, a waypoint constraint specifies the amount of propellant that must be available for future use. By adding waypoint constraints to the current plan request, MM restricts PS to generate only plans that are coherent with the overall mission plan [61]. Hence, PS receives from MM and EXEC the initial spacecraft conditions, the goals for the next scheduling horizon, and the waypoint constraints. It produces a plan, which can be viewed as a high level program that EXEC must follows in order to achieve the required goals. Figure 3 shows the ....

....we had to extend the RA architecture to address the broader operational context in which the RA would be used. The key insight we gained was that, while extreme autonomy is necessary for certain mission phases, also essential is support for human interaction when such interaction is possible [61, 8]. Such an approach offers two key benefits. First, the ability to draw on human expertise, especially in anomalous conditions, can simplify the design of the system and increase the chance of mission success. Second, designers and operators can automate capabilities incrementally, rather than ....

.... autonomously for extended periods of time, and is being demonstrated on the Deep Space One spacecraft (DS 1) scheduled to launch October, 1998 [ Bernard et al. 1998 ] A prototype of RA was also tested on a complex simulated Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) scenario for the Cassini spacecraft [ Pell et al. 1998a ] However, RA is not limited to controlling spacecraft. RA is a general agent architecture that is applicable to a wide variety of applications; we are currently applying it to communication satellites and rovers, with possible future applications to life support systems, autonomous propellant ....

....to life support systems, autonomous propellant manufacturing, and space and earth based interferometers. The Remote Agent itself comprises four components: a Mission Manager (MM) a Planner Scheduler (PS) a Smart Executive (EXEC) and a Mode Identification and Reconfiguration component (MIR) Pell et al. 1998a, Muscettola et al. 1998b ] The architecture is shown in Figure 1. This paper focuses on EXEC. Mission Manager (MM) MM is special module of the planner that formulates shorter term planning problems based on a long range mission profile. The mission profile, which is provided at launch, ....
