Abstract
To reduce the cost of future space flight missions andto perform new science, NASA has been investigatingautonomous ground and space flight systems. These goalsof cost reduction have been further complicated byNASA's plans to use constellations and swarms ofnanosatellites for future science data-gathering whichmay entail large communications delays and loss ofcontact with ground control for extended periods of time.This paper describes two prototype agent-based systems,the Lights-out Ground Operations System (LOGOS) andthe Agent Concept Testbed (ACT), and their autonomicproperties that were developed at NASA Goddard SpaceFlight Center (GSFC) to demonstrate autonomousoperations of future space flight missions. The paperdiscusses the architecture of the two agent-based systems,operational scenarios of both, and the two systems'autonomic properties.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
