Mission Operations of Earth Observing-1 with Onboard Autonomy
Abstract
Space mission operations are extremely labor and knowledge-intensive and are driven by the ground and flight systems. Inclusion of an autonomy capability can have dramatic effects on mission operations. We describe the prior, labor and knowledge intensive mission operations flow for the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) spacecraft as well as the new autonomous operations as part of the Autonomous Sciencecraft Experiment (ASE)

An autonomous system can make informed choices on its own, even when encountering uncertainty or unanticipated events within its environment.
“In contrast, an autonomous system can make informed choices on its own, even when encountering uncertainty or unanticipated events within its environment [119].”

“For example, by using the Autonomous Sciencecraft Experiment to automatically plan and adaptively [112, 113],[111] re-plan observations as required the EO-1 spacecraft was able to cut operational costs by $1 M per year, with a 50% increase in science return [118].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
