There is a general realization within NASA that -onboard autonomy- is needed. Exact specifications of what that means are often vague at the onset of the mission design process.
A new approach to mission operations has been flight validated on NASA's Deep Space One (DS1) mission that launched in October 1998.

This paper describes how onboard data summarization will be used as part of an overall knowledge management approach for long duration JPL missions.
The DS1 Beacon Monitor Operations Experiment (BMOX) was to demonstrate a new approach in mission operations which can lower mission operations costs.
This paper presents a case study of the knowledge engineering process employed to support the Link Monitor & Control Operator Assistant (LMCOA). The LMCOA is a prototype system which automates equipment used to support space-ground communication with deep space spacecraft in NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN). The primary knowledge base in the LMCOA is the Temporal Dependency Network (TDN). The paper provides a brief background on the DSN, and describes the evolution of the TDN and supporting knowledge bases, the process used for knowledge engineering, and an analysis of the successes--and problems--of the knowledge engineering effort.
