Automated planning and scheduling for goal-based autonomous spacecraft

Steve Chien, Ben Smith, G. Rabideau, Nicola Muscettola, Kanna Rajan

Abstract

Automated planning and scheduling technology enables a new class of autonomous spacecraft. We describe our use of symbolic AI in planning systems, provide an overview of the spacecraft-operations domain, and discuss several past, ongoing, and future deployments of planning systems technology at NASA.
