The autonomous sciencecraft experiment onboard the EO-1 spacecraft

The Autonomous Sciencecraft Experiment (ASE), currently flying onboard the Earth Observing-1 (EO-I) spacecraft, integrates several autonomy software technologies enabling autonomous science analysis and mission planning. The experiment demonstrates the potential for future space missions to use onboard decision-making to respond autonomously to capture short-lived science phenomena. The AAAI software demonstration will consist of two sections: a real-time display of an ASE-commanded ground contact from the EO-1 spacecraft, and a simulation of the full ASE autonomous science-response scenario.
