The rapidly increasing numbers and complexity of earth-orbiting satellites in recent decades has placed heavy demands upon telemetry and ground support equipment and personnel to maintain and control the systems. A major thrust of current space program developments is the reduction of dependence upon ground control for normal satellite operations. This paper describes one such experiment currently under development at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), which addresses these needs. The experiment combines an optical polarimeter for measurement of multi-spectral polarization signals of orbiting objects and a system of intelligent software agents, which will provide automated payload and bus control. We discuss the development of the optical system hardware, software agent development, and aspects of the processing and control of information from on-board data.
