The automation of planetary spacecraft at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is discussed. Factors affecting the development of spacecraft automation, such as predictable and repetitive functions and narrow time-window, are analyzed. The volume of command data transmitted to the spacecraft is considered, together with an examination of 'autonomy' (executing functions without outside control) in relation to the ground command activity needed during the mission. The role of the spacecraft's growing computational power in increasing vehicle autonomy is noted.
