Interplanetary spacecraft are controlled with sets of onboard commands called 'sequences' that control the spacecraft for hours, days, or weeks depending upon the craft and its current activity phase. The sequence-checking problem, with some examples from practical experience, and the technical challenges of implementing sequence checking on a parallel computer are presented. Hypercube applications including computational-physics problems, 'optimistic' and 'conservative' categories are discussed. Finally, future development and prototype ways of balancing the checking network across the hypercube nodes, handling time dependencies among the checks, and minimizing communication are described.
