Abstract In this book, we have examined technologies for system autonomy and autonomicity. We have considered what it means for a system to be autonomous and autonomic, and have projected how the concepts might be applied to spacecraft and other aspects of NASA missions. We discussed current spacecraft ground and flight operations, described how autonomy and autonomic technology is currently applied to NASA missions, and identified the areas where additional autonomy could be beneficially effective. We also considered artificial intelligence techniques that could be applied to current and future missions to provide additional autonomy and autonomicity. We now proceed to identify factors that drive the use of new technology and discuss the necessity of software reliability for space missions. We will discuss certain future missions and their needs for autonomy and autonomic technology, and finally will consider the NASA strategic plan and the manner in which autonomy and autonomic systems may be involved in supporting that plan.
