Abstract The philosophy of “faster, better, cheaper” reflected NASA’s desire to achieve its goals while realistically addressing the changing environment in which it operated. One outgrowth of this philosophy is the shift from performing science missions using a few complex spacecraft to one where many simple spacecraft are employed. While simple spacecraft are faster and cheaper to build and operate, they do not always deliver better science. There must be offsetting compensation for any loss of power to deliver science value by employing innovative technologies and new methodologies that exploit the use of less complex spacecraft. One such technology is cooperative autonomy. Cooperative autonomy flows from the study of groups of individuals in terms of how they are organized, how they communicate, and how they operate together to achieve their mission. The individuals, in the context of space missions, may be human beings, spacecraft, software agents, or a mission operations center. From modeling and studying the cooperative organization and the interactions between its members come insights into possible new efficiencies and new technologies for developing more powerful space missions by which to do science more cost effectively.
