The Expert Operator's Associate (EOA) project which studies the applicability of expert systems for day to day space operations is described. A prototype expert system is developed, which operates together with an existing spacecraft control system at the European Space Operations Center and functions as an operator's assistant in controlling satellites. The prototype is demonstrated using an existing real-time simulation model of the MARECS-B2 spacecraft. By developing a prototype system the reliability and effectiveness of operations that can be enhanced by such means are investigated. Questions of acquisition and representation of knowledge for such systems, and the feasibility of migration of some (currently) groundbased functions into future spaceborne autonomous systems are discussed.
