Continuous improvement in subsystem design and implementation of new technologies is paving the way to a new generation of unmanned spacecrafts, which will evolve more and more into autonomous systems. Autonomy characteristics cannot cope with the current philosophy of Mission Control Center (MCC) operations, which is based on a more or less unique definition of a 'nominal status', any deviation from which has to be evaluated and managed by the human expert. The current concept of the characteristics of a future generation of spacecraft defining functional characteristics of a mission control center for future unmanned space missions is discussed.
