The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is conducting conceptual studies concerning the development of a future U.S. Space Station. The Space Station navigation, guidance, and control functions must be performed over the projected long lifetime of the station. After examining the pertinent history of U.S. spacecraft, this paper examines how these long-term operations can be achieved, settling on autonomous operations as a desirable goal. The paper concludes with a recommended development approach.
