The requirements for autonomous control of spacecraft functions have been well articulated by a wide selection of US Air Force mission analyses and architecture studies. The opportunities however, to implement these autonomy functions have been limited. An overview of documented requirements is presented to demonstrate the scope of autonomous functions needed, and potential time frames for implementation is derived. The missed opportunities are analyzed to provide lessons learned, and near term opportunities will be reviewed. The current initiatives at the Phillips Laboratory are described in terms of the requirements addressed and the proposed approaches will show program risk reduction for satellite autonomy technology insertion into space operations.
