The integrated monitoring and control commercial off-the-shelf system (IMACCS), which demonstrates the feasibility of automating spacecraft monitoring and control activities through the use of state modeling, is described together with its use. The use of the system for the control and ground support of the solar, anomalous and magnetic particle explorer (SAMPEX) spacecraft is considered. A key component of IMACCS is the Altair mission control system which implements finite state modeling as an element of its expert system capability. Using the finite state modeling and state transition capabilities of the Altair mission control system, IMACCS features automated monitoring, routine pass support, anomaly resolution and emergency 'lights on again' response. Automatic orbit determination and the production of typical flight dynamics products exists. These functionalities are described.
