NASA’s deep space missions are dependent on autonomy when conditions require a faster response than can be directed by communication to and from Earth. Verification and Validation (V&V) of the autonomy is an essential step for missions to be confident in its use. This paper provides an overview of the development and V&V of one such autonomous system, DIMES (Descent Image Motion Estimation System), used successfully to reduce a critical mission risk during the landings of NASA’s two Mars Exploration Rovers on Mars in 2004.
