Onboard autonomy on the Three Corner Sat mission
Steve Chien, Barbara E. Engelhardt, R. Knight, G. Rabideau, Rob Sherwood · 2001
Three Corner Sat (3CS) is a mission of 3 university nanosatellites scheduled for launch in late 2002. The 3CS mission will utilize significant autonomy to perform onboard science data validation and replanning. The 3CS mission will use onboard science data validation, responsive replanning, robust execution, and anomaly detection based on multiple models. Demonstration of these capabilities in a flight environment will open up tremendous new opportunities in space-borne science and space exploration that would be unreachable without this technology. 1
