In most cases, intelligent control technologies that could enable spaceflight systems to operate autonomously or with reduced human supervision are seen as unacceptable sources of risk and not flown. This paper examines the reasons for lack of trust in these technologies and overviews efforts to enhance the technology and to define systems engineering practices that improve reliability and earn trust.
