In mid-2003, we will fly software to detect science events that will drive autonomous scene selection onboard the New Millennium Earth Observing 1 (EO- 1) spacecraft. This software will demonstrate the potential for future space missions to use onboard decision-making to detect science events and respond autonomously to capture short -lived science events and to downlink only the highest value science data. .
