NASA CoNtributioNS to it

D eep space presents numerous hazards and harsh conditions for remote exploration missions, which must often operate autonomously without intervention from Earth. To increase the survivability of the remote missions, NASA is exploiting principles and techniques that help such systems become more resilient through selfmanagement and automatic adaptation. By adhering to the principles of autonomi...
