Over the years demand on space systems have been increased tremendously and this trend will continue for the near future. The enhanced capabilities of space systems, however, can only be met with increased complexity and sophistication of onboard and ground systems, and artificial intelligence and expert system concepts have a significant role in space applications. Expert systems could facilitate decision making, improved fault diagnosis and repair, enhanced performance and less reliance on ground support. However, some requirements have to be fulfilled before practical use of flight-worthy expert systems for onboard (and ground) operations. This paper discusses some of the characteristics and important considerations in design, development, implementation and use of expert systems for real-life space applications. Further, it describes a typical life cycle of expert system development and its usage.
