Potential benefits which expert systems offer the European space industry are discussed. Ground based applications are emphasized. Command, control, and fault diagnosis of spacecraft; the monitoring of complex operations at the launch site; planning and scheduling project work and spacecraft and crew activities; monitoring and control of spacecraft tests; handbook automation; and design are considered. It is clear that expert systems have a useful role to play in all of these areas. Because the space industry is a low volume industry, however, careful consideration must always be given to whether sufficient benefits will accrue from a planned expert system to justify the effort required to build it. A review of progress in the US in developing space-related expert systems, and recommendations on how expert system development should be documented are included.
