Abstract

On a mission to other planets, the crew would come across situations and challenges that have not been foreseen even by experienced engineers, designers, scientists and previous explorers. This paper considers existing problem solving approaches that can help structure the development of ‘troubleshooting support tools’ for autonomous crews during long-duration missions. It also considers the suitability of these problem solving techniques for crew autonomous operations.
