Abstract
This study was initially undertaken to understand how commonalities among the application of proven automation processes such as aircraft control, nuclear power generation, auto manufacturing, etc. could be applied to spacecraft operations at NASA. These industries applied automation to reduce human repetitive task and mitigate risk, rather than create complete "lights out" operations as was the goal at NASA.
