Abstract-New technologies are required to enable more efficient spacecraft flight and ground systems. The everpresent search to reduce costs, reduce reaction times and improve performance, leads to the development of systems that can produce like human experts without requiring humans in the control loop. The ultimate goal is an Autonomous Thinking Spacecraft that reacts to its environment and plans its own activities to achieve the mission goals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
