“…Its on-board computed navigation data would substitute for nominally provided ground trajectory course maneuver updates. Its development followed a traditional waterfall software development lifecycle with periodic major reviews, progressing from TRL 3 to TRL 8 while adhering to the NASA Software Engineering Requirements standard, NASA NPR 7150.2B, and the practices of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 3 [77]. Formal validation and certification of OpNav is planned during the outbound leg of the Artemis I mission, to bring it to TRL 9.…”

Technology Readiness Levels are a mainstay for organizations that fund, develop, test, acquire, or use technologies. Technology Readiness Levels provide a standardized assessment of a technology's maturity and enable consistent comparison among technologies. They inform decisions throughout a technology's development life cycle, from concept, through development, to use. A variety of alternative Readiness Levels have been developed, including Algorithm Readiness Levels, Manufacturing Readiness Levels, Human Readiness Levels, Commercialization Readiness Levels, Machine Learning Readiness Levels, and Technology Commitment Levels. However, while Technology Readiness Levels have been increasingly applied to emerging disciplines, there are unique challenges to assessing the rapidly developing capabilities of autonomy. This paper adopts the moniker of Space Trusted Autonomy Readiness Levels to identify a two-dimensional scale of readiness and trust appropriate for the special challenges of assessing autonomy technologies that seek space use. It draws inspiration from other readiness levels' definitions, and from the rich field of trust and trustworthiness.
