“…The Huygens Probe Relay with Cassini was successfully accomplished on 14 January 2005. 19 After the execution of the in-flight critical sequences, the prime mission was under way. In order to support prime mission events such as low-altitude Titan flybys, Monopropellant Tank Assembly recharge affecting thruster magnitudes, and orbit trajectory changes, FSW had to be updated to support the effects of these events.…”

“…An abundance of additional testing was focused on the critical events of SOI and Probe Relay. 10,[17][18][19] To support the prime mission, parameter and uplink procedure testing continued under the same test philosophy. During the prime mission, key science objectives were tested extensively which included post-event reconstruction i.e., Titan low-altitude flybys, 20 and low-altitude Enceladus flybys.…”

The Cassini Attitude and Articulation Control Subsystem (AACS) Flight Software (FSW) has achieved its intended design goals by successfully guiding and controlling the Cassini-Huygens planetary mission to Saturn and its moons. This paper describes an overview of AACS FSW details from early design, development, implementation, and test to its fruition of operating and maintaining spacecraft control over an eleven year prime mission. Starting from phases of FSW development, topics expand to FSW development methodology, achievements utilizing in-flight autonomy, and summarize lessons learned during flight operations which can be useful to FSW in current and future spacecraft missions.
