Abstract
This paper investigates possible autonomy architecture designs of a Raven-class
telescope as applied to the tracking and high level characterization problem in
Space Situational Awareness (SSA). Various levels of autonomy are defined and
existing systems and capabilities are discussed. Telescope interactions with distributed
sensor networks such as the Space Surveillance Network (SSN) are reviewed,
and several relationships between autonomy and scheduling of telescopes
are addressed. An autonomy architecture design for a Raven-class telescope is
presented and future extensions are proposed.
