Abstract
Due to the hostile nature of the space environment, fault tolerance has become a key part of recent research in spacecraft mission planning. Spacecraft are complex systems; mission planning in spacecraft may not just involve text book Artificial Intelligence based approaches. Requiring additional fault tolerance capability makes the problem more challenging and diverse. This paper reviews the relevant tools and methods from Artificial Intelligence and Control Systems theory for fault detection and diagnosis. Different types of modeling approaches have been discussed followed by control and mission planning. Existing approaches are evaluated and gaps have been identified. Possible approaches to fill those gaps are discussed.
