Abstract Engineering systems designed specifically for space applications often exhibit a high level of autonomy in the control and decision-making architecture. As the level of autonomy increases, more emphasis must be placed hardware on assimilating the safety functions normally executed at the level or by human supervisors into the control architecture of of a decision-making safety.
