    • Abstract:  Abstract We outline a potential approach to the development of future autonomic NASA space exploration missions. The approach is quite different from other efforts to date, and is inspired by the human immunological system and exploits agent-based technologies to support autonomic features such as: self-managing, self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-protecting, and finally two novel features of future NASA swarm-based missions: self-predicting and self-learning, which may help in extending levels of autonomy in future missions. The approach offers several detection mechanisms for recognizing self and non-self patterns. This sense of "self" of the immunological system is related to the ability to learn to recognize new kinds of threats. The hierarchical architecture based on agents offers a high flexibility for repairing, maintaining, configuring, and optimizing functions of the spacecraft in real time

            • Space Rock of Love: Asteroid Eros Attracts Skywatchers in Earth Flyby
              In 1931, the close approach of the asteroid Eros allowed professional astronomers to calculate its distance and make that era's most accurate measurement of the solar system. As the asteroid passes near Earth this week, amateur astronomers and students from around the world seek to recreate the historical experience.
            • Asteroid Eros draws skywatchers in Earth flyby
              Amateur astronomers and students around the world are taking a close look at the asteroid Eros as part of a hands-on experiment to measure solar-system distances.
            • Astrophoto: Near-Earth Asteroid Eros by Efrain Morales
              Efrain Morales captured this image of four sequences of the NEA Eros (Asteroid) from the night of February 1, 2012. Eros, also known as 433 Eros, is the second-largest near-Earth asteroid. The orbit of asteroid Eros is known to cross that of Mars. It was visited by the NEAR-Shoemaker space probe twice in 1998 and [...]

              The bus-sized asteroid that flew past Earth on Friday may have garnered headlines, but it is far from alone, as experts claim that approximately 50 million objects pass by our planet each day. As previously reported here on redOrbit.com , Asteroid 2012 BX34, which was first detected on Wednesday, skimmed past Earth at a distance about one-fifth to one-sixth that of the Moon two days ago. While ...

              The giant Asteroid Vesta literally floats in space in a new high resolution 3-D image of the battered bodies Eastern Hemisphere taken by NASA’s Dawn Asteroid Orbiter. Haul out your red-cyan 3-D anaglyph glasses and lets go whirling around Vesta, sledding down mountains to greet the alien Snowman! It’s fabulous ! The Dawn imaging group [...]
