planning, agent technology, self-modifying systems, and verification and val-
idation technologies. The paradigms, techniques, and approaches stimulated
by concept missions like ANTS open the way for new types of future space
exploration missions: namely, large numbers of small, cooperating spacecraft
conducting flexible, reliable, autonomous, and cost-effective science and explo-
ration operations beyond the capabilities of the more familiar large spacecraft.
