For robotic explorers this will be done through automation, while for human missions this will be done through astronaut-automation teaming.

The considerable challenge is to migrate the knowledge and capability embedded in current Earth mission control, with tens to hundreds of human specialists ready to provide instant knowledge, to on-board automation that teams with astronauts to autonomously manage spacecraft and habitats.
