Abstract: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is currently developing plans for space exploration activities that involve human and robotic missions to destinations beyond low earth orbit[1]. As these missions expand to ever increasing distances from earth, the systems that support these missions will be required to become more self-sufficient. Time delays in communication, the inability to perform unscheduled re-supply, and the mass penalty of carrying large spare parts inventories will all be driving factors to the mission design to support these space exploration activities. Intelligent Integrated Vehicle Management (IIVM) represents a paradigm shift necessary for human missions to Mars and improved abort capabilities for human missions to the moon. IIVM provides the vehicle intelligence functions that allow a small crew to safely endure the environment and provide the level of on-board autonomy required to enable missions. IIVM encompasses all vehicles and systems.
