Unmanned roving vehicles sent to explore remote planetary surfaces must carry out some of their tasks without step-by-step human control. To realize the benefits that accrue from such semiautonomous machines, current planning (and carrying out) of mission profiles will be subject to some changes. Specifically, it is shown that mission profiles will have to be based on tasks or functions rather than sequences of timed events, while scientists will have to center their attention on instrument control. Present ideas concerning spacecraft safety, testing (and simulation) of vehicle performance, telemetry design, and ground station equipment must be reexamined.
