Can anybody give me any references to the Jet Propulsion Lab's
"autonomous space probe" project?  This system is supposed to be able
to schedule different observations in a limited time frame (like a
planetary flyby) based on priorities and feedback from previous results.
Is it really AI or just some kind of optimization hack?

                thanks,
                Mike
