Abstract: The paper presents an autonomic / self-managing model which can be used in cubesat development to make cubesats self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing and selfprotecting.Autonomous and self-managing systems have emerged in multiple domains, e.g., autonomous ground and aerial vehicles.So far there is no standard model as to how to design and implement self-managing, autonomous systems.In this paper, we are going to look at how autonomic computing can be applied in unmanned systems and how it can be adapted and applied to the cubesat space industry.Spacecraft always operate in remote environments whereby human intervention is infeasible and therefore making them autonomic is not a niche feature, but a paradigm change requirement for future satellites and other spacecraft.An autonomic capability level model for cubesats is proposed in this paper, which can assist cubesat developers gradually increase the use of autonomic features in satellite and cubesat systems.
