To err is human, goes the saying - one that space mission planners can never forget. Human error has spelt the doom of numerous missions during the last half century. Mistakes will inevitably be made in any system that people are involved in, and space is extremely unforgiving of mistakes.
The expression 'unmanned spacecraft' is ultimately misleading. Human beings are an indispensable part of space missions. The systems up in orbit may most often be automated but this 'space segment' is only the tip of a very large iceberg, which includes what is referred to as the 'ground segment'.
