             abstract = "The routine operation phase of a satellite occurs after its launch 
                         and initializing settings of the satellite in orbit. The basic 
                         operational functions are routine operations that include 
                         telemetry monitoring, sending remote command and the 
                         implementation of tracking measurements, such as range and range 
                         rate, and execution of procedures, which consists of actions that 
                         are taken when the execution of a task. Currently, in the area of 
                         satellite control, there is a general interest in automating as a 
                         way of reducing in-orbit satellite maintenance costs, specially 
                         the high cost with teams operations. Besides the cost reduction, 
                         the automation can minimize errors that may be introduced by 
                         repetitive tasks. The growing number and diversity of satellites 
                         launched often leads to the increasing and complexity of the 
                         operations. This has a negative impact on safety, efficiency and 
                         operations costs. With automation, the same operators' team can 
                         control more satellites and they can use their time on other 
                         activities; human errors can be reduced by repetitive and fast 
                         execution of planned operations; a large number of verifications 
                         can be made in a short time. With the prospective of launching new 
                         satellites and reducing of financial resources, the National 
                         Institute for Space Research (INPE) has concerns about solutions 
                         that enable the operations of multiple missions keeping the same 
                         operation team. In this sense, INPE has developed automated 
                         solutions for the routine operations involving the control and 
                         tracking of satellites. The automation is evolving toward to 
                         controlling both the current missions as well the future missions. 
                         Thus, it is necessary to build a flexible architecture that easily 
                         adapt to new missions with minimal changes in the programming 
                         code. In this context, this work describes the architecture and 
                         its requirements for automating the routine tasks for different 
                         missions. The requirements were defined based on two main 
                         purposes: a) automation of routine tasks: antenna calibration, 
                         range and range rate measurements, send command, telemetry 
                         monitoring, backup, file transfer and creation of unforeseen 
                         activities; b) procedures execution: procedures can be defined as 
                         a set of activities (or actions) that are executed in sequence or 
                         a set of actions which are taken (based in conditions) when a 
                         fault occurs during the activity execution. The major prospects 
                         with automation in development at INPE are: to enable the 
                         efficient handling of a series of similar satellites; to 
                         facilitate the coding and maintenance of procedures; to favor the 
                         experience and knowledge in the field of automation technology; to 
                         ensure safe operations by reducing the human risk factor and to 
                         reduce costs with operators.",
