This paper discusses a multi-mission planning tool named APGEN, which is currently used several Flight at JPL. Although APGEN was not intended to function as an autonomous it does meet stringent requirements imposed by current flight project customers. We discuss the nature of these requirements, how they are met in the current implementation of APGEN, and how we are planning to adapt APGEN to the closed-loop environment required by new interplanetary missions.
