Intelligent virtual agents function in dynamic, uncertain, and uncontrolled environments, and animating them is a chaotic and error-prone task which demands high-level behavioral controllers to be able to adapt to failures at lower levels of the system. On the other hand, the conditions in which space robotic systems such as spacecraft and rovers operate, inspire by necessity, the development of robust and adaptive control software. In this paper, we propose a generic architecture for

This architecture is inspired by onboard autonomous frameworks utilized in interplanetary missions. The proposed architecture is implemented within a discrete-event simulated world to evaluate its deliberative and reactive behaviors. Evaluation results suggest that the architecture supports both behaviors, consistently.
