  Orbital intelligence and the knightian Void: A Graduated Governance Model for Autonomous AI in Cosmic Exploration, Grounded in the P.A.L.O. Framework
  Author(s): Fabrizio Degni*
  
  The accelerating deployment of autonomous AI systems in cosmic exploration from the AEGIS-guided Perseverance rover on Mars to the recently launched Europa Clipper bound for Jupiter's icy moonand toward prospective interstellar probes reveals a governance vacuum that terrestrial frameworks were never designed to address. This article identifies that vacuum as a Knightian void: a condition of radical, unquantifiable uncertainty, in which probabilistic risk management breaks down and ethical decision-making must proceed without the computational guarantees of measurable probability. Building on the Principled AI Lifecycle Orchestration (P.A.L.O.) framework a seven-principle, five-phase, 35-KPI governance paradigm aligned with ISO/IEC 42001:2023, ISO/IEC 42005:2025, the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), the NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0 and the OECD AI Principles we propose t..
