A planetary spacecraft has basic instruction programmed into its onboard computers at launch. However, most of the details are sent by controllers on Earth at a later stage, because journeys are often several years long.

After discovering a problem with the radio transmissions between Cassini and Huygens, mission controllers were able to change their plans.
