A profust-reliability-based health monitoring technique of spacecraft

Abstract

The system health management technology uses observation data, system models, and relative intelligent algorithms to monitor system anomaly, evaluate system degradation, predict residual life, and further determine the corresponding maintenance and operation strategy. Recently, the in-orbit management work of spacecraft in China focuses on fault detection and diagnosis, whereas the spacecraft's health management technology stays in the framework study status. For the spacecraft's health monitoring, the theory and algorithm are important to support practical engineering. Therefore, this paper introduces the profust-reliability-based health monitoring method into the in-orbit management work of spacecraft. This method analyzes telemetry parameters of spacecraft, and calculates the profust reliability of telemetry parameters, component, and system, respectively. Then, the health level of the spacecraft is classified according to the calculated profust reliability value. This method provides a new thought to the in-orbit management work of spacecraft. The simulation result shows that this method can effectively evaluate the health status of spacecraft system.
