Integrating Planning, Execution and Diagnosis to Enable Autonomous Mission Operations
2013
NASA’s Advanced Exploration Systems Autonomous Mission Operations (AMO) project conducted an empirical investigation of the impact of time delay on today’s mission operations, and of the effect of processes and mission support tools designed to mitigate time-delay related impacts. Mission operation scenarios were designed for NASA’s Deep Space Habitat (DSH), an analog spacecraft habitat, covering a range of activities including nominal objectives, DSH system failures, and crew medical emergencies. The scenarios were simulated at time delay values representative of Lunar (1.2-5 sec), Near Earth Object (NEO) (50 sec) and Mars (300 sec) missions. Each combination of operational scenario and time delay was tested in a Baseline configuration, designed to reflect present-day operations of the International Space Station, and a Mitigation configuration in which a variety of software tools, information displays, and crewground communications protocols were employed to assist both crews and Flight Control Team (FCT) members with the longdelay conditions. This paper describes the mitigation configuration, with specific attention on the plan and procedure execution tracking and fault detection, isolation and recovery software.
