Data Mining Applications for Space Mission Operations System Health Monitoring
Open accessAbstract
Recent developments in data mining techniques for anomaly detection make it possible to use the wealth of available archived spacecraft system data to produce advanced system health monitoring applications.These "data driven" applications are capable of characterizing and monitoring interactions between multiple parameters and can complement existing practice to provide valuable decision support for mission controllers.Data driven software tools, including Orca and the Inductive Monitoring System (IMS), have been successfully applied to mission operations for both the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.Orca uses a nearest-neighbor approach to search for unusual data points in multivariate data sets by calculating the distance of each data point from neighboring points.The IMS tool uses a data mining technique called clustering to analyze archived spacecraft data and characterize nominal interactions between selected parameters.This characterization, or model, is compared with real time or archived system data to detect off nominal behavior.Augmenting traditional mission control software with advanced monitoring tools, such as Orca and IMS, can provide controllers with greater insight into the health and performance of the space systems under their watch.We will describe how such techniques have been applied to NASA mission control operations and discuss plans for future mission control system health monitoring software.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
