Abstract

Conveying spacecraft health and status information to mission engineering personnel during various mission phases, including mission operations, is a requirement to achieve a successful mission. For NASA/JPL spacecraft, that often means displaying hundreds of telemetry channels from a variety of sensors and components emitting data at rates varying from 1hz-100hz (and faster) in a way that allows the operations team to quickly evaluate the health of the vehicle, identify any off-nominal states and resolve any issues. In this paper we will discuss the system design, requirements and use cases of three telemetry processing and visualization systems recently developed and deployed by our team for NASA's Low Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) test vehicle, NASA's Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) orbiter, and JPL's Sampling Lab Universal Robotic Manipulator (SLURM) test bed.

Computational Modeling of Space Physiology

The Digital Astronaut Project (DAP), within NASAs Human Research Program, develops and implements computational modeling for use in the mitigation of human health and performance risks associated with long duration spaceflight. Over the past decade, DAP developed models to provide insights into space flight related changes to the central nervous system, cardiovascular system and the musculoskeletal system. Examples of the models and their applications include biomechanical models applied to advanced exercise device development, bone fracture risk quantification for mission planning, accident investigation, bone health standards development, and occupant protection. The International Space Station (ISS), in its role as a testing ground for long duration spaceflight, has been an important platform for obtaining human spaceflight data. DAP has used preflight, in-flight and post-flight data from short and long duration astronauts for computational model development and validation. Examples include preflight and post-flight bone mineral density data, muscle cross-sectional area, and muscle strength measurements. Results from computational modeling supplement space physiology research by informing experimental design. Using these computational models, DAP personnel can easily identify both important factors associated with a phenomenon and areas where data are lacking. This presentation will provide examples of DAP computational models, the data used in model development and validation, and applications of the model.

TESSIM: A Simulator for the Athena-X-IFU

We present the design of tessim, a simulator for the physics of transition edge sensors developed in the framework of the Athena end to end simulation effort. Designed to represent the general behavior of transition edge sensors and to provide input for engineering and science studies for Athena, tessim implements a numerical solution of the linearized equations describing these devices. The simulation includes a model for the relevant noise sources and several implementations of possible trigger algorithms. Input and output of the software are standard FITS-les which can be visualized and processed using standard X-ray astronomical tool packages. Tessim is freely available as part of the SIXTE package (http:www.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.deresearchsixte).
