Development of Life Prediction Capabilities for Liquid Propellant Rocket Engines. Task 4. Post-Fire Diagnostic System for the SSME System Architecture Study.

Abstract

The system architecture task (1) analyzed the current process used to make an assessment of engine and component health after each test or flight firing of an SSME (Space Shuttle Main Engine); (2) developed an approach and a specific set of objectives and requirements for automated diagnostics during post-fire health assessment; and (3) listed and described the software applications required to implement this system. The diagnostic system described in this report is a distributed system with a database management system to store diagnostic information and test data, a CAE package for visula data analysis and preparation of plots of hot-fire data, a set of procedural applications for routine anomaly detection, and an expert system for the advanced anomaly detection and evaluation.
