NASA is integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Fault Management (FM) to enable fully autonomous space missions. This approach aims to allow spacecraft to detect and compensate for issues without human intervention, improving reliability and efficiency.
Fully autonomous space mission operations necessitate the ability to detect faults and compensate for them without human intervention. To address this challenge and provide model-based support for system design and operations, it is important to connect fault management (FM) and model-based systems engineering (MBSE).
According to NASA, this connection was successfully demonstrated with the model-based generation of a… [the source text ends abruptly here]. The integration of MBSE and FM is crucial because it provides a framework for designing systems that are not only robust but also capable of self-diagnosis and correction. This is particularly important for long-duration space missions where communication delays make real-time human intervention impractical. The goal is to create spacecraft that can independently handle unexpected problems, ensuring mission success and safety.
