System Health and Impact Assessment Environment Demonstrated on ADAPT, Phase II

Status: Completed

Start Date: 2006-08-16

End Date: 2008-08-15

Description: Space exploration is a unique challenge with many difficulties in its implementation. With a goal of the return of man to the moon and travel to Mars, the stage has been set for the expansion of human knowledge beyond comprehension. Traveling to the moon and Mars, however, will require new and innovative technologies. Key to this will be system health management (SHM). For any given system of the myriad that will be required for space missions, a way of safely and efficiently managing the system health will be required. These goals are the motivation behind the proposed Phase II effort.
