Autonomous Operations Design Guidelines for Flight Hardware

Status: Completed

Start Date: 2016-10-01

End Date: 2017-09-30

Description:

SSC experimentally modified an autonomous operations flexible system suite developed for a ground application for a flight system under development by JSC. The system was modified to run on Linux to integrate with flight systems in collaboration with JSC. Functional and performance tests were run to benchmark performance in order to develop recommendations for the design of future autonomous operations for flight hardware.

Benefits:

These autonomous systems will address NASA's requirement for capable autonomous systems for flight hardware for exploration and science missions as well as have likely benefit to aeronautics here on earth.
