Robust, Explainable Autonomy for Scientific Icy Moon Operations (REASIMO)

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

This effort aims to improve the science yield and robustness of a wide range of NASA missions by increasing the level of flight-qualifiable autonomy that can be applied to such operations.

Detailed example

Specifically, we are developing autonomy for onboard mission use that could detect, diagnose, and respond appropriately to anomalies (faults, failures degradations, or unexpected conditions) without the need to always drop into safe mode and call home.

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.

Expected benefit

Specifically, we are developing autonomy for onboard mission use that could detect, diagnose, and respond appropriately to anomalies (faults, failures degradations, or unexpected conditions) without the need to always drop into safe mode and call home.
