A small team of technologists at NASA’s Stennis Space Center is gaining recognition for its expertise in designing, testing, and deploying capabilities that help critical systems operate more autonomously and efficiently.
The Stennis Autonomous Systems Lab team is focused on providing capabilities that can be used on ground systems, as well as those needed to enable sustainable exploration of the Moon and beyond.
An international conference of aerospace experts recently acknowledged the significance of the team’s efforts, recognizing Stennis Space Center for cutting-edge research in predictive maintenance and integrated systems health management (ISHM). A collaborative paper by the Stennis Autonomous Systems Lab on how to implement health management capabilities into an existing high-pressure pump-based system was awarded top honors in March in the Predictive Maintenance/ISHM track by the international Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Aerospace Conference. The paper focused on how to use system monitoring capabilities on the liquid nitrogen pump system at Stennis.
