The Systems Autonomy Demonstration Project (SADP) produced a knowledge-based real-time control system for real-time control and fault detection, isolation and recovery (FDIR) of a prototype two-phase Space Station Freedom external control system (TCS). The Thermal Expert System (TEXSYS) was demonstrated in recent tests to be capable of reliable fault anticipation and detection, as well as nominal control of the thermal bus. Performance requirements were addressed by adopting a hierarchical symbolic control approach, layering model-based expert system software on a conventional numerical data acquisition and control system. The model-based capabilities of TEXSYS were shown to be advantageous, particularly for detection of unforeseen faults and sensor failures.
