As the space industry continues to strive for more efficient launch vehicles, it must rely on increasingly accurate predictive models. Verification of models typically requires physical testing. Flight data measurements offer the most real and therefore the most accurate data for model correlation. As NASA prepares for the inaugural launch of Space Launch System (SLS), Artemis-1, they must rely heavily on predictive system models to ensure flight safety. NASA has implemented a Development Flight Instrumentation (DFI) system in hopes of recovering useful flight data to aid in model correlation. Historically, some of the most important flight measurements are those that monitor the potentially destructive dynamic interaction of the structural and propellant modes – a phenomenon known as pogo. Pogo is a dynamic instability that can occur on a launch vehicle during any phase of ascent. During this investigation an end-to-end assessment of the Artemis-I Pogo-related DFI was performed to identify any obstacles inherent in the current instrumentation system which may prevent successful measurement of the data necessary to validate the current predictive models of the Main Propulsion System (MPS). Input drive signals were approximated and applied to a system-level SLS state-space model to derive predicted pressure and acceleration responses. These predicted responses were then fed through a simulation of the data acquisition process in order to recover predicted measurements. Finally, a mock Flight Data Analysis (FDA) was performed to assess the ability of these measurements to meet the Flight Test Objectives (FTO).
