ABSTRACT
The	project	implements	an	architecture	for	delivery	of	integrated
health	management	capabilities	for	the	21st	Century	launch
complex.		The	delivered	capabilities	include	anomaly	detection,
fault	isolation,	prognostics	and	physics-based	diagnostics.
ANTICIPATED	BENEFITS
To	NASA	funded	missions:
The	architecture	enables	health	management	capabilities	to
exchange	information	among	themselves	and	analyze	and
respond	to	complex	problems	within	the	system	or	systems
being	monitored	in	an	integrated	manner.		The	architecture	is
also	developed	to	support	scalability	to	accommodate	to
different	level	of	complexity	in	the	systems/implementations.
To	NASA	unfunded	&	planned	missions:
The	platform-independent	design	utilizes	reusable	components;
this	approach	will	minimize	software	development	and
verification	testing	for	subsequent	deployments,	which	enables
low	system	life-cycle	costs	of	health	management	deployments.
To	the	commercial	space	industry:
The	concept	of	"reusable	components"	supports	the
incorporation	of	this	approach	to	other
projects/systems/applications	with	minimized	software
development	and	verification	testing.			The	goal	is	to	create	an
approach	where	the	majority	of	the	implementation	is	generic
and	only	a	small	part	of	the	implementation	is	tailored	to	the
specific	application.		This	concept	will	support	industrial	based
applications	with	reduced	effort.

DETAILED	DESCRIPTION
This	project	will	develop	a	flexible,	scalable	enterprise
architecture	required	to	support	the	implementation	and	delivery
of	Health	Management	(HM)	capabilities	under	the	21st	Century
launch	complex	program.		HM	Capabilities	include	anomaly
detection,	components'	prognostics,	fault	isolation,	and	physics-
based	diagnostics.		The	architecture	enables	the	required
information	exchange	between	the	HM	capabilities,	the
Spaceport	Command	and	Control	System	(SCCS)	and	other
diverse	multi-users.		The	architecture	flexibility,	scalability	and
modularity	will	allow	for	the	incorporation	of	new	HM	capabilities
as	required	or	when	they	become	available,	the	execution	of
several	instances	of	the	same	HM	capability,	and	the	use	of
several	information	sources	(real-time	data,	simulation,	video,
etc.)	without	the	need	for	major	rework/redesign.

DETAILS	FOR	TECHNOLOGY	1
Technology	Title
Advanced	Ground	Systems	Maintenance	Enterprise	Architecture
Technology	Description
This	technology	is	categorized	as	an	operating	system	for	engineering,	design,	modeling,	or
analysis
AGSM	Integrated	Health	Management	architecture	consists	of	external	interfaces,	internal
services,	and	a	core	capability	that	is	reusable.		The	core	capability	will	facilitate	the	exchange	of
information	using	a	platform-independent	messaging	format.
Capabilities	Provided
The	project	implements	the	infrastructure	and	connectivity	between	internal	health	management
services	and	external	systems	for	which	advisory	applications	provide	health	and	status.		The
architecture	includes	core	configuration	for	the	integration	of	models,	simulations,	and	application
software	to	deliver	anomaly	detection,	fault	isolation,	prognostics,	and	physics-based	diagnostics
and	simulations	of	systems	being	monitored.
Potential	Applications
The	architecture	flexibility	allows	for	a	diverse	set	of	applications.		It	is	presently	developed	to
support	the	GSDO	Command	and	Control	(C&C)	system	being	deployed	at	Kennedy	Space	Center
(KSC),	but	it	can	be	adapted	to	any	information	exchange	application	with	minor	changes.	The
Advanced	Ground	Systems	Maintenance	project	has	implemented	a	version	of	the	architecture	in
the	Simulated	Propellant	Loading	System	at	the	Cryogenics	Laboratory	in	support	of	cryogenics
loading	operation,	and	will	be	demonstrating	this	architecture	in	the	Universal	Propellant	Loading
System		pathfinder	and	the	Exploration	Flight	Test-1	at	KSC.		The	architecture's	reusable,	scalable
platform	can	be	used	to	provide	systems	health	management	to	diverse	applications	such	as
cryogenics,	power,	Heating	Ventilatin	and	Air	Conditioning	(HVAC),	etc.
