Early Detection of Solid Rocket Motor Case - Breach Failure ∗

This paper describes work on early detection of space launch vehicle failures that could lead to loss of control during ascent. The particular focus is on the Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) comprising First Stage of the Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV). Some of the most important failure modes leading to loss of vehicle control are caused by hot gases ejected from the SRM combustion chamber through a case b...

Rocket Engine Failure Detection Using System Identification Techniques

HPFT HPFTP This paper presents the; theoretical foundation and HPOP application of two univariate failure detection HPOT algorithms to Space Shuttl,; Main Engine (SSME) test LPFP firing data. Both algorithms were applied to data LPOP collected during steady-sutte operation of the engine, m One algorithm, the time s_'.ries algorithm, is based on MCC time series techniques and involves the comput...
