International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / A number of efforts at NASA's Johnson Space Center are exploring ways of
improving operational efficiency and effectiveness of telemetry data distribution. An
important component of this is the Real-Time Data System project in the Shuttle
Mission Control Center. This project's telemetry system is based on a network of
engineering workstations that acquire, distribute, analyze, and display the data.
Telemetry data is acquired and partially processed through a commercial
programmable telemetry processor. The data is then transferred into workstations
where the remaining decommutation, conversion and calibration steps are performed.
The results are sent over the network to applications operating within end user
workstations. This complex distributed environment is managed by PILOT, an
intelligent system that monitors data flow and process integrity with the goal of
providing a very high level of availability requiring minimal human involvement.
PILOT is a rule-based expert system that oversees the operation of the system. It
interacts with agents that operate in the local environment of each workstation and
advises the local agents of system status and configuration. This enables each local
agent to manage its local environment and provides a resource to which it can come
with issues that need a global view for resolution. PILOT is implemented using a
commercially available real-time expert system shell and operates in a heterogeneous
set of hardware platforms.
