Modeling of the Space Station Freedom Data Management System

The Data Management System (DMS) is the information and communications system on-board Space Station Freedom. Extensive modeling of the DMS is being conducted throughout NASA to aid in the design and development of this vital system. In this paper we discuss activities at NASA Ames Research Center to model the DMS network infrastructure, focusing on modeling of the Fiber Distributed Data Interf...

The Canadian Mobile Servicing System for Space Station Servicing

The Mobile Servicing System (MSS) concept is being developed as the Canadian contribution to the Space Station Program. The MSS is a major element of the servicing architecture in the Space Station Program and complements the role of U.S. developed Servicing Facility on the Station. This paper describes the servicing functions performed by MSS. These functions include servicing of attached payl...

Sliding mode thermal control system for space station furnace facility

-This paper addresses the decoupled control of the nonlinear, multiinput-multioutput, and highly coupled space station furnace facility (SSFF) thermal control system. Sliding mode control theory, a subset of variable-structure control theory, is employed to increase the performance, robustness, and reliability of the SSFF's currently designed control system. This paper presents the nonlinear th...

The Application of New Automatic Weather Station in Power System

Aiming at special demanding of weather monitoring in power system, an application project was designed basing on new type distributed and smart automatic weather station (AWS) Defects such as fixed hardware configuration and centralized data acquisition are overcome in new AWS. With distributed data acquisition node, AWS can extend and add new sensors for disaster forecasting of lightning, stro...
