Description

The data recording, display, and playback capabilities currently available for propulsion system engineers in the launch control room at the Kennedy Space Center lack the fidelity required to perform complex real time data analysis associated with Orbiter main propulsion system health management and anomaly resolution. During the hydrogen leak investigations (summer and fall of !90) on Space Shuttles Columbia and Atlantis, the deficiencies of the system became obvious. The troubleshooting team was hampered in drawing conclusions because they couldn't perform real-time data analysis and by the cumbersome time consuming procedures required to do specific comparisons of present data with past data.
