Description
PHARM was developed to address operational costs associated with Space Shuttle component failures, repair, and/or replacement processes by identifying components trending toward failure. Thus PHARM mitigates impacts to operational testing and mission performances by providing realistic need dates and historical performance data for component repair/replacement decisions and logistic provisioning. BRSS developed under an IR&D and NASA contract an OMS Vehicle Health Management testbed using qualification hardware in flight configuration. The testbed performs a complete and total automated checkout of an OMS Helium pressurization system. In the course of the automated checkout, key component performance data is saved, correlated and used to develop, prove, and demonstrate PHARM technologies. Via data acquisition, PHARM provides trending and forecasting capabilities for mission scheduling.
