Abstract

Distributed Space Systems (DSS) play a vital role in the success of multi-spacecraft missions, which are garnering considerable attention because of their affordability through lower costs of multiple smaller spacecraft, adaptability through reconfiguration, and resilience to failure through redundancy. These systems enable col-laborative endeavours among spacecraft, thus amplifying exploration capabilities within such missions. Nevertheless, the presence of multiple satellites amplifies the system’s complexity and raises the probability of fault occurrences. Consequently, an efficient health and mission management (HMM) system capable of accurately detecting and identifying faults within such a complex system is imperative to enhance mission success. In this study, we introduce an innovative Intelligent Agent-based HMM (IHMM) architecture for multi-spacecraft systems, leveraging Intelligent Agents (IAs) to seamlessly integrate mission success with satellite health and resilience. A thorough exploration and classification of diverse data sources suitable for integration into IAs is conducted, categorised according to their deployment type and intended roles. To evaluate and validate our proposed architecture, we conducted a preliminary analysis using one-time and continuous friction faults on a reaction wheel. The experiments show our approach outperforms traditional methods by proactively adapting control strategies in real-time and preventing saturation of other reaction wheels.
