Artemis I Flight Instrumentation Data Quality Assessment and ProcessingThis paper is in support of the SciTech 2024 Space Launch System Aerosciences Special Sessions being organized by Brent Pomeroy and Jeremy Pinier.

On November 16th, 2022, NASA launched an inaugural test flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) carrying the Orion capsule around the moon. The vehicle was instrumented with thousands of Developmental Flight Instrumentation (DFI) sensors, which monitored aerodynamic, acoustic, structural, and thermal environments. These data are used to validate experimental and numerical tools used to predict conditions the vehicle experiences during ascent. Prior to launch, a set of tests were performed to quantify the expected quality of the DFI flight data. These included testing of individual components, such as data acquisition units, at the Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) and testing of integrated vehicle components at the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). This paper summarizes these tests. Some aspects of post processing of data are also discussed.
