Ubiquitous condition monitoring - Key to networked-subsystem space propulsion systemsVarious highlights of NASA's recently held space transportation propulsion and avionics symposia and the participation in this symposia by industry, the university community, and government organizations are discussed. The potential contributions of the integrated control and health monitoring (ICHM) field are considered. The goals of advanced ICHM technologies are reliability, operability, performance, and affordability. It is proposed that conventional liquid rocket engine configurations, characterized as noninteracting, stand-alone, compactly packaged and usually gimballed sets of hardware, can profit through embracing advanced ICHM capabilities.
