Spacecraft Health Status Monitoring Method Based on Multidimensional Data Fusion

To address the difficulty of detecting on-orbit faults of spacecraft under complex operating conditions in time, rational monitoring and assessment of spacecraft health status are essential for ensuring its safe, stable, and reliable operation. Considering the complexity, coupling, and multidimensionality of telemetry data, this paper proposes a method for monitoring the health status of spacecraft based on multidimensional data fusion for a key electromechanical component of a spacecraft control system. The method first extracts the explicit and implicit features of the multidimensional coupled telemetry parameters via physical feature formulas and a stacked autoencoder. Then, the extracted features are fused and filtered to obtain the health factor—a performance degradation trend described the evolution law of key component health status over runtime. Moreover, the different degradation stages are identified via an unsupervised clustering algorithm. Finally, a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) is used to construct a health status prediction model in stages. By taking Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) as experimental verification subjects, the proposed method demonstrates significantly superior performance compared to other methods across prediction accuracy metrics including MSE, RMSE, and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>R</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>.
