EDS Activation Controller
Adaptive EDS Activation Scheduling Controller
Adaptive controller scheduling EDS activations across all protected surfaces based on dust accumulation rate, power availability, and operational priority.
Purpose
Adaptive controller scheduling EDS activations across all protected surfaces based on dust accumulation rate, power availability, and operational priority.
Context
Child of L2-DST-EDS within the Lunar Ark system
Principles
- ▸Activation interval per surface based on observed accumulation
- ▸Adaptive scheduling avoids over-activation (saves power)
- ▸Coordination with L1-PDM for power allocation
- ▸ML-augmented prediction of dust events
- ▸Performance telemetry to L1-DST
Typical implementations
- ▸NASA KSC EDS controller heritage
- ▸Industrial cleaning schedule optimization
- ▸Smart anti-soiling control
Lunar considerations
- ▸Long-mission ML model evolves with dust experience
- ▸Authenticated DTN updates
- ▸Coordination with L1-MNT for surface inspection
