Bulk MMOD Integrity Controller
Bulk Wall Integrity Monitoring + Repair Coordination
The Bulk MMOD Integrity Controller is a structural health monitoring software system hosted on rad-hard NOR flash that coordinates habitat wall integrity tracking, robotic repair scheduling, and regolith overburden replenishment. Operating on a 0.01 Hz control loop while drawing 1 W of power, the controller processes impact sensor inputs to prioritize damage by severity and dispatch repair subsystems. Sustaining bulk barrier integrity across a 100-year design lifetime with a 500,000-hour mean time between failures requires tracking cumulative degradation over decades, utilizing historical archive data and evolving machine-learning models to schedule overburden refills against continuous micrometeoroid bombardment.
Software coordinating bulk wall integrity monitoring (from L3-MMD-DET sensors), repair scheduling (via L1-MNT), and overburden additions (via L3-ISR-EXC).
