Aging Model

Cumulative Damage + Aging Model per Equipment

The cumulative damage and aging model is a software system stored on radiation-hardened NOR flash that quantifies the physical degradation and remaining operating capability of up to 500 equipment units. Lunar surface assets endure severe environmental aging factors, notably cosmic radiation and continuous thermal cycles over extended deployment timelines. To evaluate this structural fatigue across a 100-year operational lifetime, the system calculates damage using Miner's rule analogs and tuned component-aging coefficients updated with predictive maintenance data. Running on one watt of power, the model maintains a 500,000-hour mean time between failures while executing authenticated, long-mission equipment tracking.

Per-equipment cumulative damage + aging model tracking degradation over lifetime — quantifying remaining capability.
