ML-Augmented Diagnostics
LSTM + Autoencoder ML Diagnostics
ML-augmented diagnostics is a computational subsystem stored on radiation-hardened NOR flash and executed via FPGA or GPU accelerators on a rad-hard CPU to perform anomaly detection and fault classification. Combining Long Short-Term Memory networks for time-series forecasting with autoencoders for unsupervised anomaly identification, the system maintains 50 distinct equipment-specific models. The lunar radiation environment requires hardened architectures capable of operating reliably over a 100-year lifetime and a 500,000-hour mean time between failures while drawing 10 W of power. The subsystem leverages long-mission data accumulation to refine diagnostics, receiving updated model parameters across interplanetary links via authenticated Delay-Tolerant Networking.
