Dock-Side Diagnostics

Dock-Side Robot Diagnostics + Self-Test

Dock-side robot diagnostics is a 2 kg subsystem comprising radiation-hardened NOR flash and reference sensors that executes autonomous health assessments during robot recharge cycles. Drawing 10 W of power, the unit conducts a 15-minute sequence of self-test routines, sensor calibrations against known references, and anomaly detection for uplink to predictive maintenance systems. To endure unmitigated lunar radiation without physical servicing, the architecture relies on rad-hard components and authenticated diagnostic updates, providing a 100,000-hour mean time between failures over a 20-year operational lifetime.
