SSM Alert Generator
SSM Alert Generation + Distribution
The SSM Alert Generator is a firmware component hosted on radiation-hardened NOR flash that evaluates structural state estimates to generate and dispatch authenticated, multi-tier severity alerts. Within the Lunar Ark architecture, it routes event notifications within a 10-second latency to command and data handling (L1-CDH), maintenance (L1-MNT), and communications (L1-COM) subsystems for Earth reporting. Surviving without magnetospheric radiation shielding over a 100-year mission lifetime demands continuous audit trails, resilient non-volatile memory, and long-mission alert tuning, with the module consuming 0.5 watts while maintaining a 500,000-hour mean time between failures.
SSM alert generator distributing alerts based on structural state estimates to L1-CDH, L1-MNT, and L1-COM for Earth reporting.
Purpose
