Who Should Attend?
Members of the spacecraft community who have experience in:

• designing FM architectures
• testing FM on simulators/testbeds/flight hardware
• operating flight systems where FM has been exercised

Also those who are involved in establishing organizational practices and processes that have an impact on FM design and development.

Topics

1. Fault Management Architectures
2. FM Verification and Validation (V&V)
3. FM Development Practices and Processes.

Outcome

Workshop attendees will review recent mission experiences, work together to understand common issues, identify lessons learned and best practices for fault management, and explore emerging technologies in this field. The outcome of the workshop will be a white paper documenting the key findings, which will be made available to all organizations involved in current and future space mission development.

Schedule

Day 1 will lay the foundation for the participants to understand how FM is conceived/designed/implemented/operated at the participating organizations, including NASA Centers, DoD, and relevant industry partners. Presentations will consist of case studies of recent missions from each organization, focusing on the three topics listed above.

Day 2 will consist of three Breakout Sessions, one for each topic. Registrants will participate in discussions to identify issues, capture lessons learned, and enumerate best practices. Day 2 also includes a Poster Session for technologists to present concepts and technology developments relevant to the future of FM. The Poster Session continues throughout the remainder of the workshop.

Day 3 will begin with presentations summarizing the findings from each Breakout Session, with the goal of drawing conclusions from what was learned in the sessions. A group discussion follows, to explore and capture the issues, lessons learned, and best practices that cut across the three topic areas. The day concludes with presentations on future directions and opportunities from researchers in academia, government and industry.
