A space operators tailored platform that enhances ground operations, enabling advanced and autonomous predictive health monitoring and support to flight dynamics tasks.

CLUE-ground is shaped with satellites operators leveraging SATE heritage on the use of AI-based diagnostics in decision-making processes.

Objectives

CLUE-ground is a service platform that encapsulates SATE proprietary customisable software libraries, processing satellites telemetries and implementing the whole diagnostic workflow:

Early fault detection and health status assessment of the monitored assets (e.g. satellites or ground stations)

Root cause identification and support to troubleshooting

Prognostics of the monitored assets, i.e., prediction of the future health status and Remaining Useful Life

Benefits

Reduction of unplanned down-services

The early detection of incipient faults and the computation of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the affected component allows avoiding unplanned downtimes and optimizes manoeuvres and resources.

Reduction of troubleshooting time

CLUE automatically identifies the most likely root cause of an anomaly, providing additional information through dedicated panels to speed up the troubleshooting.

More systems monitored by the same resources

CLUE eases the operators work automatically by aggregating engineering knowledge and data driven insights, reducing time needed for their operators tasks.

Extraction of new knowledge

Patterns extraction and correlation analysis provide useful insights on the system behavior, spanning the analysis across different subsystems, to increase awareness on how the system works.

High configurability with low effort

CLUE can be configured for any type of system or component to detect related feared events, with limited need for anomaly data and labelling effort by operators.

Features

Scheduled and automatic analysis

CLUE implements scheduled or on-demand diagnostic processes of the monitored satellites/constellation, with prompt notifications of alerts and suggestions of views for detailed investigation.

Continuous validation and performance monitoring

CLUE continuously monitor algorithms results to intercept decreasing performances due to model ageing, notifying need for retraining.

System engineering approach

CLUE is the results of twenty years of SATE experience in AI based diagnostics applications in different fields, through several R&D and commercial projects, from system conception to final deployment.

AI when needed

CLUE makes selected use of AI, combining ML, statistics and knowledge-based methods with increased performance and interpretability.

System Architecture

CLUE-ground is a SaaS solution that can be deployed at client premises, or into AWS or private cloud environment as a set of docker containers, it can interface to other platforms and databases through APIs.

The web-based user interface implementation allows the installation of CLUE on a shared (or external) machine and the investigation of the telemetry from any different location, through a web browser.
