| Abstract: We describe a knowledge-based system that monitors Tracking Data and Relay Satellite Systems (TDRSS) telemetry for problems in the momentum unload procedure. The system displays TDRSS telemetry and commands in real-time via X-WINDOWS. The system constructs a momentum unload plan that agrees with the preferences of the attitude control specialists and the momentum growth characteristics of the individual spacecraft. During the execution of the plan, the system monitors the progress of the procedure and watches for unexpected problems. |
