An Introduction to the Launch and On-Orbit Operations of Boeing's GPS Satellites
註釋An Introduction to the Launch and On-Orbit Operations of Boeing's GPS Satellites briefly describes the achievements in the development and use of the technology known today as predictive analytics and prognostics and health management (PHM) by the author who was Boeing's GPS Space and Ground Systems Manager on the U.S. Air Force Global Positioning System Block 1 constellation of medium earth orbiting satellites and NASA's low earth orbiting Extreme Ultra Violet Explorer class satellite. PHM is used for predicting with 100% certainty future satellite equipment failures. On the Block 1 GPS satellites, the predictions were used to maximize the satellite payload performance at its highest during critical multi-service system testing used to determine if the GPS program should receive funding by the department of defense. On the NASA extreme ultra-violet explorer class satellite or EUVE. The results from predictions by the author were used to reduce mission operations work load to engineers on-call, allowing the EUVE payload mission control center funding be used to extend the visiting scientist program and extending the scientific mission for the EUVE satellite by 8 years. The author included 2 reports consolidating the multi-year independent validation of the results from the prognostic analysis completed by the author on the NASA EUVE low earth orbiting space science satellite using proprietary pattern recognition software by reliability analysis engineers employed at Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Center located in Sunnyvale C and the co-published technical paper published at the International Telemetry Conference in 1996 and 1997 and the 1997 AIAA Small Satellite Conference held in Ogden Utah.
