Abstract

In recent years, the possibility of exploring outer space has captivated interest among various stakeholders around the globe . Be it for space tourism, for unmanned or manned planetary explorations or for the health status assessment of satellites, new developments in asset monitoring systems are envisaged to ensure the robustness and reliability of these missions. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is one such technology that can bring us one step closer to this goal by asserting increased levels of safety and breaking down the overall mission costs. By using intelligent sensor networks for diagnosis and prognosis of the asset condition, SHM ensures the integrity of the assets at every step of the mission. However, implementing SHM solutions for space mission have not received much consideration due to complexities that arise from several factors including, environmental conditions, measurement reliability and unavailability of adequate standards. This article dwells deeper into understanding the capabilities of the currently available SHM sensor technologies under the influence of these factors. Following the analysis, remarks are made on promising technologies and the potential they behold in future space missions.
