Abstract

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN) were used to estimate Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) sensor values for sensor validation. The High Pressure Oxidizer Turbine (HPOT) discharge temperature, a redlined parameter, was estimated during the startup transient of nominal engine operation and during simulated input sensor failures. The K-Means clustering algorithm was used on the data for placement of the basis function centers. The performance of the RBFNN is compared with that of a feedforward neural network trained with the Quickprop learning algorithm.
