Mass-Gauging of Propellants in Reduced Overview and Zero Gravity
A plot of all channels in a range of the spectra. The modes present themselves as patterns in the spectra.
About the Project
Propellant mass gauging is required to enable the next step in NASA’s space exploration program. There is currently no reliable method to accurately measure the amount of unsettled liquid propellant in a propellant tank in micro or zero gravity. We propose a new approach to use neural networks to detect spectral peaks in simulated acoustic resonances of this environment to determine the volume fraction of a tank filled with liquid.
