Archive data base and handling system for the Orbiter flying qualities experiment program

SECTION I INTRODUCTION CONCl3PT AND PUBPOSE OF THE OPQ DATA ARCEIVES A .

The OFQ archives have been assembled as p a r t of t h e OFQ r e s e a r c h (Refs. 1-4) i n t h e O r b i t e r Experiment (OEX) t o preserve and document s h u t t l e f l i g h t d a t a r e l e v a n t t o v e h i c l e dynamics, f l i g h t c o n t r o l , and f l y i n g q u a l i t i e s . This is a first s t e p in an e f f o r t t o make v a l u a b l e f l i g h t c o n t r o l / f l y i n g q u a l i t y data bases widely a v a i l a b l e , and e a s i l y a c c e s s i b l e t o t h e research community a t l a r g e , s o t h a t maximum use can be made of d a t a from c o s t l y f l i g h t tests and simulations. In t h e i r com- p l e t e form, t h e OFQ archives c o n t a i n d e s c r i p t i v e t e x t (e.g., g e n e r a l information about t h e f l i g h t , s i g n a l d e s c r i p t i o n s and u n i t s ) as w e l l as numerical t i m e h i s t o r y data. For a complex program such as t h e s h u t t l e O r b i t e r F l i g h t Test (OFT), the a v a i l a b i l i t y of very l a r g e q u a n t i t i e s of d a t a is a major problem. O f f i c i a l s h u t t l e f l i g h t d a t a bases such as t h e NASA JSC Master Products Data Base (MPDB), c o n t a i n thousands of s i g n a l s from a l l a s p e c t s of s h u t t l e operation f o r complete e n t r i e s . However, a t y p i c a l f l y i n g q u a l i t i e s a n a l y s i s may involve less than a dozen s i g n a l s over a " t i m e slice" of less than a minute. Thus, t h e a r c h i v e s are intended t o provide f l i g h t phase o r i e n t e d d a t a s u b s e t s with r e l e v a n t s i g n a l s which are e a s i l y i d e n t i f i e d and used. Massive f l i g h t d a t a sets r e q u i r e powerful and capacious computers such as t h e ADFRF CYBER and i t s replacement t h e ELXSI. However, f l i g h t r e s e a r c h is done by many workers a t many l o c a t i o n s on many d i f f e r e n t computers, and thus convenient r a p i d d a t a t r a n s f e r among computers and r e s e a r c h f a c i l i t i e s is very important.

The c r i t i c a l test of t h i s c a p a b i l i t y is d a t a t r a n s f e r t o a remote f a c i l - i t y where "face-to-face" help with d a t a f i l e manipulation is not gener- a l l y a v a i l a b l e . This p u t s a premium on documentation and is t h e reason f o r t h i s report. I d e a l l y much of t h i s information should a l s o r e s i d e in t h e a r c h i v e computer f i l e s .

TR-1220-1 a IMPLIED REQUIREMENTS POK DATA "IDLING B .

In t h e OFQ landing a n a l y s i s and in most f l i g h t test programs, d a t a i s obtained from a v a r i e t y of on-board and ground based instrumentation, and s t o r e d on a v a r i e t y of media i n v a r i o u s formats a t v a r i o u s sample r a t e s . Time skews among d a t a channels i s common due t o i n s t r u m e n t a t i o n f a c t o r s such as multiplexing. Thus, a s o p h i s t i c a t e d d a t a handling s y s - tem -- hardware and software -- is r e q u i r e d t o assemble d a t a archives.

Once t h e archives are assembled, t h e d a t a handling system must provide r a p i d convenient access t o t h e f i l e s , and e f f i c i e n t means of s e t t i n g up s i g n a l and time p e r i o d s u b s e t s as "working f i l e s " f o r s p e c i f i c analyses.

Magnetic tapes have t r a d i t i o n a l l y been t h e primary means f o r l a r g e scale d a t a t r a n s f e r between f a c i l i t i e s , but t h i s r e q u i r e s s p e c i a l i z e d and expensive tape d r i v e s a t both f a c i l i t i e s . Rapid development of computer telecommunications makes it now f e a s i b l e t o r o u t i n e l y t r a n s f e r reason- ably s i z e d working f i l e s by s t a n d a r d phone l i n e s . I f t h e d a t a handling system is designed t o accommodate t h i s , expensive t a p e hardware can be e l i m i n a t e d by r e l a t i v e l y inexpensive and v e r s a t i l e communication s o f t - ware with acceptable reductions in speed and c a p a c i t y .

Research in f l i g h t c o n t r o l and f l y i n g q u a l i t i e s has s p e c i a l d a t a handling requirements which arise from t h e presence of the human p i l o t .

While many t y p e s of a n a l y s i s , such as i d e n t i f i c a t i o n of aerodynamic sta- b i l i t y d e r i v a t i v e s , are w e l l s u i t e d t o algorithms coded in FORTRAN and batch processing, t h e "fuzziness" of f l y i n g q u a l i t t e s r e s e a r c h p u t s a premium on f l e x i b i l i t y i n d a t a manipulation and processing. Some of t h e s e special needs are summarized In Table 1.

C. STATUS OF TEE OFQ ARrnIVE SYSTKM The unique and s o p h i s t i c a t e d f a c i l i t i e s a t t h e NASA ADFRF and new developments i n computer technology have made it p o s s i b l e t o create a n a r c h i v e d a t a handling system s a t i s f y i n g many of the above needs simply by assembling "off the s h e l f " software. U s e of e x i s t i n g ADFRF, AFFTC, and commercial software has kept "software engineering" t o a p r a c t i c a l level.

Creation of Shuttle Archives from Basic Data Sets TR- 1220-1 14 Because each of t h e t h r e e data sets have been s t o r e d i n a d i f f e r e n t format, a unique program is required t o read each one and s t o r e t h e d e s i r e d d a t a subset on a (mass s t o r a g e ) f i l e t o make i t a v a i l a b l e f o r is s t o r e d in unformatted form f o r access by o t h e r a n a l y s i s . The d a t a are discussed in t h e following programs. These archive-reading programs subsections.

a. MMLE Data

The MMLE d a t a is archived in two forms -- compressed and uncom-

pressed. Data f o r s h u t t l e f l i g h t s 1 through 4 are s t o r e d in t h e com- pressed form; d a t a f o r later f l i g h t s are s t o r e d uncompressed. I n t h e compressed form, each channel i s r e p r e s e n t e d at its own sample rate.

Before t h i s d a t a can be used, it must be decompressed by t h e "DEPR" pro- gram developed by R. E. Maine. The decompressed d a t a f i l e is then read by the program "UMMLE," which a l s o s t o r e s a s u b s e t of t h e d a t a on a f i l e . This program provides f o r s e l e c t i o n of a subset of s i g n a l s t o be s t o r e d f o r a sub-interval of the e n t i r e e n t r y period. It a l s o provides f o r e x t r a c t i o n of every n ' t h time slice i f desired. UMMLE was c r e a t e d expressly f o r t h e OFQ d a t a handling system. See Appendices B , C , and D f o r t h e procedures f o r running DEPR and UMMLE and r e l a t e d d e t a i l s .

b. C I N E Data The CINE d a t a is read by the program "UCINE," which is a modified version of t h e AFFTC program "LISTBC." The modifications were made t o f a c i l i t a t e e x t r a c t i o n of d a t a for s h o r t t i m e i n t e r v a l s and t o s i m p l i f y t h e code. Like UMMLE, UCINE provides f o r e x t r a c t i o n of every n ' t h t i m e S l i c e ( r e c o r d ) of a s e l e c t e d subset of s i g n a l s over a chosen t i m e i n t e r - val. See Appendices B and E f o r t h e procedures f o r running UCINE and r e l a t e d d e t a i l s .

C. TOLT Data The TOLT a r c h i v e t a p e is f i r s t converted t o a d i s k f i l e , which i s t h e n read by t h e program "UTOLT." UTOLT s t o r e s a l l t h e d a t a from t h e TR- 1 2 2 0- 1 15 o r i g i n a l t a p e on a f i l e . This is a r e l a t i v e l y small amount of d a t a con- s i s t i n g of only 10 s i g n a l s a t f o u r samples p e r / s e c from an a l t i t u d e of a f e w hundred f e e t through touchdown and r o l l out. See Appendices B and F f o r t h e procedure f o r running UTOLT and r e l a t e d d e t a i l s .

2. Merging and Synchronizing the Primary Data S e t s Combination of t h e t h r e e primary source f i l e s MMLE, CINE, and TOLT i n t o a s i n g l e f i l e is done by t h e program SYNC (Ref. 8). A s u b s e t of a l l a v a i l a b l e s i g n a l s i n t h e t h r e e d a t a f i l e s can be s e l e c t e d f o r i n c l u - s i o n i n t h i s merged f i l e . The merged f i l e c o n t a i n s a v a l u e f o r each included s i g n a l at each sample t i m e . Sample t i m e s are d e f i n e d by user- s p e c i f i e d start and end times and sample rate.

Processing c o n s i s t s of passing t h e t h r e e unformatted s o u r c e d a t a f i l e s through SYNC, and converting t h e unformatted o u t p u t i n t o a f o r - matted f i l e which can be read by t h e u s e r , used by programs which accept formatted d a t a , or t r a n s m i t t e d t o o t h e r computers f o r f u r t h e r a n a l y s i s .

It should be noted t h a t f i l e s w i l l be s i g n i f i c a n t l y l a r g e r i f formatted.

In merging t h e data i n t h e t h r e e i n p u t f i l e s , SYNC provides f o r : s e l e c t i o n of s i g n a l s 0 s e l e c t i o n of s u b - i n t e r v a l 0 c o r r e c t i o n of f i x e d t i m e skews among source d a t a f i l e s 0 synchLonization of t h e d a t a t o t h e s i n g l e s e l e c t e d sample rate 0 a r b i t r a r y re-ordering of t h e s i g n a l s in t h e f i l e See Appendices B and G f o r t h e procedure f o r running SYNC and r e l a t e d d e t a i l s .

APPENDIX A AFFTC GROUND BASED TRAJECTORY MEIISUBEneNT EQUIPMENT Th i n e t h e o d o l i t e and takeoff and l a n d i n g tower d a t a is o b t i zd from k i n e t h e o d o l i t e equipment. This appendix p r e s e n t s some background i n f o r m a t i o n , much of it taken d i r e c t l y from Refs. A-1 and A-2 on t h e s e i n s t r u m e n t s .

1. Basic Operation A k i n e t h e o d o l i t e is i n p r i n c i p l e a t e l e s c o p e which can be e a s i l y r o t a t e d both i n azimuth and e l e v a t i o n t o t r a c k t h e a i r c r a f t . I n most k i n e t h e o d o l i t e s t h e t e l e s c o p e is manually d i r e c t e d towards t h e a i r c r a f t .

Attached t o t h e t e l e s c o p e , w i t h its o p t i c a l axis a l i g n e d p a r a l l e l t o t h a t of t h e s e a r c h t e l e s c o p e , is a n o t h e r t e l e s c o p e w i t h l o n g e r f o c a l l e n g t h , through which a camera takes p i c t u r e s of t h e a i r c r a f t . The a z i - muth and e l e v a t i o n are measured and recorded w i t h an a c c u r a t e l y known frequency i n t h e range of 1 t o 4 p e r second, in a few systems up t o 30 frames p e r second. These azimuth and e l e v a t i o n v a l u e s provide t h e f i r s t - o r d e r d i r e c t i o n i n which the a i r c r a f t w a s seen. A c o r r e c t i o n on t h i s d i r e c t i o n is obtained by measuring t h e p o s i t i o n of t h e a i r c r a f t w i t h r e s p e c t t o c r o s s h a i r s on t h e camera p i c t u r e s , which are made a t e x a c t l y t h e same t i m e as t h e azimuth and e l e v a t i o n recordings.

I f a s i n g l e k i n e t h e o d o l i t e i s used f o r measuring a t r a j e c t o r y , it is u s u a l l y placed t o t h e s i d e of t h e t r a j e c t o r y t o be measured. It i s t h e n assumed t h a t t h e a i r c r a f t remains i n t h e v e r t i c a l p l a n e through t h e run- way c e n t r e l i n e . The p o s i t i o n of t h e a i r c r a f t can t h e n be c a l c u l a t e d from t h e d i s t a n c e between t h e k i n e t h e o d o l i t e and t h e runway c e n t r e l i n e and t h e azimuth and e l e v a t i o n under which t h e k i n e t h e o d o l i t e sees t h e a i r c r a f t . I n most i n s t a l l a t i o n s , i n c l u d i n g t h e AFFTC, m u l t i p l e kine- t h e o d o l i t e s are used t o o b t a i n najch h i g h e r accuracy. For i n s t a n c e , i f two i n s t r u m e n t s are used i n t h e c o n f i g u r a t i o n of Fig. A-1, and t h e TR-1220-1 A- 1 Z X Figure A-1. T y p i c a l Deployment of Two Kin t h e o d o l i t e s ( t a k e n from Ref. A-1) measurements are p e r f e c t such t h a t t h e s i g h t l i n e s of both i n s t r u m e n t s i n t e r s e c t at t h e a i r c r a f t , t h e n t h e a i r c r a f t p o s i t i o n is given by sin A1 s i n A2

2. Instrument D e t a i l s The AFFTC uses both Askania and Contraves k i n e t h e o d o l i t e s . The lat- ter are r e f e r r e d t o as " c i n e t h e o d o l i t e s . " The Askania i n s t r u m e n t i s TR-1220-1 A-2 probably t h e o l d e s t type s t i l l i n g e n e r a l use. More modern systems, such as t h e Contraves c i n e t h e o d o l i t e s g e n e r a l l y have electrical methods f o r measuring e l e v a t i o n and azimuth, which must be read from t h e f i l m i n t h e Askania t h e o d o l i t e s . Modern k i n e t h e o d o l i t e s have o t h e r f e a t u r e s , such as t h e u s e of r a d a r f o r e a r l y d e t e c t i o n of an approaching t a r g e t , but t h e Askania system provides an accuracy s i m i l a r t o t h a t of t h e more modern systems and i s r e l a t i v e l y e a s i l y t r a n s p o r t e d . For t h i s reason Askania k i n e t h e o d o l i t e s are s t i l l used i n many p a r t s of t h e world where no instrumented test ranges are a v a i l a b l e .

A k i n e t h e o d o l i t e system c o n s i s t s of two o r more k i n e t h e o d o l i t e s and a command s t a t i o n . Each Askania k i n e t h e o d o l i t e c o n s i s t s of t h r e e main p a r t s : 0 A p e d e s t a l , which stands on t h r e e l e v e l i n g screws.

The t e l e s c o p e system f o r use by t h e o p e r a t o r s who p o i n t t h e system t o t h e a i r c r a f t . There are two t e l e s c o p e s , one on each s i d e . I f t h e k i n e t h e o d o l i t e is o p e r a t e d by two persons, each u s e s one of t h e t e l e s c o p e s and one oper- a t o r moves t h e system only i n azimuth, t h e o t h e r only i n e l e v a t i o n . These t e l e s c o p e s have a f i e l d of view of 6 deg and a magnifi- c a t i o n of 10.

-- The camera system, t h a t moves w i t h t h e tele-

scopes. The 35 mm camera has i n t e r c h a n g e a b l e lenses. The choice of t h e l e n s depends on t h e average d i s t a n c e of t h e a i r c r a f t from t h e k i n e t h e o d o l i t e and on t h e t y p e of maneuvers t h a t are executed. Four f o c a l l e n g t h s are a v a i l a b l e : 300 mm ( f i e l d of view 7 deg), 600 mm (3.3 deg), 1000 mm (2.1 deg) and 2000 mm ( 1 deg). The l a t t e r two are cata- d i o p t r i c m i r r o r t e l e s c o p e s . The exposure t i m e is f i x e d at 1/150 sec. Two o t h e r sys- tems p r o j e c t images on t h e p i c t u r e : a frame number and t h e azimuth and e l e v a t i o n scales.

These l a t t e r are p r o j e c t e d i n t h e upper cor- n e r s of t h e frames, whereby t h e scales are i l l u m i n a t e d by f l a s h l i g h t s ) . The maximum frame rate of t h e camera is 20/sec.

There is an a c o u s t i c warning i f t h e f i l m t r a n s p o r t f a i l s .

The command s t a t i o n is connected t o a l l k i n e t h e o d o l i t e s being oper- .

a t e d e i t h e r by c a b l e o r by radio. The f u n c t i o n of t h e command s t a t i o n is t o generate commands t o a l l cameras ( t h e r e b y e n s u r i n g t h a t a l l cam- eras t a k e p i c t u r e s w i t h n e g l i g i b l e t i m e d i f f e r e n c e ) and t o r e c o r d t h e t i m e of each command and of t h e s h u t t e r c o n t a c t i n each camera. The commands s e n t t o t h e camera o p e r a t e t h e s h u t t e r , f l a s h l i g h t and f i l m t r a n s p o r t ; t h e t i m e s a t which t h e s h u t t e r s a c t u a l l y o p e r a t e are s e n t back t o t h e command s t a t i o n .

3 . Data Processing The g o a l of t h e d a t a processing is t o produce t h e azimuth and eleva- t i o n values of t h e r e f e r e n c e point on t h e a i r c r a f t from each p i c t u r e .

During f i l m reading t h e azimuth and e l e v a t i o n v a l u e s and t h e p i c t u r e are read and t h e p o s i t i o n of t h e r e f e r e n c e p o i n t on t h e a i r c r a f t number r e l a t i v e t o t h e c r o s s h a i r s is measured.

A6 a l r e a d y mentioned, i n many t h e o d o l i t e s t h e e l e v a t i o n and azimuth scales have been r e p l a c e d by coded d i s c s , t h e p o s i t i o n s of which can be d i r e c t l y recorded a t t h e com- are a v a i l a b l e i n which v a r i a b l e mag- mand s t a t i o n . Complex f i l m readers n i f i c a t i o n of the p r o j e c t o r and simple movement of t h e p i c t u r e can be used t o p o s i t i o n f i d u c i a l markings on t h e p r o j e c t i o n t a b l e , and i n which t h e p o s i t i o n of t h e c r o s s h a i r s used t o measure t h e r e f e r e n c e p o i n t on t h e a i r c r a f t p i c t u r e is recorded d i r e c t l y when a f o o t s w i t c h is pressed.
