NASA's Edwin C. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a complex, modern satellite system that presents several opportunities to apply knowledge based technology. An intelligent operator aid, the Telemetry Analysis Logic for Orbiting Spacecraft (TALOS), is being built using the Lockheed Satellite Telemetry Analysis in Real-time (L*STAR) expert system tool to support real-time, ground based health and safety monitoring. Lockheed is also building applications to demonstrate how design knowledge captured in an HST Design Engineering Knowledge-base (HSTDEK) can be reused in various engineering activities. The HST Operational Readiness Expert (HSTORE), currently under development, will use captured design knowledge to support the evaluation of the orbital readiness of the Space Telescope.
