Application of knowledge engineering in spacecraft overall design

Abstract

This paper proposes an advanced technology in spacecraft overall design based on knowledge engineering. Knowledge engineering is a branch of artificial intelligence. Applying knowledge engineering technology to improve the efficiency and quality of overall design process and enhance the automation of overall design, moreover focusing on solving overall spacecraft design knowledge representation, knowledge evaluation, knowledge acquisition, knowledge inference and related issues. Unlike the existing methods, this paper uses ontology technology to build a pint-sized spacecraft overall design knowledge base under protégé software environment, which achieves a better performance. Finally, simulations for the designed power subsystem based on the knowledge base are performed, and the simulation results validate the effectiveness, reliability, of the power subsystem designed by the method of spacecraft overall design based on knowledge engineering.
