Spacecraft telemetry data monitoring by dimensionality reduction techniques

In this paper, we consider a "data-driven" anomaly detection framework for spacecraft systems using dimensionality reduction and reconstruction techniques. This method first learns a mapping from the original data space to a low dimensional space and its reverse mapping by applying linear or non-linear dimensionality reduction algorithms to a normal training data set. After the training, it applies the learned pair of mappings to a test data set to obtain a reconstructed data set, and then evaluate the reconstruction errors. We will show the results of applying several representative linear and non-lineardimensionality reduction algorithms with this framework to the electrical power subsystem (EPS) data of actual artificial satellites.
