Distributed FBG Sensors Apply in Spacecraft Health Monitoring

At present, Spacecraft manufacturing face with high adventure for its complicate structure, serious space environment and not maintained on orbit. When something wrong with spacecraft, monitoring its health state, supply health data in real time would assure quickly locate error and save more time to rescue it. For FBG sensor can distributed test several parameters such as temperature, strain, vibration and easily construct net. At same time, it has more advantages such as ant-radiate, anti-jamming, rodent-resistant and with long lifetime, which more fit for applying in space. In this paper, a spacecraft health monitor system based on FBG sensors is present, Firstly, spacecraft health monitor system and its development are introduced. Then a four channels FBG demodulator is design. At last, Temperature and strain detecting experiment is done. The result shows that the demodulator fully satisfied the need of spacecraft health monitor system.
