Given Artemis II as the first crewed lunar mission in decades, significant effort is directed towards understanding Space Launch System (SLS) response to failures of the three inertial sensors: two Ring-Laser Gyro Assemblies (RGAs) and the Redundant Inertial Navigation Unit (RINU). Parametric studies identify Loss of Mission (LOM) or Loss of Crew (LOC) sensitive mission phases. Fault Detection & Isolation (FDI) algorithms’ thresholds’ performance is assessed with respect to detecting LOM or LOC causing sensor failures. Monte Carlo studies are performed targeting specific trajectory phases for insight into re-optimizing FDI thresholds and improving knowledge of SLS sensor failure response statistics.
