## Case Study: NASA Arc Jet Data Acquisition System Powered by STAR-GOAT

![NASA Arc Jet Facility - LabVIEW data acquisition system compliant with NPR 7150.2](https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/arc-arcjet.jpg)

JKI successfully implemented the DASU (Data Acquisition System Upgrade) for NASA's Arc Jet Complex at Ames Research Center. The project leveraged JKI's STAR-GOAT platform, our flexible software solution designed specifically for aerospace testing environments. This Class C software system required compliance with NPR 7150.2 requirements.

- **Challenge:** Replace obsolete data acquisition hardware with a modern system while meeting NASA's software engineering requirements
- **Approach:** Implemented a comprehensive Software Development Plan (SDP) with rigorous verification and validation procedures
- **Results:** Successful delivery of a compliant system that surpassed the capabilities of the legacy system while meeting all NASA requirements
- **Implementation:** Utilized STAR-GOAT's robust architecture which already incorporates many NPR 7150.2 best practices such as deterministic control, comprehensive data logging, and rigorous error handling

This project provided the foundation for JKI's NASA Compliance Package, which has been refined and expanded for use across various LabVIEW applications.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Is this package only for NASA contractors? +

No, our NASA Compliance Package is valuable for any organization developing mission-critical LabVIEW applications that require high reliability, thorough testing, and formal development processes. While it was developed based on our experience with NASA projects, the procedures and practices are applicable to many high-reliability applications in aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial sectors.

Does the package support all software classifications (A-F)? +

JKI's SDP was originally developed for a Class C, non-safety-critical application, but can easily be adapted to apply for rigorous Class A requirements, or can be relaxed to streamline non safety critical applications of any class.

How does STAR-GOAT help with NASA compliance? +

STAR-GOAT is JKI's aerospace testing platform that was built following NASA software engineering principles. Its architecture incorporates many NPR 7150.2 requirements by design, which significantly reduces the effort needed to achieve compliance for mission-critical aerospace applications. STAR-GOAT features deterministic control capabilities, comprehensive data logging, and robust error handling—all key elements of NASA's software engineering requirements.

Can the compliance package be customized for our specific project? +

Absolutely. We work with you to tailor the compliance package to your specific project requirements while ensuring all applicable NASA requirements are met. The tailoring process is actually built into the NPR 7150.2 standard itself, and our package includes the procedures for properly documenting and getting approval for tailored requirements.

How does JKI implement NASA's SWE-134 safety-critical requirements in LabVIEW? +

JKI's implementation of SWE-134 for safety-critical software includes LabVIEW-specific patterns for initialization to known safe states, integrity checking on inputs/outputs, and prerequisite checks prior to execution of safety-critical commands.

What documentation is required for NPR 7150.2 Class C software in LabVIEW? +

For Class C software under NPR 7150.2, JKI provides templates for all required documentation including Software Development Plan (SDP), Software Requirements Specification (SRS), Software Design Description (SDD), Software Test Plan (STP), and Software Version Description (SVD). These templates are specifically adapted for LabVIEW development while maintaining full compliance with NASA standards.
