Executive Summary :

Natural Query Processing is in high demand today from home appliances to high end electronics. User wants the results based on the inputs he gives in his own language. Natural language interfaces could actually perform useful services. In spacecraft health monitoring current practices requires aid of new domain where operation user or subsystem user gives the input to the system in natural language and in return system gives him results as he is viewing today by using multiple software and tools.The system shall process user query, generates proper inputs to multiple offline software,fetches the results from software, consolidates them and present it to user in his desired formats such as plots, tabulation, statistics, graphs etc. The building blocks for natural language processing include a semantic data model that is generated from a mix of inputs. It starts with the metadata from data model, which provides a Software Designer view of the data structure. To converse with humans, a program must understand syntax (grammar), semantics (word meaning), morphology (tense) and pragmatics (conversation). The system based on natural query processing on spacecraft health data will not only change the paradigm of data analysis and control in spacecraft control centres but also it will makeusers transparent of software functionalities and their usages.
