METHOD OF TESTING THE CONTROL CHANNEL OF SPACE VEHICLE ON-BOARD EQUIPMENT. Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04B7/00 

FIELD: space.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to control of space vehicles (SV). In the method for testing the control channel of onboard spacecraft equipment, they form a complex of models of hardware and software means for simulating equipment and SV systems capable of receiving control commands and generating TM information, not distinguishable for the MCC operator from real TM information, close to the model-simulators real hardware and software of the MCC for managing the spacecraft and receiving TM information and in accordance with the documentation for the control of the spacecraft, from the regular terminal of the MCC issue control commands, which determine any modes of functioning of the satellite provided for in the documentation, and analyze the corresponding TM information. In order to improve the quality and reliability of testing the control channel, the used in the testing model of the on-board control system (OCS) with real on-board software (OS) of the OS are used. At the same time, an emulator of the on-board computer is developed for the functioning of a real OS.

EFFECT: invention technical result is increase in accuracy and reliability of thermal control.
