1.      Platform Introduction

2.      Platform Features

1. Prototype Verification: In the advanced aerospace engineering field, the cost of developing satellites is very high, and the development period is very short. With the establishment of this platform, users can start to perform prototype simulation verification of satellite-borne computers in the early stage of plan design.
2. Normal Operating Condition Test: In order to test the real-time performance of the software and hardware of satellite-borne computers, an external real-time simulation environment of satellite-borne computers needs to form a loop with satellite-borne computers. This external simulation environment should be able to correctly and flexibly simulate, in real time, satellite motions, attitude sensors, execution mechanisms, various faults and boundary conditions, etc. If you use a special simulator to test satellite-borne computer software and hardware, it will be very time-consuming and inflexible. This platform can simulate such an external environment in a swift and low-cost manner.
3. Abnormal Status Simulation: Besides testing satellite-borne computer software and hardware in normal status, you also need to simulate abnormal status to check whether satellite computers can effectively and promptly handle abnormalities.
