Modeling of onboard systems operation of small satellites

Abstract

An approach for simulating the operation of onboard systems of small satellites has been developed. The purpose of the technique is to simulate all possible combinations of malfunctions in the onboard systems of the small satellite, leading to the occurrence of abnormal situations during their operation. As a result of using the technique, a list of emergency situations is created, which is later used to create programs for complex testing of small satellite on-board equipment at the ground testing stage. The use of the technique leads to a reduction in time for the preparation of tests and simplifies the process of preparing documentation for small satellite operation.
