Automation of Functional and Measurement Control of Spacecrafts' Command and Measurement Systems

In this article we describe automation methods of functional and measurement control of the spacecraft onboard equipment's technological production process. We formalized the methods in form of syntax diagrams showing the key elements of test procedures. Highlighted are the main tasks solved at each stage of autonomous and comprehensive testing of the system's operation. For autonomous testing, a scenario method of test procedures' building is used. A scenario includes configuration of test equipment, parameters of measurement operations or effects towards the object of control, as well as the actions of the paired systems' simulators. For comprehensive tests, we suggest the method of automation of the object of control's interaction with test software of an industrial enterprise. Our methods have been realized in software and implemented in production allowing to make full study of the onboard equipment's properties.
