Software support for testing of large spacecraft reflector and evaluation of the operation parameters of component weight compensation system

Modern trends in the development of space industry focused on rapid market growth in broadband services. Spacecraft with transformable large-sized reflectors created a new round in the competition for the consumer. The reliability of any equipment for use in the spacecraft decisively depends on the quality of their experimental testing ground. To ensure high quality terrestrial experimental testing requires the creation of technologies, metrological maintenance, specialized equipment - an automated high-precision active component of a multichannel system weight compensate. The structure of the platform automation, consistent workflow testing, has been developed.The authors have the set of tasks and identified the main functions of test preparation and conduction that require software support. For this purpose, we have built a simulation model of thefunctioning of the system software component of the weight compensation. Developed software subsystems provide the visibility building complex sequences of test procedures, as well as the convenience and accuracy of the results display. Implemented software monitoring tools allow testing of the physical characteristics of large antennas and convertible analysis of its functioning logic with constant monitoring to provide information on the real state of the equipment. The developed software is implemented in the hardware and software system for performing testing of large transformable antenna system weight component of compensation. Using the software extends the capabilities of the large study convertible antenna and improves the quality and reliability of the tests carried out.
