Virtual Spacecraft Technology during Micro-spacecraft Lifecycle

A new methodology and pattern was proposed to design micro-spacecraft based on virtual Technology. Virtual micro-spacecraft is an integrated mathematical model represented as key technologies from multi-discipline in spacecraft which performs the optimization of scheme design, virtual environmental test and simulation of on-orbit flight mission thus provides an effective method to digitalized design and parallel development of micro-spacecraft. The technologies of virtual spacecraft proposed were verified through analyzing key technologies virtual spacecraft based-on prototype system. The innovative results can effectively impulse the development and progress of micro-spacecraft technology.
