Modern requirements in the field of space services and technologies demand from space vehicle (SV) and onboard equipment manufacturers the reduction of terms and expenses from design, qualifications, the manufacturing and tests of onboard equipment and space vehicles, and the increase in reliability and the quality of the products. This is required at constant minimization of their energy and mass features. Thus, it is necessary to achieve an essential economization of resources: human, financial, and material during simultaneous reduction of design terms for spacecraft. Modern radio-electronic equipment (REE) based on programmed logic integrated schemes (COTT software VELVET), microcontrollers, built-in computing modules etc. demand special debugging facilities. The designing of the REE is organized as a constant interaction between the software developer and the developer of schemes. Flexibly organized equipment, which gives a chance at any moment to spend fast reconfiguration of test apparatus and interesting experiments, allows spending optimally on the REE debugging works. Currently at JSC Information Satellite SystemsReshetnev Company – there is an intensity of schedules for manufacturing REE of modern space vehicles for carrying out working off tests at a scale of Earth-based experimental works; there is also a complete set of exclusively high regular products. The necessity to increase the efficiency of the working REE and to reduce its terms for restored products, involves the creation of unified and automated workplaces for experimental Earthbased REE works, which concern management blocks. The blocks of management, which are part of an onboard complex of management developed at the enterprise (BM OCM) for modern and perspective space vehicles, are designed according to a modular principle.
