Abstract

“Chang’e 1” is the Chinese first Lunar Probe to the Moon. For future projects, a kind of Simulation System for the Space Exploration is studied out by CAST,----the CSESS. The result is trying to investigate the tasks’ feasibility, promote the lunar missions efficiency and reliability through adaptability, thus reduce the rover design cost and time.
As software component, The CSESS emphasizes on several subsystems working status of the lunar spacecraft during the mission profile from the soft land to the Moon surface; it also simulates some working status of potential lunar rovers. Meanwhile it integrates the phase from the Earth-liftoff to the Moon circle orbit.
In CSESS a wide variety of simulation tasks, with large a variation in conditions, can be performed. It is composed of an inventory of subsystem models and couple of support software. With dispatcher and time monitor, these models, deployed on distributed computers, can now work synchronously to simulate mission, control, communication links, and navigation subsystems status, as closely as possible, while the key techniques is the models arithmetic, the process control and the data interactive method.
