This document provides the criteria for stable on-orbit operation of the spacecraft's AOCS. It addresses the factors affecting the spacecraft's on-orbit stability by specifying principles and requirements for establishing the spacecraft AOCS's capability for stable on-orbit operation, which include:
u000b— principles for judging data validity and the requisite procedures for handling such data;
u000b— anomaly detection;
u000b— management of software and hardware failures;
u000b— safety boundary checks;
u000b— activation protocols for emergency survival modes.
u000bThis document also establishes the functional interface between on-orbit autonomy and ground-based maintenance operations, ensuring that the spacecraft maintains its intended attitude and orbit.
u000bThis document is applicable to the attitude and orbit control systems of various types of spacecraft.
