The invention relates to a spaceborne measurement and control 
transponder self-testing 
system and method based on a lower computer, and aims to overcome disadvantages in the prior art, develop the self-detection and self-testing functions of a spaceborne measurement and control 
transponder, and transplant a part of ground test tasks onto a 
satellite, so that intelligent and 
batch production requirements of 
satellite test tasks can be rapidly responded. On the basis of the existing testing 
system and method and experiences, a build-in test BIT technology is introduced in single 
machine design of the spaceborne measurement and control 
transponder; therefore, due to 
software function configuration, after receiving a ground uplink self-testing instruction, the measurement and control transponder monitors and interprets related 
telemetry parameters, obtains and analyzes the main function and the internal working state of the core module of the measurement and control transponder autonomously and rapidly, and completes 
telemetry downloading of a self-testing result; and thus, the spaceborne measurement and control transponder has a module self-testing function. By means of the spacebornemeasurement and control transponder self-testing 
system and method based on the lower computer disclosed by the invention, the comprehensive testing efficiency and the 
automation degree of the 
satellite are improved; furthermore, the original normal working mode is not influenced; and the spaceborne measurement and control transponder self-testing method is high in universality and easy to expand, and applied to other single 
machine equipment on the satellite.
