For example, in the foreign standard "Test requirments for launch, upper-stage and space vehicles" (SMC-S-016), it is stipulated that before the start of system-level tests, all flight products and software should be installed. In the national military standard "Test Requirements for Launch Vehicles, Upper Stages and Spacecraft" (GJB 1027A-2020), the system-level test items, purposes and related test requirements are stipulated, and the test description of the vibration test describes the state of the aircraft as the launch state.

[0039] S2: Carry out modal analysis and sine response analysis on the first satellite finite element model and the second satellite finite element model respectively to compare the differences in the stiffness simulation values of the satellite body and the differences in the acceleration response simulation values at the concerned positions in the two states with and without solar wings.

[0040] Specifically, in the finite element software, through modal analysis, the stiffness simulation values of the satellite body in the two states with and without solar arrays are obtained, and the differences in the stiffness simulation values of the satellite body in the two states with and without solar arrays are obtained.

[0048] S9: Evaluate the decoupling consistency. If the evaluation result of the decoupling consistency is good, it is determined that the decoupling mechanical test of the production satellite and the solar wing can be carried out subsequently, and the specific test method can be referred to QJ 1579A-2005; if the evaluation result of the decoupling consistency is poor, it is determined that the decoupling mechanical test of the production satellite and the solar wing cannot be carried out subsequently.
