THE ASONIKA SYSTEM-A NEW ELECTRONICS DEVELOPMENT TOOL

摘要

All modern systems use electronic components and circuits - it's almost inevitable. But for all their prevalence, if one of these electronic components doesn't work, then it's most likely that the whole system won't function either. Vibration, shock, heat, electromagnetic fields, radiation and other external factors can all impair the operation of electronics. That's why tests are a very important part of electronic equipment manufacture. Tests, however, are costly, can take a long time and yet still not cover all the conditions an electronic system might go through in practice. Only too often we hear of high-impact disasters including spacecraft crashes, such as GLONASS, Fobos-Grunt, Meridian, PROTON and others. It doesn't help that there are hardly any spacecraft electronic system simulation tests available covering a very wide range of factors that may affect these systems in real life. It is also impossible to carry out spacecraft electronics simulation tests without specialized software that tests not just the electronics and its components, but also the materials they are made of.
