Abstract :
The spacecraft which is composed by several modules should be tested on the ground whether the modules can be separated successfully or not, and separation locomotion data should be obtained as well. This paper has described the requirements and difficulties of separation test, and has designed the zero gravity platform. The critical design parameters are obtained by the analysis result of MSC.ADAMS software. It can be concluded that the platform is correctly designed through verification of the prototype.
