Abstract: The ground system test for the manned spacecraft is one of the most efficient ways to guarantee the normal operation of the product and to satisfy the mission requirements. In this paper, based on the review of the successful experiences of the ground system test of the manned spacecraft, a system test program methodology is outlined, pinpointing on some aspects to be updated in the test program and technology. Several suggestions are made on the manned spacecraft test including the test management, the test coverage analysis, the combination of the simulation and the test, as well as the advanced test technologies and test facilities, to promote the further development and test of China’s manned spacecraft under the context of future human spaceflight missions.
