The automatic system for on-ground space-craft (SC) testing is outlined. The system is a hardware-software complex coupled with an SC. A program simulator of the system is described below. In this simulator the real connection to the SC is substituted by programs imitating the SC behavior. This simulator, being contained in a computer, provides means to debug the test programs without an SC. It can be used also to substitute for absent units and aggregates of the SC in the course of a real testing.
