Preface
The main function of a rocket is to fly reliably and stably and deliver the payload into orbit accurately. Although this should be achieved by the excellent performance of onboard systems (OBSs), ground test and launch control systems (TLCSs) also play vital roles to ensure success. On the one hand, the TLCS provides comprehensive checks and verification for the rocket’s function and performance, minimizing technological risks in advance; on the other hand, the TLCS itself is an important part of the prelaunch facilities, critical to completing the task reliably, and particularly for launch site safety. To cope with the increasing competition in the launch service market, many countries have recognized TLCS contributions. With the intensive launch activities nowadays, it is widely accepted that improving efficiency, reducing costs, and getting in
