A high energy solar physics satellite (Solar-A), an X ray astronomy satellite (Astro-D), and a space Very Long Base Interferometry (VLBI) satellite (Muses-B) are currently under development. Among the astronomy satellite series, especially high accuracy pointing control is required for the three satellites. The ACS (Attitude Control System) is important because it guarantees the performance and reliability of the ACS in orbit. This test requires the accurate and quick response dynamics simulator. The approach to the dynamics simulator using personal computers is described. The strategy of the ACS tests of the astronomy satellites, that effectively insures the performance and reliability, is presented.
