Abstract Space environments and their effects have threatened the reliability and lifetime of spacecraft materials and structures. Besides flight tests, ground simulation tests are essential to evaluate the property degradation of spacecraft materials and structures. However, restricted by the technology, ground simulation cannot reproduce totally the space environments. Space environments and their effects are introduced firstly in this paper, and then a study on the effectiveness of ground simulation testing for spacecraft to imitate space environmental effects is reported, and some key problems and key technologies are analyzed. At last, some advices to improve the effectiveness of ground simulation testing are proposed.
