Space launch is a systematic engineering because of its difficulty, complexity, high reliability, and high risk. This chapter is an overview of testing and control for space launch. It presents an introduction of research subject, basic content, and related concepts. By introducing different development stages of spacecrafts and space launch vehicles (carrier rockets), the chapter elaborates the features of testing and control system in different space development stages. It focuses on intelligent data collection, processing, analysis, control and decision‐making, and discusses online detection, distributed processing, diagnosis, and decision‐making control in the process of space launch. Intelligent testing and control system is made up of six sections: parameter testing, network transmission, comprehensive data processing and analyzing, launch control, fault diagnosis, and situation assessment and intelligent decision‐making. Researchers and engineers should further study the issues of characteristic analysis of complex objects, modeling, and control decision‐making.
