The paper describes the system, realized as a software package for computer simulation, verification and quality testing of attitude control system of small satellites. The system permits to check up the quality of chosen control algorithms and to evaluate the influence of faults in determination of current phase vector of satellite owing to errors of sensors, failures in control loops, influence of external dynamic perturbations. The system can operate in two modes devoted to test passive and active attitude control systems respectively.
