Abstract: A pod performance test system for a near space aerostat includes: a HCI test control device, a motion simulation control device, a suspension device, and a motion simulation anti-twisting mechanism. The HCI test control device is electronically connected to the motion simulation control device, the motion simulation anti-twisting mechanism and a pod of the near space aerostat separately. The motion simulation control device is electronically connected to the motion simulation anti-twisting mechanism. The motion simulation anti-twisting mechanism is connected to the pod by a connector. The motion simulation control device controls the motion simulation anti-twisting mechanism to simulate various complex motion states according to a motion control parameter from the HCI test control device, and thus the pod is in the various complex motion states. When the pod is in the various complex motion states, performance test results of the pod under the various complex motion states can be obtained.
