%X To write a satellite simulator specification for a relatively simple satellite may be simple as the information can be shared among the small group of hardware experts, system engineers and software programmers. However, this becomes extremely difficult as the number of people involved increases. This paper focuses on questions related to how to write effective simulator specification documents to describe the behavior of complex satellites, in such a manner that the specification be comprehensive and clear to all the people involved in the simulator project development. Subsystem designers, system architects, electrical, mechanic and software engineers, as well as mathematicians and programmers with a diverse assortment of backgrounds and different points of view are supposed to work together towards a common goal, which is the development of an operational satellite simulator. Consequently, the greatest challenge to build a satellite simulator is to find a common language, understandable and acceptable by every stakeholder, yet powerful enough to describe the satellite behavior in sufficient detail. The current existing standards for satellite simulators were found to lack some important details concerning how to write specifications of the models, in a precise manner. This paper presents the representation of the knowledge about the subsystems behavior in every its states through well-organized tables. This solution aimed to reduce the gap in the language to represent the satellite behavior in the Specification of the Operational Simulator of the CBERS 3&4 Satellite being developed at INPE.
