In the field of aerospace, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) processing technology plays a vital role, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. ** Parts manufacturing: ** Spacecraft parts usually require precision machining to ensure their quality, reliability and performance. CNC Machining enables high precision machining of complex parts, such as thrusters, track adjusters, structural parts, etc.

2. ** Model making and testing: ** In the process of spacecraft design and development, various models need to be made for testing and verification. CNC machining can quickly and accurately produce a variety of complex shape models for pneumatic testing, structural strength testing and so on.

3. ** Spacecraft assembly: ** Spacecraft assembly requires high-precision parts to ensure the stability and safety of the entire system. CNC machining can produce parts that meet the design requirements, making the assembly of the spacecraft smoother.

4. ** Ground equipment manufacturing: ** In addition to the manufacturing of the spacecraft itself, the space field also needs a large number of ground support equipment and test equipment. These devices often also require high-precision machining, and CNC technology can meet these needs and improve the performance and reliability of ground equipment.

5. ** Repair and maintenance: ** The spacecraft may be damaged or worn during use and need to be repaired and maintained. CNC machining can produce precisely matched parts for spacecraft repair and renewal.

The role of CNC machining in the space field is very extensive, it can improve the manufacturing quality and efficiency of spacecraft, but also provides important support for scientific research and development in the space field.
