Electrical Ground Support Equipment(EGSE) Hardware Design for the Communication, Ocean & Metrological Satellite(COMS)

통신해양기상위성 전기적 지상 성능시험 장치 하드웨어 설계

The COMS(Communication, Ocean & Meteorological Satellite) is the geostationary satellite which will be performing three main objectives such as meteorological service, ocean monitoring and Ka-band satellite communications. This paper reports on the hardware architecture of the system electrical ground support equipment(EGSE) for the COMS satellite. EGSE is used to check out satellite during the development prior to lunch. The EGSE represented in this paper consist of two parts. First, I will deal with the OCOE(Overall Check Out Equipment) system which controls and operates the all EGSE system. In second part, we will introduce the SCOE(Specific Check Out Equipment) systems which can test the specific subsystems of the COMS satellite.
