Abstract

Ground track manintenance maneuver simulations for the KOMPSAT spacecraft are performed for three and half years. Both longitude targeting and time targeting strate-gies are applied for in-plane maneuvers. The nominal longitude bands of maneuvers for $\pm5km$ and $\pm10km$ are applied for the longitude targeting and the 21-day maneuver time duration is used for the time targeting. Daily solar flux values for the simulation period are derived from the previous solar cycle values. Atmospheric drag formula for the KOMPSAT orbit altitude is derived from Jacchia model using polynomial and sinusoidal curve fitting. Total required delta velocity and proper time between successive maneuvers are estimated during ground track maintenance maneuver simulations.
