Abstract

The STSAT-3 (science and technology satellite) is the first satellite whose entire structure was made of composite materials in Korea and it will be launched later in 2011. As like other small satellites, it is also equipped with several advanced instruments whose major objectives focused on the scientific tests in space. The HPS (hall thruster propulsion system) using xenon gas as a propellant has been developed and its overall ground tests were conducted. This research emphasizes on the technologies and procedure applied to the development of the entire HPS and its function and environment tests.

최신기술이 적용된 전구조 복합재 위성인 과학기술위성 3호 (STSAT-3)가 국내 최초로 개발 되었으며 2011년 발사예정이다. 모든 위성과 마찬가지로 과기 3호에는 다수의 탑재체가 탑재될 예정이며 그 주된 목적은 선진 우주기술의 과학적 검증에 있다. 제논 가스를 연료로 하는 홀추력기가 국내 최초로 개발되어 지상시험을 거친 후 과기3호에 탑재되었다. 본 연구는 홀추력기 개발에 적용된 전반적인 개발기술, 절차, 기능 및 환경시험에 대한 내용이며 선진 우주기술 획득 및 차후 위성개발을 위한 기술자료 축적에 그 중요성이 있다.
