Abstract

Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) has the hybrid mission of meteorological observation, ocean monitoring, and telecommunication service. The COMS is located at $128.2{\circ}$ east longitude on the geostationary orbit and currently under normal operation service since April 2011. In order to perform the three missions, the COMS has 3 separate payloads, the meteorological imager (MI), the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), and the Ka-band communication payload. The satellite controls for the three mission operations and the satellite maintenance are done by the real-time operation which is the activity to communicate directly with the satellite through command and telemetry. In this paper the real-time operation for COMS is discussed in terms of the ground station configuration and the characteristics of daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal, and yearly operation activities. The successful real-time operation is also confirmed with the one year operation results for 2011 which includes both the latter part of the In-Orbit-Test (IOT) and the first year normal operation of the COMS.

통신, 해양, 기상의 세 분야 복합 임무를 수행하는 천리안위성(Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite: COMS)은 정지궤도 동경 $128.2{\circ}$에서 2011년 4월부터 현재 정상 운영 임무를 수행하고 있다. 세 임무를 수행하기 위해 천리안위성에는 3가지 탑재체인 기상탑재체(Meteorological Imager: MI), 해양탑재체(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager: GOCI), 통신탑재체(Ka-band communication payload)가 실려 있다. 세 가지 임무 운영과 위성 유지 관리를 위해 위성 관제가 실시간 운영으로 수행된다. 위성 실시간 운영은 명령과 원격측정자료를 통해 위성과 직접 통신하는 업무이다. 본 논문에서는 천리안위성의 실시간 운영 특성으로 지상국 장비 구성과 일일, 주간, 월간, 계절별, 연간 운영 업무 특성을 논하였다. 천리안위성의 궤도상 시험(In-Orbit-Test: IOT) 말기와 정상 운영 첫 해가 포함되는 2011년의 1년간 운영 결과에 대한 토의를 통해 성공적인 실시간 운영 결과 확인도 제시하였다.
