Abstract

Due to the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit around the Sun and the obliquity of the Earth rotation axis against ecliptic frame, the apparent solar time differs from the mean solar time. Since the solar array of a GEO satellite makes a turn in mean solar day, the Sun pointing error of solar array is introduced over the year due to the equation of time. In this paper, efficient methods of compensating the equation of time to keep the solar array pointing the Sun are presented and verified with realistic simulation.

지구 주위 궤도를 공전하는 위성체가 지구 지향 자세를 유지할 경우, 위성체에 장착된 태양전지판이 태양지향을 할 수 없기 때문에 태양전지판구동기를 장착하여 태양전지판이 태양을 지향하도록 운용한다. 이 때 태양 주변을 공전하는 지구 공전궤도의 이심율과 지구 자전축의 기욺으로 인해 태양전지판이 태양을 지향하는 위치가 계절에 따라 변경되어 균시차가 발생하는데 본 논문에서는 자세안정화 요구조건에 따라 두 개의 속도로 운용하는 태양전지판구동기 운용의 경우에 대해 균시차로 인한 태양지향 오차를 효과적으로 보상하는 운용 방안에 대해서 기술하고 실제적인 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한 결과를 제시한다.
