Abstract

In the recent New Space era, Nanosatellites are being used to carry out space business and practical missions by private space companies, government agencies and military reconnaissance organizations, away from satellite system education tools. In Korea, the development of nanosatellite satellites, which started with universities at the center, is gradually being attempted by various subjects, including private industries. However, it is not easy to find relevant information to share the experience and prepare for the space environment test, test results, and the various problems that may arise in the process, which can increase the chances of mission success for nanosatellites. In this paper, we expect that the subjects who want to develop the nanosatellite(SNIPE) will be used as useful references for reducing trial and error and increasing the possibility of mission success by organizing the 6U-class space environment test, test process, test results and problems.

최근 New Space 시대를 맞이하여 초소형위성이 위성시스템 교육용 도구에서 벗어나 민간 우주 산업체, 정부 기관 및 군정찰 기관에서도 우주 비즈니스 및 실질적인 임무 수행을 위해 활용되는 추세이다. 국내에서도 대학을 중심으로 시작한 초소형위성 개발이 점차 민간 산업체를 비롯하여 다양한 주체들이 시도하고 있다. 하지만 초소형위성의 임무 성공 가능성을 높일 수 있는 우주환경시험의 수행 준비 과정과 시험 결과 그리고 그 과정에서 발생되어 질 수 있는 여러 가지 문제들에 대해 정리되고, 그 경험을 공유할 수 있는 자료를 국내에서 찾기가 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 국내 최초로 개발되고 있는 6U급 초소형위성(SNIPE)의 우주환경시험의 준비부터 시험 수행 과정, 시험 결과 그리고 문제점들을 정리함으로써 나노급 초소형위성(Nanosatellite)을 개발하고자 하는 주체들이 시행착오를 줄이고 임무 성공 가능성을 높이는 데 유용한 참고자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
