Abstract

According to the Space Development Promotion Basic Plan, more than 110 satellites are expected to be deployed by 2031. Accordingly, the operation concept and technology for satellites constellation are required, compared to the existing few multi-satellite operations. It is essential to automate and optimize the mission operation system, for efficient operation of the satellite constellation, and preparations are urgently needed for the operation of satellite constellation in domestic as well. In this study, the development direction and strategy of the mission operation system applying automation and optimization for efficient operation of the satellite constellation are proposed. The framework for evaluating the automation level and priority of the mission operation system was developed, to identify the tasks to which automation should be applied preferentially.

우주개발진흥 기본계획에 따르면 2031년까지 110여 기의 위성이 운영될 것으로 예상되며, 이에 따라 기존의 소수의 다중위성 운영과는 다른 군집위성 운영을 위한 운영개념과 기술이 필요하다. 효율적인 군집위성 운영을 위해 임무운영시스템의 자동화 및 최적화가 필수적이며, 국내에서도 군집위성 운영을 위한 준비가 시급하다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 군집위성 운영을 위해 자동화 및 최적화를 적용한 임무운영시스템 발전방향 및 추진전략을 제안하였으며, 임무운영시스템의 자동화 수준 및 우선순위 평가를 위한 프레임워크를 개발하여 자동화를 우선적으로 적용하여야 하는 업무를 식별하였다.
