Abstract

The preliminary mission analysis of a lunar lander, which is mounted on the upper stage of a Korean space launch vehicle, is performed when landing on the moon through a trans-lunar injection maneuver after being injected into the earth's low orbit by th launcher in this paper. Both direct landing and orbital landing methods, which have each advantage and disadvantages, are applied and their transfer orbit characteristics are analyzed according to the launch date when launching in lunar October 2030. We also analyzed the launch dates which satisfying eclipse conditions, solar elevation conditions, and tracking time intervals such as the US lunar lander Surveyor-1. The obtained results show that the most appropriate launch date is the 4th day of lunar October in case of direct landing method, and the 3rd day in case of indirect landing method, since the argument of perigee of the trans-lunar injection orbit and eclipse conditions are favorable in the dates.

본 논문에서는 달착륙선이 국내 개발된 발사체 상단에 탑재되어 지구 저궤도에 투입되고, 이후 달 전이 궤도 투입 기동을 통해 달에 착륙할 경우에 대한 예비 임무 분석을 수행하였다. 각각의 장단점이 있는 직접 착륙 방식 및 간접 착륙 방식을 모두 적용해보았으며, 2030년 음력 10월에 발사할 경우 발사 일에 따른 전이 궤도 특성을 분석하였다. 여기에 미국의 달착륙선 Surveyor-1과 같이 일식 조건, 태양 고도각 조건 및 추적 가능 시간대를 만족시키는 발사 일을 분석해 보았다. 직접 착륙 방식의 경우는 음력 10월중 4일, 간접 착륙 방식의 경우는 3일에 발사할 경우 근지점 이각과 일식 조건에 있어서 가장 적합한 발사일로 분석되었다.
