This work was supported by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) through project No. FR23L01. Song YJ took the lead in designing the DSN interface for flight dynamics operation and writing the manuscript. Hong SB took the lead in handling most of the interface tests data as well as tests with DSN. Authors would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Deep Space Network (DSN) team, especially Sandy W. Kwan, Sami Asmar, Timothy Pham, Jay Adams, Jeanne Makihara, Kade Peich, Rylee Mitchell, and finally, Bryan Snook from NASA Johnsons Space Center (JSC), for their invaluable contributions to the overall success of the KPLO project. We would like to extend our gratitude to all of our colleagues at KARI and NASA for their tireless efforts and support throughout this endeavor.
