DEVELOPMENT OF TRACKING AND OBSERVING SYSTEM FOR MAN-MADE SPACE OBJECTS

Recently, we have reconstructed LX-200 12inch telescope system for tracking and observing man-made space object. Motor, motor driver and motion controller were up-graded for getting faster respond characteristic and active control available. Also, command signal was offered to the PID controller into motor driver as computed real orbiting information of objects using PC, and it's control period of command signal was reduced to the 20ms. As the result, slew speed of the mount system was in proved up to $18^{\circ}/sec$ and respond speed of the system was faster than that of commercial system. Also, flipping state of image observed could be minimized by the up-graded system.

인공우주물체 추적 및 관측용 시스템 개발

인공우주물체의 추적 및 관측을 위해 LX-200 12인치 망원경시스템을 도입하여 시스템의 구동부(모터, 모터드라이버, 모션컨트롤러)를 응답특성이 빠르고 능동제어가 가능한 것으로 개선하였다. 또한, PC를 이용하여 대상물의 실시간 궤적정보를 계산하여 모터 드라이버 내의 PID 제어기에 신호를 제공하였고, 명령신호 제어주기도 20ms까지 줄였다. 그 결과, 가대의 구동속도는 $18^{circ}/sec$로 향상되고 상용시스템보다 응답속도가 빠르며 대상물의 이미지 관측시 flipping 현상을 최소화하는 시스템을 개발하였다.
