COMS In-Orbit Tests(IOT), performed from July, 2010 to Jan, 2011, were successfully completed and the scientific data from MI and GOCI has been distributed officially from April, 2011. This paper focuses on the geometric calibration system tests conducted during the IOT. The geometric calibration process, which is one of the primary objectives of the IOT is the final step of COMS data pre-processing. The basic principles of the geometric calibration (or image navigation and registration, INR) algorithm for COMS are described and the functional and performance tests of COMS INR system were summarized according to the COMS IOT phases. Final performance testes were carried out using data sets acquired from the real-time COMS data pre-processing system. Geometric calibration accuracy of the COMS data showed excellent quality and met requirement specifications.

위성의 자세를 결정하기 위해서는 위성체에 탑재된 각종 센서들을 사용된다. 이러한 센서 중에서 고정밀도의 자세결정을 위해서는 별추적기를 사용한다. 별 추적기를 통한 위성체의 자세결정은 CCD 이미지로부터 여러 가지 별패턴인식(star pattern recognition) 방법을 통하여 CCD의 FOV(Field of View)내의 별들을 인식, 자세정보를 추출하여 이루어진다. 이러한 과정은 운용중인 위성체내에서 실시간으로 처리되어야 하므로 빠른 처리속도, 높은 신뢰도, 그리고 위성체내에 저장되어지는 자료의 양도 가능한 적어야 한다는 제한 요소들이 있다. 이러한 별추적기의 별패턴인식 방법으로는 CCD의 FOV내에 존재하는 각 쌍의 별들의 각거리를 이용하는데, 위성체의 이전자세정보의 필요 여부, searching phase 등에 따라서 나누어진다. 본 연구에서는 선행자료를 필요로 하지 않는 k-vector SPIT(Star-Pair Identification Technique)를 사용하여 CCD이미지와 위성체에 저장된 별 카탈로그(star catalog)와 비교한 후, 각각의 별들을 인식(identification)할 수 있는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 또한 선행자세자료를 필요로 하는 패턴인식방법을 구현하여 이들을 비교하였다.

우주발사체의 비행 목표는 위성의 궤도 투입이다. 이를 위해서는 발사체에서 요구되는 추력값과 총추력을 보장하는 추진기관이 개발되어야 한다. 엔진은 엔진 자체의 작동 안정성을 위해서 유량제어를 필요로 하지만, 이뿐만이 아니라, 발사체의 비행임무 수행을 위해서도 추진제가 모두 소진되는 시스템(TDS:Tank Depletion System) 개념이 도입되어야 하며, 이는 유량 제어를 통해서 실현된다. 본 연구에서는 우주발사체의 비행임무 수행에 필요한 즉, 총추력 오차 범위, 추력 오차 범위, 추진제 탑재량 및 잔류량 오차범위 관점에서 필요한 추진기관에 요구되는 성능을 검토하였고, 이를 위해 TDS 개념의 도입과 더불어 이를 구현할 수 있는 유량제어 개념을 제시하였다.

소형우주발사체 KSLV-I의 상단부 전자장비 탑재 구조체의 외부면에는 텔레메트리, 원격추적, GPS, 비행종단 시스템의 안테나가 두 개 또는 세 개씩 장착된다. 발사체의 표면에 안테나를 부착할 수 있는 위치는 제한되어 있기 때문에 각 안테나 들은 서로 인접되어 부착된다. 또한 상단부 전자장비들과 지상장비의 성능을 검증하기 위해 수행되는 경비행기를 이용한 비행시험은 각 안테나들이 더욱 근접하여 장착된 상태로 수행된다. 따라서 각 하부시스템의 안테나 사이에 발생하는 간섭현상을 분석하기 위한 연구가 요구된다. 이 논문에서는 시간영역 유한차분법을 이용하여 서로 다른 하부시스템의 안테나 간에 발생하는 간섭영향을 해석하였다. 수행된 해석 과정은 우주발사체의 안테나 방사패턴을 해석하는데 이용될 수 있으며, 향후 우주발사체의 시스템 설계 과정에서 안테나의 배치 방법과 각 하부시스템의 성능 요구조건을 결정하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper proposes the environment construction and test method of system integration laboratory (SIL) and system integration test (SIT) for verification of interface between onboard equipment and ground control equipment of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). This research also describes the interface environment between subsystems built in SIL and verification methods for the systems' operation logic through simulated flights. Similarly, the paper handles the ground integration test process of UAS in the real testing environments.

Long term observations of full-disk Lyman-o irradiance have been made by the instruments on various satellites. In addition, several sounding rockets dating back to the 1950s and up through the present have measured the $Lyman-{\alpha}$ irradiance. Previous full disk $Lyman-{\alpha}$ images of the sun have been very interesting and useful scientifically, but have been only five-minute 'snapshots' obtained on sounding rocket flights. All of these observations to date have been snapshots, with no time resolution to observe changes in the chromospheric structure as a result of the evolving magnetic field, and its effect on the Lyman-o intensity. The $Lyman-{\alpha}$ Imaging Solar Telescope(LIST) can provide a unique opportunity for the study of the sun in the $Lyman-{\alpha}$ region with the high time and spatial resolution for the first time. Up to the 2nd year development, the preliminary design of the optics, mechanical structure and electronics system has been completed. Also the mechanical structure analysis, thermal analysis were performed and the material for the structure was chosen as a result of these analyses. And the test plan and the verification matrix were decided. The operation systems, technical and scientific operation, were studied and finally decided. Those are the technical operation, mechanical working modes for the observation and safety, the scientific operation and the process of the acquired data. The basic techniques acquired through the development of satellite based solar telescope are essential for the construction of space environment forecast system in the future. The techniques which we developed through this study, like mechanical, optical and data processing techniques, could be applied extensively not only to the process of the future production of flight models of this kind, but also to the related industries. Also, we can utilize the scientific achievements which are obtained throughout the project And these can be utilized to build a high resolution photometric detectors for military and commercial purposes. It is also believed that we will be able to apply several acquired techniques for the development of the Korean satellite projects in the future.

This paper describes the design and implementation of engineering model(EM) of Mass Memory Unit(MMU) for Science and Technology Satellite 2(STSAT-2) and the results of integration test. The use of Field-Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) instead of using private electric parts makes a miniaturization and lightweight of MMU possible. 2Gbits Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory(SDRAM) module for mass memory is used to store payload and satellite status data. Moreover, file system is applied to manage them easily in the ground station. RS(207,187) code improves the tolerance with respect to Single Event Upset(SEU) induced in SDRAM. The simulator is manufactured to verify receiving performance of payload data.
