본 연구에서는 정지궤도 위성을 이용한 표준시각 동기 서비스에 실시간 궤도결정 기술을 적용하는 방안을 고려하였다. 정지궤도 위성을 이용하여 표준시각 동기신호를 전파하는 연구는 여러 나라에서 진행되고 있는데 3지역에서의 측정(Trilateration)과 미분 보정(Differential Correction) 방식이 일반적인 방법으로 채택되고 있다. 본 논고에서는 한국 항공우주연구원에서 진행 중인 표준시각 동기 서비스 연구와 이를 위해 제작중인 실시간 궤도결정 기술을 적용한 실험 소프트웨어에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 실시간 궤도결정 방법을 적용하게 되면 동기신호 전파에 있어서 가장 큰 오차의 원인이 되는 위성궤도 예측 오차를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 궤도 결정을 위해 사용하는 톤 레인징에 의한 위상차 신호와 안테나 각도 대신에 동기신호 자체만을 사용하고 있으며 1개의 수신 데이터만으로 궤도 결정을 수행하는 방안을 강구하였다. 본 논고에서는 실시간 궤도 결정에 의한 시뮬레이션 결과와 한국항공우주연구원에서 준비 중인 실험에 대해서 간략히 소개한다. 그리고 본 연구에서 개발된 기술은 2004년 4월에 무궁화위성 2호를 이용하여 실험을 수행할 예정이다.

This paper analyzes the orbit determination results using azimuth and elevation angle from ground tracking data, which has the standard data interface format, GEOS-C. The ground tracking data is very useful for initial orbit determination after a satellite launch. In this paper, the quality of the measurement data has been investigated using a variety of real tracking passes, compared with the high precision orbit data of KOMPSAT-2. The accumulated tracking data from consecutive satellite-ground passes is processed for orbit determination using least square method. The accuracy of orbit determination result is also presented.

In this paper, the performance of the KOMPSAT-1 orbit determination (OD) accuracy at the ground station was analyzed by using the flight data. The Bayesian least squares estimation was used for the orbit determination and the assessment of the orbit accuracy was evaluated based on orbit overlap comparisons. We also compared the result from OD using GPS navigation solutions with NORAD TLE and the result from OD using range data. Furthermore, the effect of observation type and OBT drift on the accuracy was investigated. As a consequence, It is shown that the OD accuracy using only GPS position data is on the order of 5m RMS (Root Mean Square) with 4 hrs arc overlap for the 30hr arc and the GPS velocity data is not proper as a observation for the OD due to its inferior quality. The significant deterioration of the accuracy due to the critical clock bias was not founded by means of the comparison of OD result from other observations.

In this paper, a precise orbit determination process was carried out based on KARISMA(KARI Collision Risk Management System) developed by KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute), in which optical tracking data of a geostationary satellite was used. The real optical tracking data provided by ESA(European Space Agency) for the ARTEMIS geostationary satellite was used. And orbit determination error was approximately 420 m compared to that of the ESA's orbit determination result from the same optical tracking data. In addition, orbit prediction was conducted based on the orbit determination result with optical tracking data for 4 days, and the position error for the orbit prediction during 3 days was approximately 500~600 m compared to that of ESA's result. These results imply that the performance of the KARISMA's orbit determination function is suitable to apply to the collision risk assessment for the space debris.

SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging) 데이터의 높은 거리측정 정밀도는 위성 추적 시스템의 검증 및 보정, 위성의 정밀궤도결정, 지구와 관련된 물리 상수 및 모델 검증, 우주파편과 같은 우주물체의 추적 및 감시 등에 활용이 가능하다. 특히 위성의 정밀궤도결정에 SLR 데이터를 활용하는 것은 고정밀 지구관측 위성 및 독자적인 항법 시스템 운영에 필수적인 부분이다. SLR 시스템은 위성 관측 가능 시간 및 지역이 한정되어 있기 때문에 정밀궤도 결정에 활용하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 SLR 데이터를 사용하기 위한 효율적인 정밀궤도결정 전략에 대해서 알아보았다. 동역학 및 관측 모델, 지상국의 개수, 초기 궤도 오차, 필터링 방법, 고도각에 따른 관측 데이터 선택 등의 기준을 선정하고 각각의 경우에 대해 정밀궤도결정을 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다. 정밀궤도결정 테스트를 위해서는 YLPODS (Yonsei Laser-ranging Precision Orbit Determination System)과 SLR정규점 (Normal Point) 데이터를 사용하였다. 이를 통해서 SLR 데이터를 사용하기 위한 효율적인 정밀궤도결정 전략에 대해 고찰해보았다.

A conceptual study about the angle information based orbit determination technique for a geostationary satellite was performed. With an assumption that the simultaneous observing of the earth and nearby stars is possible, we confirmed that the view angles between the earth and stars can be use as inputs for orbit determination process. By the MATLAB simulation with least square method, the convergence is confirmed. This conceptual study was performed with the COMS for instance. This technique will be able to use as a back-up of ground station's orbit determination or a part of autonomous satellite operation.

GEO-KOMPSAT2 shall be designed to produce higher quality of image than that of COMS, and this requires the ground system to provide orbit data with high accuracy; better than 2km which is sort of high accuracy when it comes to geostationary satellite. For GEO-KOMPSAT2, KARI is planning to use ranging data for orbit determination, obtained from two ranging stations located in KARI and oversea country with long longitudinal baseline. This paper estimated achievable orbit determination accuracy using covariance analysis under assumption of using two ranging stations; SOC and available secondary tracking stations located in oversea countries. In addition to covariance analysis, in order to validate the analysis, the Monte-Carlo simulation has been performed and compared to the covariance analysis.

This paper describes the development of an autonomous system for the precise orbit determination (POD) using GPS raw data. Orbit processing requiring the orbit determination (OD) accuracy of 1m ($1{\sigma}$) or sub-meter is relatively complicated comparing to that of more than several meters. The architecture of the developed system for processing POD automatically and the test results of it were presented. The implemented system is able to be used to the flight dynamics system of the satellite mission control system and moreover can be applied to the multi-satellite POD system by means of incorporating with the automated operational orbit processing system (i.e., Kgs automated Operational Orbit Processing System, KOOPS), which was already developed by the authors.

GEO-KOMPSAT2 shall provide higher quality of image than the COMS and uses star tracker instead of earth sensor, which requires precise onboard orbit information. This requires precise on-ground orbit determination. For COMS, orbit determination is performed using the ranging data obtained from tracking system located in DAEJON. For accurate orbit determination of GEO-KOMPSAT2, KARI is building a secondary tracking station in CHUUK Islands. In this paper, the achievable accuracy of table based onboard orbit parameter generator which interpolates orbit data obtained from on-ground orbit determination using tracking data collected from two ground stations. Two types of approaches have been applied; covariance analysis and numerical analysis. By combining two analysis results, total orbit error has been estimated.

망원경을 이용하는 위성의 광학관측으로부터 적경과 적위 또는 방위각과 고도각의 관측데이터를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 세 쌍의 관측데이터를 이용해 위성의 궤도를 결정하는 방법을 예비궤도 결정법이라 하는데, Laplace, Gauss 및 double r-iteration 방법이 있다. 위성의 정밀궤도 결정을 위해서 광학, 레이더 및 레이저를 이용한 다수의 관측데이터가 필요하며, 특히 위성의 초기 궤도정보가 반드시 요구되는데, 이는 예비궤도 결정법을 통해서 얻을 수 있다. (중략)
