The space radiation/total ionizing Dose(TID) and its effects, and the GEO satellite system design considerations in space radiation environment are studied in this paper using Spenvis(Space Environment Information System). The GEO satellite system in space environment is simulated by NASA AP8/AE8, JPL91 and NRL CREME models, repectively for trapped particle, solar proton and cosmic-ray. The total ionizing Dose which is accumulated continuously to spacecraft electronics has been expressed as the function of aluminum thickness. These values can be used as the criteria for the selection of electronic parts and shielding thickness of the Digital Channel Amplifier(DCAMP) structure.

우리별 3호는 1996년 5월 26일 발사하여 2002년 12월까지 수명 초과에 따른 성능 하락으로 임무 수행을 마칠 때까지 설계 예상 수명 3년을 초과하여 약 3년 7개월 동안 운용되었다. 인공위성은 운용 되는 동안 종종 예측하지 못한 이상현상을 겪는다. 이러한 이상현상은 인공위성의 임무 수행을 일시적으로 중지시키며 심지어는 인공위성의 작동을 완전히 불가능하게 만들기도 한다. 이러한 이상현상 발생은 매년 수백 건씩 기록되고 있으며 인공위성 시스템이 복잡해짐에 따라 더욱 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 인공위성에서 발생하는 이상현상은 다양한 원인에 기인하며 시스템 설계 오류, 제작 오류, 운용 오류, 우주환경이 끼치는 영향 등이 있다. 우리별 3호 또한 운용 동안 발생한 이상현상으로 임무를 제한적으로 수행하기도 하였다. 인공위성에서 발생한 이상현상을 분석 및 해결함으로서 임무수행을 원활히 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 더 나아가서 분석 경험과 축적된 자료를 통해서 이상현상을 예측 및 대비할 수 있고 위성의 성능과 수명 평가의 지표로 삼을 수 있으며 위성의 문제점을 보완하여 향 후 향상된 위성을 개발하는데 기여할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 궤도상에서 발생한 이상현상을 각 서브시스템 별로 임무 수행에 끼치는 영향, 위성체에 미치는 영향, 발생원인, 이상현상 종류, 처리 방법으로 분류하여 살펴보았고 그 분석 결과를 과학위성 1호 개발 시 문제점 보완에 적용한 사항에 대하여 살펴보았다.

Operational reliability of the single-use turbo engine for guided weapons must be guaranteed even after long-term storage. Rolling element bearings have a great influence on the operational reliability of the turbo engine, however changes in micro dimensions of bearings by an oxide layers on rolling elements and raceways may cause failures after long-term storage. In this study, changes in dimensions of bearings were measured and roughness of rolling elements was used for estimating the storage life. Storage life estimation was performed via two kinds of methods, Weibayes method and random sample generation method. The results of two methods were compared and their characteristics were analyzed. This study will contribute to establish an efficient maintenance schedule for the single-use turbo engine.

COMS(Chollian) satellite which was launched on June 26, 2010 has three payloads for Ka-band communications, geostationary ocean color imaging and meteorological imaging. In order to make efficient use of the geostationary satellite, a concept of mission operations has been considered from the beginning of the satellite ground control system development. COMS satellite mission operations are classified by daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal operations. Daily satellite operations include mission planning, command planning and transmission, telemetry processing and analysis, ranging and orbit determination, ephemeris and event prediction, and wheel off-loading set point parameter calculation. As a weekly operation, North-South station keeping maneuver and East-West station keeping maneuver should be performed on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. Spacecraft oscillator updating parameter should be calculated and uploaded once a month. Eclipse operations should be performed during a vernal equinox and autumnal equinox season. In this paper, operational validations of the major functions in COMS SGCS are presented for the first three month of in-orbit test operations. All of the major functions have been successfully verified and the COMS SGCS will be used for the mission operations of the COMS satellite for 7 years of mission life time and even more.

In this paper, it is proposed the link performance analysis results using SNRAT(Satellite Network Resource Allocation & Analysis Tool) and verified the anticipated results by satellite communication network simulator. A communication satellite cannot be corrected or fixed for the error in orbit operation after launching unlike the ground operation equipment and has a restricted operation life. So, it is important to make possible to use satellite communications in the proper time. It is expected the link BER(Bit Error Rate), throughput and AJ(Anti-Jamming) performance using SNRAT tool before launching. And it is verified the performance of the repeaters and ground equipment specification using the satellite network simulator and is extracted the optimum operational scenarios through the tests of various network operational plans.

아리랑위성 1호는 1999년 12월 21일 발사되어 3년의 설계 임무 수명을 성공적으로 완료하였으며 현재 위성체의 특이한 이상 상태 없이 안정적으로 연장 운영되고 있다. 위성이 성공적으로 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 태양전지 및 배터리 등의 기능이 적절하게 유지되어야 한다. 위성의 전력을 생산하는 태양 전지는 여러 가지 복사 및 운영중의 온도차와 같은 우주환경 등에 의해서 서서히 성능이 감소하게 되고, 배터리 또한 온도상승 등으로 인해서 성능이 감소하게 된다. 또한 위성의 궤도평면과 태양 벡터 사이의 각으로 정의되는 베타각($\beta$)에 의해서 식기간의 변화 및 온도 변화로 인해서 전력계에도 변화가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 정상운영 초기부터 현재까지 실제 운영 궤도상에서 얻어진 원격계측자료(Telemetry)를 이용하여 전력계의 주요 부분 변화를 살펴보았다.

The Korea Muliti-Purpose Satellite(KOMPSAT) uses a sun-synchronous orbit with an altitude 685km as mission orbit and undergoes earth eclipses and infrequently lunar eclipses. Lunar eclipses occur when the moon is located between the sun and the satellite and blocks partially or fully the sunlight. The eclipse causes the satellite to increase battery discharge times and affects satellite lifetime and mission operation. The KOMPSAT lunar eclipses can cause additional effects to energy balance and battery disc of the KOMPSAT lunar eclipse for 3 year mission lifetime. Also mission planning scenario is presented for lunar eclipses at the KOMPSAT Grouns Station(KGS).

This paper applies the Orbital Geometry-based Bias Estimation Algorithm to the magnetometer measurement data of KOMPSAT-1 and 2 and analyzes the induced magnetic field bias caused by the solar panels and electronics boxes in spacecraft bus. This paper reveals that the estimation and correction of the induced magnetic field bias copes with the aging process of magnetometer and makes it possible to carry on the satellite mission by extending its lifetime.

In this paper, a disposal maneuver which complies the space debris mitigation guideline was analysed for KOMPSAT-2 as an example of LEO satellite. Definition of disposal altitude which comply the '25 year rule', re-entry survivability analysis of KOMPSAT-2 parts inside and casualty area analysis were performed using STK and ESA's DRAMA. Finally, assuming that there were several survival objects during uncontrolled re-entry stage, the re-entry initial orbit elements which show the low casualty probability were found even if there were various uncertainties about the initial orbit. As a result, KOMPSAT-2 should be descended its altitude at least 43km or up to 105km to comply '25 year rule' and there were heavy or heat resistant survival objects which generated $4.3141m^2$ casualty area. And if RAAN of re-entry initial orbit was 129 degree, total casualty probability was lower than standard value of space debris mitigation guideline even if there were uncertainties about the initial orbit.

Launched in October 2019, Northrop Grumman's MEV-1 was the world's first unmanned mission demonstrating the practical feasibility of on-orbit servicing. Although the concept of on-orbit servicing was proposed several decades ago, it has been developed to various mission concepts providing services such as orbit change, station keeping, propellant and equipment supply, upgrade, repair, on-orbit assembly and production, and space debris removal. The historical success of MEV-1 is expected to expand the market of on-orbit servicing for government agencies and commercial sectors worldwide. The on-orbit servicing essentially requires the utilization of a highly propellant efficient electric propulsion system due to the nature of the mission. In this study, the space mission analysis for a simple on-orbit mission involving Hall thruster is conducted, which is life extension mission for geostationary orbit satellites. In order to analyze the mission, design space exploration for various Hall thruster design variable combinations is performed. The values of design variables and operational parameters of Hall thruster suitable for the mission are proposed through design space analysis and optimization, and mission performance is derived. In addition, the direction of further improvement for the current on-orbit mission analysis process and space mission analysis involving Hall thruster is reviewed.
