A practical application of flight-axes/attitude control thrusters to the space launch vehicle and their design development localization are investigated and analyzed. Hydrazine thrusters are mostly used in a final stage of space launch vehicles on account of its higher specific impulse and reliability necessary for the precise attitude control attaining the orbit insertion with higher accuracy.

We consider the motion of the subsystems as separate bodies as well as the entire satellite for the attitude and orbit control of a communication satellite by multi-body modeling technique. Thus, the system, can be applied to a general communication satellite as well as a specific communication satellite, i. e. Koreasat I,II. The simulation results can be viewed by two-dimensional graphics and three-dimensional animation. The graphical user interface(GUI) makes its usage much simpler. We have simulated a couple of scenarios for Koreasat I,II which are being operated as geostationary communication satellites to verify the system performance.

Antenna pointing analysis for a geostationary satellite has been performed for using the NORAD Two-Line-Elements (TLE) converted from osculating Keplerian orbital elements. In order to check the possibility of the reception of the satellite signal, the antenna offset angles have been derived for the Communications, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) which carries out weekly East-West and North-South station-keeping maneuvers and twice a day thruster assisted momentum dumping. Throughout the analysis, it is shown that the use of converted NORAD TLE simplifies the antenna pointing related interfaces in satellite mission control system. For a highly eccentric transfer orbit cases, further analysis presents that the converted NORAD TLE from near apogee gives more favorable results.

To accelerate a heavy roller coaster train with over 1G force, a lot of thrust is required and linear synchronous motor(LSM) as propulsion method is suitable for this kind of system. To increase the propulsion efficiency of LSM, precise and real-time position information of vehicle is required for accurate phase control. However, the discontinuous position information with relatively long time interval is usually transmitted from the hall-sensors on the track every magnet length. In this paper, the basic motor model based on traditional dq-axis equations is described and the motor dynamic model is produced by considering the cogging force and friction loss. To improve the position accuracy, the position estimator is also proposed for LSM control system. Simulations were performed to check the characteristics of the torque control system which includes the position estimator based on the motor model. Simulation results based on the linearized model show that this control system has an enough bandwidth and phase margin and the executed algorithm achieves an ideal effect to follow the real-time position signal. Therefore, the feasibility of position estimator is also confirmed.

저궤도 위성이 발사체에서 분리된 후 탑재 소프트웨어에 의한 초기 동작이 수행되고 나면 초기 운용이 시작된다. 초기 운용 기간에 수행할 모든 절차와 대처 가능한 긴급 상황이 발생할 경우 수행할 절차는 발사 전에 미리 준비된다. 위성의 각 부분의 설계 마진은 최악 조건을 기준으로 반영되어 있기 때문에 발사 이후의 버스 시스템 관점에서의 위성 특성은 요구 사항을 만족하는 범위가 될 것으로 예상이 가능하다. 실제로 발사 후 위성 텔레메트리 분석을 통해 대부분의 항목에서 요구 조건을 만족하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 텔레메트리 분석을 통해 설계 단계에서 예상했던 것 보다 정확한 궤도 특성이 반영된 위성 특성을 파악하였다. 이러한 특성은 설계 시 고려했던 상황과 다르더라도 실제 궤도 특성이 반영된 특성이므로 초기 운용 및 정상 운용 시에 정상적인 상황인 것으로 고려해야 한다. 첫째, 지구 알베도 특성에 따라 태양센서 값이 궤도에 따라 변화한다. 위성의 자세가 정확히 태양을 지향하고 있더라도 태양센서에 지구에서 반사된 빛이 입사되어 자세 제어에 영향을 주게 된다. 알베도의 영향은 적도에서 극지방으로 갈수록 커지며, 계절에 따라 다른 특성을 보인다. 알베도의 영향을 최소화하기 위해 자세 제어 모델에 알베도 효과를 고려하거나 알베도 효과를 무시할 수 있을 정도로 자세 제어 오차 한계를 조정할 수 있다. 둘째, 위성의 지구 회피 회전에 의해 태양 전지판의 온도가 궤도에 따라 변화한다. 위성체는 위성체에 장착된 두 개의 별센서의 가시성 확보를 위해 태양 지향 자세에서 요축으로 일정 속도로 회전한다. 남극 부근에서는 두 태양 센서가 모두 지구의 반대편인 남쪽을 지향하도록 하며, 북극 부근에서는 북쪽을 지향하도록 한다. 이 때 두 태양 센서의 방향에 장착된 태양 전지판은 극지방에서 지구 반대편에 위치하므로 다른 태양 전지판에 비해 낮은 온도를 갖게 된다. 이 논문에서는 위성의 궤도 특성에 따른 고려 사항에 대해 설명하였다.

Domestic or international existing researches regarding rail damage factors are focused on laying, vehicle conditions, driving speed and driving habits and overlook characteristics of track structure (elasticity, maintenance etc). Also in ballast track, as there is no special lateral spring stiffness of track also called as ballast lateral resistance in concrete track, generally, existing study shows concrete track has 2 time shorter life cycle for rail replacement than ballast track due to abrasion. As a result of domestic concrete track design and operation performance review, concrete track elasticity is lower than track elasticity of ballast track resulting higher damage on rail and tracks. Generally, concrete track has advantage in track elasticity adjustment than ballast track and in case of Europe, in concrete track design, it is recommended to have same or higher performance range of vertical elastic stiffness of ballast track but domestically or internationally review on lateral spring stiffness of track is very minimal. Therefore, through analysis of service line track on site measurement and analysis on performance of maintenance, in this research, dynamic characteristic behaviors of commonly used ballast and concrete track are studied to infer elasticity of service line track and experimentally prove effects of track lateral spring stiffness that influence curved rail damage as well as correlation between track elasticity by track system and rail damage to propose importance of appropriate elastic stiffness level for concrete and ballast track.

The main purpose of the current research is to developments a real-time Hardware In-the-Loop (HIL) simulation testbed for the satellite formation flying navigation and orbit control. The HIL simulation testbed is integrated for demonstrations and evaluations of navigation and orbit control algorithms. The HIL simulation testbed is composed of Environment computer, GPS simulator, Flight computer and Visualization computer system. GPS measurements are generated by a SPIRENT GSS6560 multi-channel RF simulator to produce pseudorange, carrier phase measurements. The measurement date are transferred to Satrec Intiative space borne GPS receiver and exchanged by the flight computer system and subsequently processed in a navigation filter to generate relative or absolute state estimates. These results are fed into control algorithm to generate orbit controls required to maintain the formation. These maneuvers are informed to environment computer system to build a close simulation loop. In this paper, the overall design of the HIL simulation testbed for the satellite formation flying navigation and control is presented. Each component of the testbed is then described. Finally, a LEO formation navigation and control simulation is demonstrated by using virtual scenario.

In this paper we evaluated dynamic stability, considering the effects of modeling and analysis methods on moving load analysis, for which a sophisticated 3 dimensional model of a PSC-I type girder bridge was used. For this purpose, we suggested a reasonable modeling method and the physical properties of the concrete and ballasted track system involved. We also analyzed the response characteristics according to: 1) the type of track system; 2) whether or not the track was modeled; 3) whether or not the distance between the girder center and the bearing were considered; 4) the analysis method (i.e., direct integral and modal analysis); 5) whether or not the frequency was filtered.

PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system is a new transportation system which will meet increasing demands of traffic in Korea. It is also an environment-friendly transportation and automatically operated. For these reasons, researches on the PRT system are actively undergoing, but the PRT vehicles have different forms of subway, bus, etc. There are no design standards to evaluate structural integrity, yet. In this paper, Structural design specifications are derived, which are based on the performance test standard for EMU and the ASCE-APM standards. We also perform the static and fatigue analyses by FE simulation and suggest strategies to improve an initial structure design. In addition, we derived the design specifications for energy-absorbing structures to meet the conditions of the collision scenarios predefined from a view point of operation safety.

A performance characteristics and application status of liquid-monopropellants used for 3-axis control thrusters are surveyed, in this paper. Hydrogen peroxide was widely used as monopropellant until mid-1960s, but it is rapidly replaced with hydrazine which has better performance of specific impulse, storability, and so on. Hydrazine is mostly employed as a liquid-monopropellant of satellite, interplanetary spacecraft, and space launch vehicle owing to its moderate performance features.
