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.

공간해상도가 높고 영상 신호량의 증가를 위해 TDI(time delay and integration) 방식의 센서를 이용하는 저궤도 위성카메라의 경우 지구의 자전효과나 위성의 자세 불안정 등으로 인해 촬영된 영상의 퍼짐현상(smearing)이 나타난다. 본 연구에 따르면 선형운동에 의한 결과로 발생하는 영상퍼짐은 위성의 자세제어 특성 뿐 만 아니라 위성의 궤도 특성과 TDI 단계, 지상 촬영 지점의 위도 및 경사촬영 각도에 의해 결정되며 다목적 실용위성 2호(KOMPSAT2)의 탑재카메라를 실례로 살펴본 해상도 1m급의 태양동기궤도 위성의 경우 별도의 보정 과정이 없을 경우 영상의 퍼짐이 심각한 것으로 나타난다. 주된 원인은 지구의 자전효과이며 영상퍼짐의 정도는 위성 직하점의 위도에 따라 변하고 카메라의 경사촬영 각도와는 연관성이 작은 것으로 나타난다. 또한 촬영전에 자세제어를 이용해 카메라의 Yaw축 각도를 조정할 경우 영상퍼짐현상이 현저히 감소함을 보여준다.

Where the track is continuously welded over the bridge, the longitudinal forces will be distributed interactively between the track and the sub-structure by the rail-bridge interaction mechanism. The ratio between the longitudinal forces transmitted in each elements depends on the magnitude of the ballast resistance and the stiffness of the sub-structures. In this paper, the main factors affect on the longitudinal rail force are discussed and the parametric study for the behavior of CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) track was executed. It is concluded that the horizontal ballast resistance and the stiffness of the bridge sub-structure are the significant parameters affecting the stability of the continuous welded rail track.

The new KOMPSAT in preliminary design phase will utilize 4.45 N monopropellant thrusters for attitude and orbit control. In this paper, a numerical plume analysis is performed to verify the effects of thruster plume on the satellite with a 3-D satellite base region model by DSMC. As a result, plume behaviors such as overall plume temperature, total density and thermal radiation to solar array are estimated.

해양관측카메라 Ocean Scanning Multi-spectral Imager (OSMI)를 탑재한 다목적 실용위성(KOMPSAT) 1호기가 1999년 12월 21일 발사되었다. OSMI는 유연한 임무 수행을 위해 궤도운영중에 관측파장대역 선택과 응답 이득 조정이 가능하도록 설계되었다. 또한 OSMI는 기기 노화 등에 따른 성능 변화 감지 및 보정을 위해 태양광 보정을 궤도운영중 수행한다. 여러 이득 단계에 대해 발사후 복사 응답 특성을 기기 보정 측면에서 연구하였다. 발사전 실험실 성능 측정 결과에 근거하여 발사후 초기 운영 단계에서 측정한 태양광 보정 자료의 선형 curve fitting을 통해 발사후 복사 응답 특성을 분석하였다. 이 분석은 OSMI 기기 보정 및 영상 품질 이해에 유용할 것이다.

Various perturbations by the sun, the moon and the earth itself cause a continuous change in nominal position of a geostationary satellite. In order to maintain the satellite within a required window, north-south station keeping for controlling inclination and right ascension of ascending node, and east-west station keeping for controlling eccentricity and longitude are required. In this paper, station keeping maneuver simulation for Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) was performed using COMS Flight Dynamics Software(FDS) and the results were analyzed. COMS performs weekly based east-west/north-south station keeping to maintain satellite within ${\pm}0.05^{\circ}$ at the nominal longitude of $128.2^{\circ}E$. In addition, COMS performs wheel off-loading maneuver twice a day to eliminate attitude error caused by one-solar wing in the south panel of the satellite. In this paper, station keeping maneuver considering wheel off-loading maneuver was performed and the results showed that COMS can be maintained well within ${\pm}0.05^{\circ}$ window using COMS FDS.

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.

In this paper, relative orbit of Low Earth Orbit satellites is determined using only GPS measurements and the effects of Equatorial Spread-F (ESF), that is one of biggest ionospheric irregularities, are investigated. First, relative orbit determiation process is constructed based on doubly differenced GPS observations. In order to see orbit determination performance, relative orbit of two GRACE satellites is estimated for one month in 2004 when no ESF is observed. The root mean square of the achieved baselines compared with that from K-Band Ranger sensor is about 2~3 mm and average of 95% of ambiguities are resolved. Based on this performance, the relative orbit is estimated for two weeks of two difference years, 2003 when there are lots of ESF occurred, and 2004 when only few ESF occurred. For 2003, the averaged baseline error over two weeks is about 15 mm. That is about 4 times larger than the case of 2004 (3.6 mm). Ionospheric status achieved from K-Band Ranging sensor also shows that more Equatorial Spread-F occurred at 2003 than 2004. Investigation on raw observations and screening process revealed that the ionospheric irregualarities caused by Equatorial Spread-F gave significant effects on GPS signal like signal loss or enhancement ionospheric error, From this study, relative orbit determination using GPS observations should consider the effect of Equatorial Spread-F and adjust orbit determination strategy, especially at the time of solar maximum.

Based on Korean railway design standards, the thicknesses of the reinforced roadbeds of conventional and high speed railways are different, and so too, for the size distribution of the ballast particles. Accordingly, considerable cost would be required to increase operating speeds of conventional lines, in particular related to changing from a ballasted track system to a ballastless one. In this study, applicability of a roadbed which supports conventional ballasted track, for use as a ballastless track for a high speed rail line was examined. A reinforced roadbed for a conventional railway is 20cm thick, and the type of material used for a conventional reinforced roadbed is M-40 (crushed gravel for road embankments). A dynamics test was conducted to evaluate the occurrence of the permanent settlement of the track substructure. These results suggest that, without changes to the track substructure, an operational speed of 400km/h is feasible with a ballastless track. This result; however, is from laboratory experiments. Further studies, such as numerical analyses or field validation, are required.
