Divert and attitude control system(DACS) plays an important role for orbit transfer and attitude control, and therefore becomes important subject for recent space vehicle and Precision Guided Missile(PGM) development. To develop DACS system, main research areas include shape combination of pintle and nozzle to maximize thrust change, and reduction of aerodynamic pintle load to minimizle pintle driving force, and development of multi-axis control algorithm. In this paper, introduction, classification, and overseas/domestic research and development program, and prospects of DACS are reviewed and summarized.

Control method for DACS with variable burning area is designed and the performance of the control method is analyzed by doing simulation at various conditions. DACS, which got solid propellant on board, is designed as end-burning type typically. End-burning type DACS has the merit of controlling pressure and thrust, but it discharges the combustion gas which does not using for getting thrust. Therefore, optimal design of propellant grain and burning area changes over time as a result. Variable burning area can be assumed as a disturbance and adaptive control method is useful for pressure control of DACS effected by disturbance.

The geostationary satellite uses a liquid apogee engine, to obtain a required velocity increment to enter a geostationary orbit. However, as the liquid apogee engine operates in the vacuum, a considerable disbursement of exhaust plume flow, from the liquid apogee engine can trigger a backflow. As this backflow may possibly collide with the satellite directly, it can cause adverse effects such as surface contamination, thermal load, and altitude disturbance, that can generate performance reduction of the geostationary satellite. So, this study investigated exhaust plume behavior of 400 N grade liquid apogee engine numerically. To analyze exhaust plume behavior in vacuum condition, the DSMC (Direct Simulation Monte Carlo) method based on Boltzmann equation is used. As a result, thermal fluid characteristics of exhaust plume such as temperature and number density, are observed.

위성비행소프트웨어는 위성의 하드웨어와 임무 탑재체 및 서브시스템이 통합되어 궤도상에서 위성임무를 수행할 수 있도록 원격명령 및 측정데이터의 처리, 자세 및 궤도제어, 열제어, 전력제어 등의 기능을 수행한다. 위성비행소프트웨어의 개발과 같이 규모가 큰 소프트웨어는 여러 개발자가 참여해야 하고 각각의 개발자들이 작성 코드를 통합하여 빌드하고 문제 발생 시 대처하기 위하여 세부적인 설계 및 개발내용을 단계별로 문서화하는 작업이 수반되어야 한다. 기존의 위성비행소프트웨어 개발과정에서는 이러한 문서들 중 전체 위성비행소프트웨어의 단위 코드별 입출력, 수행기능 등의 상세 설계 내용을 기록하는 SDD(Software Design Description)는 개발자가 작성한 코드를 기반으로 수작업을 통하여 작성되었다. 이러한 작성방식은 작성자의 입력오류가 발생할 수도 있으며 소프트웨어 개발과 별도로 수작업이 요구되어 문서작성에 소요되는 시간적 손해가 발생하게 된다. 유럽에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 C, C++, C#, JAVA, VHDL 등 다양한 언어를 사용하는 소프트웨어 개발에 적용 가능한 자동적 문서작성 도구인 Doxygen이 널리 활용되고 있다. Doxygen은 PDF, HTML, Latex, RTF 등 다양한 출력 포맷도 지원한다. 본 논문에서는 Doxygen을 활용하여 위성비행소프트웨어 개발문서의 작성 시 소요시간을 단축하고 소스코드로부터 해당 설계 내용을 추출하여 자동적으로 문서를 작성할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 소개한다.

In this study, computational analyses are carried out to investigate the interference flows and the aerodynamic characteristics of a hit-to-kill intercepter due to lateral jets at medium altitude. In addition, the analyses are performed for air and multi-species gas used in the side jet. The results indicate that the position of the barrel shock are shifted upstream and the structure of the shock wave are changed for the multi-species jet when compared to the air jet. As a result, the high pressure region with multi-species jet moves forward and the pitching moment is higher under the same flow condition. Moreover, the inclusion of high temperature effects makes drastic changes in pressure distribution. The jet width is much bigger, and the jet diffuses over wider range in medium altitude than in low altitude, because of the low density of the freestream.
