With the constantly increasing demand of domestic and oversea satellite images, there is also a growing demand to rapidly acquire images after the satellite image collection planning of KOMPSAT-2/3/5. Therefore, it has been increasing to use the korea ground station and oversea ground station to keep pace with increased demand. The KARI is operating Data Ingestion System of the KOMPSAT-2/3 in Svalbard, where the satellite images have been received at least four or six times a day. The KARI is planning to operate oversea receiving system for KOMPSAT-5/3A. This paper introduces the polar data ingestion system operating in Norway, and presents the process of design and development for Polar Integration receiving system in preparation of multiple satellite operation.

The ultimate goal of satellite development is to use information obtained from satellites. Therefore, national-levelsatellite development program should include not only hardware development, but also infrastructure establishment and application technology development for information utilization. Until now, Korea has developed various satellites and has been very useful in weather and maritime surveillance as well as various disasters. In particular, KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-purpose Satellite) images have been used extensively in agriculture, forestry and marine fields based on high spatial resolution, and has been widely used in research related to precision mapping and change detection. This special issue aims to introduce a variety of recent studies conducted using KOMPSAT optical and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images and to disseminate related satellite image application technologies to the public sector.

High intensity vibro-acoustic testing is the appropriate method for flight qualification testing of space flight vehicle which must ensure the acoustic environment of launch. To qualify vibro-acoustic environment during its flight, High Intensity Acoustic Test was performed for KOMPSAT-2(Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite) STM(Structural Thermal Model). This paper presents the detailed description on the high intensity acoustic test for KOMPSAT-2. Additionally the test results was compared with the analysis ones, which were estimated with 3-D SEA(Statistical Energy Analysis) model.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) performed field campaigns for absolute radiometric calibration with overpassing of satellite Orbview-3 on Cal/ Val site in Goheung and Daejeon. The performed Cal/Val method is the reflectance-based of vicarious calibration methods. We collected ground-based and meteology data such as temperature, surface pressure and reflectance of targets, and radiosonde data only collected on Goheung. Data collected on each field served as input to radiative transfer codes to generate a top-of-atmosphere(TOA) radiance. Derived TOA is compared with DN of overpassing satellite Orbview-3 to calculate calibration coefficient of gain and offset. Also, This study proposed a proper method to prepare absolute radiometic calibration of KOMPSAT-2 by using experience of Field campaign.

인공위성은 지상에서부터 발사 및 궤도 운용까지 다양한 전자파 환경에 노출되며 이러한 환경에서의 위성 운용을 검증하기 위하여, 다양한 전자파 환경을 모사하는 전자파 환경시험을 수행하게 된다. 특히, 궤도내에서 위성의 운용시 지상국과의 교신을 위하여 X 밴드 안테나와 S 밴드 안테나에서 지상국으로 강한 전자기파를 방사하게 되는데, 이 방사에너지가 위성에 영향을 주는지 검증하는 시험을 지상에서 수행한다. 이런 시험을 RFC (RF Auto-Compatibility) 시험이라고 부른다. RFC 시험은 위성으로부터 방사되는 전자기파가 외부에 새어나가지 않도록 전자파 챔버내에서 시험하며, 강한 전자기파를 흡수할 수 있는 고전력 전파 흡수체가 설치된 전자파 챔버가 필요하다. RFC 시험시 X 밴드 안테나와 S 밴드 안테나를 최대 전력으로 방사시키고, 이때 위성 주변에 전자파 센서를 부착하여 전계강도를 측정함으로써 위성으로 입사되는 전자기파의 세기가 적정 레벨 이하인지를 검증하고, 동시에 위성의 운용상태를 확인하여 위성에 영향이 없음을 검증한다. 본 논문에서는 다목적 실용위성 3호의 RFC 시험시 측정된 전계강도를 이론적으로 검증하고, RS 시험시 인가하는 레벨과의 상관관계를 설명한다. RS 시험 레벨의 선정은 위성 안테나의 방사레벨과 관련이 있으며 RFC 시험결과를 검토함으로써 RFC 시험 결과의 유효성과 RF 레벨 요구사항의 적절성을 검증한다.

This study compared effects of spatial resolution ratio in image fusion by Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite 2 (KOMPSAT II), also known as Arirang-2. Image fusion techniques, also called pansharpening, are required to obtain color imagery with high spatial resolution imagery using panchromatic and multi-spectral images. The higher quality satellite images generated by an image fusion technique enable interpreters to produce better application results. Thus, image fusions categorized in 3 domains were applied to find out significantly improved fused images using KOMPSAT 2. In addition, all fused images were evaluated to satisfy both spectral and spatial quality to investigate an optimum fused image. Additionally, this research compared Pixel-Based Image Analysis (PBIA) with the GEOgraphic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) to make better classification results. Specifically, a roof top of building was extracted by both image analysis approaches and was finally evaluated to obtain the best accurate result. This research, therefore, provides the effective use for very high resolution satellite imagery with image interpreter to be used for many applications such as coastal area, urban and regional planning.

One of the mechanical system engineer's tasks of satellite design and development is to make the control plan, keep track and estimate the characteristics of system mass properties. As the design phases are going on, mass properties related activities also transit as like a data collection, system mass property estimation and measurement. Fidelity of mass properties database should be confirmed through measurement test. In this paper the control plan and estimation of system mass properties are explained by the actual data and experience of the development of satellite and the fidelity of mass properties database was confirmed through measurement test.

Agricultural reservoirs are crucial structures for water resources monitoring especially in Korea where the resources are seasonally unevenly distributed. Optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites, being utilized as tools for monitoring the reservoirs, have unique limitations in that optical sensors are sensitive to weather conditions and SAR sensors are sensitive to noises and multiple scattering over dense vegetations. In this study, we tried to improve water body detection accuracy through optical-SAR data fusion, and quantitatively analyze the complementary effects. We first detected water bodies at Edong, Cheontae reservoir using the Compact Advanced Satellite 500(CAS500), Kompsat-3/3A, and Sentinel-2 derived Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), and SAR backscattering coefficient from Sentinel-1 by K-means clustering technique. After that, the improvements in accuracies were analyzed by applying K-means clustering to the 2-D grid space consists of NDWI and SAR. Kompsat-3/3A was found to have the best accuracy (0.98 at both reservoirs), followed by Sentinel-2(0.83 at Edong, 0.97 at Cheontae), Sentinel-1(both 0.93), and CAS500(0.69, 0.78). By applying K-means clustering to the 2-D space at Cheontae reservoir, accuracy of CAS500 was improved around 22%(resulting accuracy: 0.95) with improve in precision (85%) and degradation in recall (14%). Precision of Kompsat-3A (Sentinel-2) was improved 3%(5%), and recall was degraded 4%(7%). More precise water resources monitoring is expected to be possible with developments of high-resolution SAR satellites including CAS500-5, developments of image fusion and water body detection techniques.
