Establishment of systematic platform is needed for technological progress of receiving of satellite image data with high quality and processing system for product generation and operation related with direct receiving system for satellite from abroad. Besides, it's necessary to develop the integrated data processing system to prohibit similar functions on developing (or being developed) for KOMPSAT-3, KOMPSAT-5 and to operate system efficiently. Therefore, conceptual design of the integrated data processing system is performed considering commercialization of KOMPSAT(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite) series based on KOMPSAT-2 IRPE on operation in this paper.

The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has developed and operated a total of three KOMPSAT series(K-3, 3A and 5). The main purpose of satellite development is to utilize data obtained from satellites. In other words, continuous efforts should be made to improve the accuracy of data processing and expand the application areas. This special issue introduces pre-processing and application technologies based on optic and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors of KOMPSAT series. It is believed that more systematic research and development will be needed as follow-up KOMPSAT series and small satellites are under development.

It has been more than 20 years since the launch of KOMPSAT-1, and so far, a total of 5 satellites have been successfully launched. Until now, KOMPSAT has been used in various fields, including the production of various thematic maps, land change, environmental analysis, and marine monitoring. Many researchers have conducted research to process, analyze, and utilize KOMPSAT images. According to the national space development plan, the KOMPSAT series will be continuously developed to meet the demand for satellite images at the national level. If the ultimate purpose of satellite development is to utilize acquired images, systematic research to effectively utilize the developed satellites should be followed. This special issue introduces the recently conducted research on the use of KOMPSAT images.

Utilization of KOMPSAT-2 satellite image is growing, because the resolution of KOMPSAT -2 is improved 43.5 times than that of KOMPSAT-1. To support for satellite image commercialization, KOCUST(KOMPSAT Customer & User Support Team) was composed, operation process was established and defined and support system for satellite image Commercialization was constructed. Also the support system constantly is improved for various user. In this paper, organization and function of support system developed so far these days for commercial user and operations related with it were described. In addition, direction of development was discussed

In this paper, we investigated the international guidelines and actual disposal maneuver cases to prepare KOMPSAT-2 post mission disposal. And then, disposal maneuver plan was established using current propellant of KOMPSAT-2 and verification was also performed to find out whether the international guidelines are satisfied. As a result, the lifetime of KOMPSAT-2 was 3.6 years when 45kg propellant was used to decrease perigee altitude to 300km. And if more than 14.5kg propellant consumed for same strategy, KOMPSAT-2 can satisfy the international guidelines. Finally, re-entry survivability analysis was performed and it represented that heat resistant objects, such as propellant tank and reaction wheel, could be survived but total ground casualty probability was less than international guidelines.

This paper describes the orbital dynamics operation results for the launch and early operations phase (LEOP) of KOMPSAT-3, which was successfully launched on May 18, 2012. At the initial phase, operational orbit determination was carried out using ground tracking data and GPS navigation solution. And, both in-plane and out-of plane maneuvers were executed in order to change the orbit from the injection orbit to the mission orbit. In addition, the accuracy of precise orbit determination was indirectly evaluated by overlapping method using GPS raw data of KOMPSAT-3 and international GNSS service data from worldwide-distributed ground stations. Currently, KOMPSAT-3 is operated in pre-defined mission orbit, and its various kinds of orbit data are generated and distributed to support the normal mission operations.

다목적실용위성 3호는 2012년 5월 발사되어, 위성 기능점검을 위한 시험을 성공적으로 완료하였다. 위성발사이후 태양전지판 전개를 포함하여 장착된 모든 전장품(Unit)을 순차적으로 모니터링하면서 관련 명령어를 송신하고, 이후 송신된 명령어에 대한 수행여부를 모니터링하며 전장품의 정상 동작상태를 판단하게 된다. 위성상태의 모니터링은 상태 디스플레이 페이지(AND, AlphaNumeric Display), 각종 이벤트 디스플레이 및 위성에서 수신한 덤프 데이터 디스플레이 등을 통해서 수행한다. 이러한 위성의 상태정보는 지상의 엔지니어가 신속하면서 정확한 판단을 수행할 수 있도록 정확한 정보를 가독성있게 디스플레이해야할 필요가 있다. 또한, 위성교신 이후에는 위성에서 저장된 상태정보를 수신하여 비실시간 위성상태 데이터를 분석하는 작업을 수행한다. 이때, 엔지니어가 필요로 하는 상태정보 아이템을 자신이 원하는 형태로 추출할 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 필수 기능들은 시스템의 안정성을 기반으로 동작하여야 한다. 이와 같은 시스템이 운영될 수 있도록 초기운영 이전에 안정화 및 검증 작업을 수행하였으며, 초기운영 기간에도 정상운영 단계에서 임무관제국의 운영요원이 용이하게 위성의 상태를 모니터링할 수 있도록 위성상태정보에 대한 데이터베이스와 오류 감지 능력을 포함하는 위성상태 표출 기능을 최적화 하는 작업을 수행하였다. 임무관제국에서 개발된 위성상태모니터링 시스템을 통하여 안정적으로 다목적실용위성 3호의 초기운영에 대한 실시간 모니터링 및 비실시간 데이터 분석 작업을 수행하였다. 또한, 초기운영기간동안의 최적화 작업을 통하여 정상운영기간 동안 운영요원이 용이하게 오류 감지를 수행할 수 있도록 시스템을 지속적으로 개선하였다.

This paper describes the orbit accuracy of KOMPSAT-5, which has been in normal operations since the launch on Aug. 22, 2013. The analysis on the various GPS related data and the different methodologies for orbit estimation are carried out and compared with each other. The accuracy of precise orbit is confirmed to be 12.8cm($1{\sigma}$) on average using data from the in-flight dual frequency GPS receiver, GPS precise ephemeris, and IGS stations. In addition, the orbit estimation using single frequency GPS receiver provides the orbit solution around 2m level. And, the accuracy of orbit processing is 5m using on-board navigation solution, which has about 10m accuracy.

현재 우리나라의 대표적인 저궤도실용위성 시리즈인 '다목적실용위성'은 K2, K3, K5, K3A(2호, 3호, 5호, 3A호) 이렇게 총 네 가지로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국항공우주연구원에서 운영하는 다목적실용위성 K3인 일상 임무계획(Mission Planning)의 모듈 자동화 시스템 개발에 대한 내용을 다뤘다. 그중에서도, 일상적으로 반복 수행되는 K3 임무계획 업무 중에서 수동 작업을 자동화하기 위해 객체지향 CBD 개발 방법론을 토대로 C#을 이용한 자동화 시스템을 구조화 시키는 방안에 대해 주력하였다. 그 결과로 자동화 개념 정립을 위한 Feasibility Study를 수행할 것이다. 이를 다목적실용위성 K3 임무계획 중 일상적인 임무계획에 한하여 제한적으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대하며, 이는 나아가 본 선행연구 결과물을 이용하여 K3 임무계획 자동화시스템에 적용에 적극 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
