다목적 실용위성 1호로 2000년 6월 28일에서 2001년 8월 1일까지의 고도 685 Km, 22:50LT 지역시(Local Time)인 상부 이온층을 조사하였다. 위성에 탑재된 이온층 측정 센서(Ionospheric Measurement Sensor)로부터 전자 온도와 전자 밀도 데이터를 얻었으며, 자기 위도로 -60$^{\circ}$ ~ +60$^{\circ}$사이의 중ㆍ저위도의 데이터를 분석하였다. 관측 기간은 지자기 변화를 나타내는 Kp index나 태양 활동을 나타내는 F10.7이 크게 변화한 태양 극대기 기간으로, 특히 일변화의 F10.7을 통해 전자 온도와 전자 밀도의 변화를 조사하였다. 측정 시간이 야간(22:50)임에도 불구하고 태양 활동을 나타내는 F10.7에 따라 전자 온도와 전자 밀도가 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. F10.7이 250이하일 때는 F10.7이 커질수록 전자밀도는 거의 선형적으로 증가하였으며 전자온도도 증가는 하나 그 정도는 전자 밀도보다 작게 나타났다. F10.7이 250을 넘어가면 전자 밀도가 일정하거나 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 부가적으로 비슷한 고도의 DMSP-F15의 데이터와 비교를 통해 다목적 실용위성 1호의 관측결과의 신뢰성을 높였다.

This paper describes playback downlink and telecommand uplink channel design performed for a transportable small-sized KOMPSAT(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite) ground station. As a result of downlink channel design, required receiving performance was calculated from the threshold signal-to-noise ratio of playback signal and it was revealed that this performance can be guaranteed in 1.5 m ground station with 6.5 dB/K of G/T. For the uplink channel design, 40 dBW of EIRP was derived from the threshold signal-to-noise ratio of telecommand signal received at on-board receiver. The implemented small-sized ground station based on design was evaluated to be fully acceptable for KOMPSAT TT&C(Telemetry, Tracking and Command) system and playback downlink design without taking account of additional 3 dB system link margin was shown to be effective because it had provided constantly initial channel performance without any remarkable degradation over several years of tests with KOMPSAT and KOMPSAT-2, for both uplink and playback downlink in the elevation angle above $10^{\circ}$.

Satellite generates a complex electromagnetic noise by conducted and radiated coupling effect of the various electrical instruments. This noise may cause serious problems on the satellite system. To minimize the electromagnetic coupling effects and maintain the system safety margin, system noise reduction technique should be applied from the beginning of the system design. The KOMPSAT-2 system is evaluated by measuring the conducted noise on system electrical power leads and verifying a 6dB system safety margin under the complex noise environment with current injection. This paper describes the KOMPSAT-2 system evaluation result performed on ETB(Electrical Test Bed) and the analysed noise element, the analysed result will be reflected on FM(Flight Model) EMC test.

The geolocation accuracy of SAR satellite imagery is affected by orbit and sensor information and external variables such as DEM accuracy and atmospheric delay. To predict geolocation accuracy of KOMPSAT-5 and KOMPSAT-6, this paper uses TerraSAR-X imagery which has similar spec. Simulation data for sensitivity analysis are generated using range equation and doppler equation with several key error sources. As a result of simulation analysis, the effect of sensor information error is larger than orbit information error. Especially, onboard electronic delay needs to be monitored periodically because this error affects geolocation accuracy of slant range direction by 30m. Additionally, DEM accuracy causes geolocation error by 20~30m in mountainous area and atmospheric delay can occur by 5m in response to atmospheric condition and incidence angle.

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.

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.

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.

Synthetic Aperture Radars (SARs) that can be performed regardless of weather and day-and-night conditions have been developed for Earth remote sensing in recent decades. Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has developed and launched successfully the KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellit-5 (KOMPSAT-5) which is the first Korean SAR satellite in 2013, and is currently developing the KOMPSAT-6 which is the next generation series of the SAR satellite. This paper describes the development of the system performance analysis simulator which is necessary for spaceborne SAR payload design and analysis. The system performance analysis simulator consists of the antenna pattern generation simulator, the SAR performance analysis simulator, and the image quality analysis simulator. The simulation results of this research show that this simulator can be applicable as the design and analysis tool for the spaceborne SAR payload system during the design phase.
