아리랑위성 2호는 2006년에 발사되어 정상 운영 중이다. 아리랑 위성 5호와 아리랑위성 3호는 각각 2010년과 2011년에 발사될 예정이다. 아리랑위성 2호의 운영시스템은 하나의 위성을 운영하는 개념에 따라서 개발되었다. 그러나 아리랑위성 3호 운영시스템과 아리랑위성 5호 운영시스템은 다중위성운영 개념을 도입하여 개발되고 있다. 다중위성운영 개념이란 (1) 임무를 준비하고 수행하기 위해서 충분한 임무 요소, 시설 요소, 인원 및 운영절차를 확보한다. (2) 각각의 운영시스템은 독자적인 임무 요소, 시설 요소, 인원 및 절차를 소유하나 하위 상세 부분들은 다른 운영시스템과 공유된다. 다중위성운영의 경우에 장비, 서브시스템, 운영절차 등이 다를 수 있고, 독자적인 운영시스템 구성이기 때문에 운영이 복잡하고 운영비용이 많이 든다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 점을 개선시키기 위해서 다중임무운영 설계개념을 제시한다. 다중임무운영 개념은 (1) 임무를 준비하고 수행하기 위해서 최근 수정 및 변경된 임무 요소, 시설 요소, 인원 및 운영절차를 확보한다. (2) 최근 수정 및 변경된 임무 요소, 시설 요소, 인원 및 운영 절차는 이전 개발된 운영시스템이 수행하는 기능을 지원한다. 이러한 개념의 다중임무운영은 비슷한 임무와 기능을 가진 위성들이 같은 운영자와 조직에 의해서 운영될 때 잘 적용될 수 있다. 다중임무운영시스템은 각각의 임무에만 사용되는 모듈과 다른 임무와 공통으로 사용되는 모듈로 구성된다. 이러한 개념에 따라서 운영시스템을 개발하면 개발하기 위한 시간과 예산을 크게 감소시킬 수 있다. 또한, 발사 이후 운영의 편리, 운영인력의 효율적인 활용 및 유지보수의 편리성으로 인해서 운영 상황이 크게 개선된다.

The organization for satellite operation team is mainly based on the number of satellites to be controlled, operator's workload of payload operation support and the degree of automation of the operation system. Although the structure and its functionality of satellite operation organization are a little different according to the complexity of the operation, most satellite control centers have adapted the similar architecture for single or multiple satellite support. KARI Satellite Operation Center(KSOC) has started its simple mission operations since the launch of KOMPSAT-1(21st Dec. 1999) and has been evolving into multiple mission operations for various satellites such as KOMPSAT-2, KOMPSAT-3, KOMPSAT-5 and COMS(Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite). This paper presents the appropriate direction of future deployment for KSOC by comparing the current status with the recommendation of the advanced satellite operation organization and analyzing their experiences in order to propose the better solution for efficient and safe satellite operations.

Satellite images from Earth-orbit satellites are widely utilized in both the public sector and commercial industry. To achieve a high-quality satellite image service, satellite operation focuses on accurately transmitting images and information of space to users. In particular, the delivery time from ground system to user is the core factor of the quality of a ground station service. Thus, much development is underway to specifically shorten the time required for distribution to users. In this paper, we introduce an interface design of a ground station to shorten the delivery time from order to distribution, related to the archiving order of satellite images.

Integration of satellites with diverse missions, such as broadcast-communication, earth, meteorologicaland marine observations, and navigation, is vulnerable. The problems of the currently constructed ground station network were analyzed by constructing the test environment. Based on this, we designed a network that was capable of operating multiple satellites by one ground station. In addition, we proposed an interface and network configuration method with domestic and foreign ground stations. The network linking the domestic and foreign ground stations was composed of KREONET (Korea Research Environment Open Network) and GLORIAD (Global Ring Network for Advanced Application Development) of the KISTI(Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information). The internal network consists of VPN (Virtual Private Network), DMZ(De-Militarized Zone), and 1-way USB and so forth. By constructing the network by using the proposed method, harmful data, such as virus inflow and infection, can be blocked.

According to the Space Development Promotion Basic Plan, more than 110 satellites are expected to be deployed by 2031. Accordingly, the operation concept and technology for satellites constellation are required, compared to the existing few multi-satellite operations. It is essential to automate and optimize the mission operation system, for efficient operation of the satellite constellation, and preparations are urgently needed for the operation of satellite constellation in domestic as well. In this study, the development direction and strategy of the mission operation system applying automation and optimization for efficient operation of the satellite constellation are proposed. The framework for evaluating the automation level and priority of the mission operation system was developed, to identify the tasks to which automation should be applied preferentially.

This paper presents a sun-synchronous orbit design which effectuvely includes the requirements derived from spacecraft to ground station contact and spacecraft to target image accessibility. For this purpose, operation parameters of multiple spacecraft are defined as Contact Overlap, Contact Overlap Gap, Access Overlap, Access Overlap Gap. These parameters are used to form a Figure of Merit that reflects the operational requirements. The Figure of Merit is optimized to increase the efficiency of operating multiple spacecraft in constellation and is used to determine the operational orbit of each spacecraft that constitutes the constellation.

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 modern society is changing paradigm by the 4th industrial revolution. In these changes, the importance of geospatial information leading to the fusion and connection of persons and objects is increasing day by day. GNSS CORS(Continuously Operating Reference Station) plays a pivotal role in the geospatial information by providing basic data for surveying control points, mapping, navigation, geophysical research, and so on. On the other hand, the satellite surveying technologies are developing rapidly and it is necessary to investigate the status of the satellite surveying environment and search for future directions. In this study, the environment related to satellite survey by operation status of domestic and overseas CORS(Continuously Operating Reference Station) was tried to analyze. Through the research, The operation status of NGII and IGS CORS were presented. It was found that the availability ratio of multiple satellites to the CORS of NGII are lower than that of IGS CORS. Considering the improvement of positioning performance by using multiple GNSS, it is necessary to use multi-satellites in the future.

In the case of multi-mission LEO(Low Earth Orbit) operations, depending on the orbit of each satellite, one ground site is supposed to be communicated with more than two satellites at the same time. On top of that, image data processing system is generally mission-specific and 1:1 backup configuration. For the reason, if ground site has smaller number of antenna than that of satellite, interface with image data processing system would be very complicated. In this paper, considering that two LEO satellites can be operating and image data recording unit in redundancy can be easily plug-in, the implementation of matrix receiving structure is described. This matrix receiving structure has been validated from KOMPSAT-2 and -3(KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-2 and -3) since KOMPSAT-3 was launched in May, 2012. This structure will be applied for the KOMPSAT-3A and -5 through its expandability.

Many studies have been performed since the introduction of GPS in Korea. As a result, positioning using GNSS was fully proposed. On the other hand, most of these studies focused on accuracy but analytical studies on the GNSS status and the national GNSS infrastructure of Korea are lacking. In this study, the status of multi-constellation GNSS and National Geographic Information Institute's CORS (Continuous Operating Reference Station) were identified for the benefit and direction of GNSS infrastructure enhancement. As a result, it has been operating Multi-constellation GNSS, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, COMPASS, and QZSS for surveying. In addition, improvement was presented by the number of satellites, precision, PDOP, etc. through the experiment about VRS and RTK using Multi-constellation GNSS. Upgrading the infrastructure for satellite surveying was identified as a priority consideration. In the future, if a Multi-constellation GNSS service is possible in VRS service, the satisfaction of public administration service will improve, which will contribute greatly to the advancement of a surveying infrastructure.
