COMS accommodates multiple payloads; Meteorological Image(MI), Ocean Color Imager(GOCI) and Ka-band communication payloads. In order to improve the quality of MI visible channel, the moon image has been taken into account as backup reference in addition to Albedo monitoring. However, obtaining the moon image by adding special mission schedule is not recommended after IOT, because we may miss chances to obtain meteorological images during the time slots for special imaging. As an alternative solution, an approach extracting moon image from MI FD(Full Disk) image has been proposed when the moon is positioned near to the earth. However, prediction of acquisition time of moon image is somewhat difficult as the moon moves while the MI is scanning type sensor. And the moon can not be seen when it is behind the earth or outside of FD field of view. This paper discusses how effectively the moon can be detected by the MI FD imaging. For that purpose, this paper describes an approach taken to predict the time when the moon image is achievable and then introduces the results obtained from computer simulation.

This study experimentally investigates effect of boiling heat transfer when ultrasonic vibration was applied. Under the wall temperature condition, temperature distribution in a cavity was measured during the boiling process and heat transfer coefficient of convection, sub-tooled boiling and saturated boiling states were measured with and without ultrasonic vibration, respectively. Also, the profiles of the pressure distribution in acoustic field measured by a hydrophone were compared with the augmentation ratios of heat transfer calculated by local heat transfer coefficient. Result of this study, heat transfer coefficient and augmentation ratio of heat transfer is higher with ultrasonic waves than without one. Especially, augmentation ratio of heat transfer is more increased the convection state than sub-cooled boiling and saturated boiling states. Acoustic pressure is relatively higher near ultrasonic transducer than other points where is no installed it and affects the augmentation ratio of heat transfer.

The history of mankind's lunar exploration began in 1958 with the United States of America "Pioneer 0" mission. In 1950s~1970s, the United States of America and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics carried out missions and experienced numerous failures to explore the moon. Since the 1990s, Japan, Europe, China and other Advanced country in Space technology have started to explore the moon and in 2016, Korea began to develop the lunar orbiter for lunar exploration. This paper analyzed the failure cases and causes of the lunar exploration in the USA and the USSR in the 1950s~1970s according to the mission purpose. Examples of mission delays, cancel, and failures that occurred during lunar exploration in post-1990s were presented. Through the investigation and analysis, this paper is intended to serve as a reference of the lunar exploration mission that Korea is working on or will be performing in the future.

Ground station in lunar mission is responsible to receive telemetry signal including sensor data from lunar orbiter and/or lander. At preliminary stage of developing this ground station, receiving performance such as antenna size and noise temperature should be designed on the basis of link budget analysis. When the antenna of ground station is pointing to the moon to communicate with lunar orbiter and/or lander, noise level is supposed to be increasing due to the lunar flux density. It means that the moon is working as a noise source to degrade receiving performance when antenna is pointing to the moon. Antenna noise temperature contributed by the moon was firstly calculated and secondary validated by using test configuration in this paper. Consequently, it was shown that antenna noise temperature caused by the moon was quietly matched with measured one and G/T degradation of receiving system in lunar mission can be calculated depending on antenna size and frequency.

지금까지 해외의 여러 달 궤도선에서 달의 영상을 다양한 방법으로 관측한 것에서 알 수 있듯이 영상 관측은 달 탐사에서 중요한 부분이다. 특히 그 중에서 입체 영사기(Stereo Imager)는 달의 3차원적 영상을 관측하여 달 표면의 구조를 파악할 수 있고 분광 카메라(Hyperspectral Camera)는 달 표면을 이루고 있는 물질을 분광 정보를 통해서 알아낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라가 2020년경 독자적인 달 궤도선을 계획하고 있는 것에 발맞추어 이 두 관측 장비를 설계해 보았다. 본 연구에서 설계한 탑재체는 하나의 광학계를 이용해 가시광 영역에서 동시에 입체 영상과 분광 영상을 얻을 수 있는 장치이며, 달 표면에서의 궤도선의 속도와 저장 가능한 정보의 양을 고려하여 100 km의 고도에서 속도를 1.6 km/s로 가정할 때 interline CCD가 17.5 m의 공간 분해능을 갖기 위해 92 frame/s 이상의 frame rate로 관측을 수행할 수 있게 하였다. 특히 분광 카메라는 wedge filter를 사용하여 광학계의 부담을 줄였으며 검출기로는 interline CCD를 사용하여 channel 수를 조절할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 달 표면을 구성하는 입자의 크기에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있는 편광판도 설치 하였다. 시험 모델의 문제점을 분석하여 새롭게 개선된 탑재체를 설계하여 개발하였다. 렌즈를 수정해 vignetting과 왜곡 현상을 보정하였고 전체 무게를 1.5 kg으로 줄여서 시험 모델보다 30% 이상 줄일 수 있었다. 파장 분해능은 20nm로 시험모델보다 더 개선된 분해능을 얻을 수 있었다. 출력 효율의 증대를 위해 power board의 수정을 수행하였다.

This study investigates how the lunar phases drawing module-applied instruction affects high school students' conceptual changes of the lunar phases. 46 juniors in a high school were given the module instruction on drawing the lunar phases, and then interviews were conducted to verify conceptual changes in subjects' recognition structures. The types of students' misconceptions of the lunar phases change before the instruction were as follows. Type S is that the Earth's shadow covers the moon. Type SR is that one has both misconception of Type S and a scientific concept at the same time according to the positional relationships. The scientific concept means that an observer sees a moon's part which reflects sunlight. Type SB is that the Earth's shadow covers the moon or the moon can be seen or not by the background's brightness according to the positional relationships. The last Type SRB includes all three above-mentioned types, and it explains the lunar phases at each position. As a result of the module-based instruction, 26 out of 36 subjects built up the scientific concept and 10 students did not. 7 out of the 11 Type S and 3 out of the 17 Type SR students did not, either. Especially, type S students did not change their preconception that the phases of moon change were done by the earth's shadow. Here, their preconception is too much strong; as they solve problems, their preconception is more beneficial, comparing to the method which it is presented from the module. This fact supports that it is difficult for students to discard preconception.

Upon the human exploration era of the Moon, this paper introduces lunar topography and geologic fundamentals to space scientists. The origin of scientific terminology for the lunar topography was briefly summarized, and the extension of the current Korean terminology is suggested. Specifically, we suggest the most representative lunar topography that are useful to laymen as 1 ocean (Oceanus Procellarum), 10 maria (Mare Imbrium, Mare Serenitatis, Mare Tranuillitatis, Mare Nectaris, Mare Fecundatis, Mare Crisium, Mare Vaporium, Mare Cognitum, Mare Humorum, Mare Nubium), 6 great craters (Tyco, Copernicus, Kepler, Aristachus, Stebinus, Langrenus). We also suggest Korean terms for highland, maria, mountains, crater, rille, rima, graben, dome, lava tube, wrinkle ridge, trench, rupes, and regolith. In addition, we introduce the standard model for the lunar interior and typical rocks. According to the standard model on the basis of historical impact events, the lunar geological eras are classified as Pre-Nectarian, Nectarian, Imbrian, Erathostenesian, and Copernican in chronologic order. Finally, we summarize the latest discovery records on the water on the Moon, and introduce the concept of water extraction from the lunar soil, which is to be developed by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM).

본 고에서는 일반적으로 노즐 부위 열해석에서 무시되는 복사열전달율과 점성소산효과를 수치적 모델을 통하여 그 필요성 여부를 조사한 것이며 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1)연소실 및 수 렴부위에서는 복사열전달율이 대류열전달율과 같은 차수의 크기로 나타나고 있어서 고 복사율을 갖는 연소가스에서는 특히 중요하다. 특히 최근에 많이 사용되는 연료에는 연소가스에 산화알 루미늄 성분이 증가하는 추세이므로 노즐부위 열해석에는 복사열전달이 차지하는 비중이 커질 것이다. (2)노즐의 확산부위에서는 고속으로 인하여 가스자체의 점성소산이 일어나 특성치 보 정계수 값이 감소한다. 따라서 Bartz의 예측치 보다는 열전달계수의 값이 적어지고 있다. (3) 따라서 노즐수렴부위에서는 일반적으로 Bartz의 예상치보다 높고 확산부에서는 낮은 결과를 얻 었던 실험결과와를 비교할 때 고온고속 노즐에서의 열전달해석은 복사 열전달과 점성열 소산을 고려함으로써 정확하게 될 수 있다. (4)이상 고려된 실험 데이터와 수치모델의 고찰은 노즐내의 침식이 없는 경우이나 실제의 경우 노즐벽 표면에서 화학적 반응이 일어난다. 그러나 이때 발 생될 수 있는 순수한 발한효과는 미미하며 단지 전체적인 단면의 열 해석시 상기에서 예측된 열전달율을 근간으로 화학반응열 및 온도분포를 계산하여야 할 것이다.

양벽면 모두 사각돌출형조도요소가 설치된 동심 이중관내에서 생기는 비대칭 난류유동과 열전달 특성을, 열전달과 마찰계수에 미치는 조도의 합성효과를 조사하기 위해, 연구하였다. 이론해석에서는 한쪽면에 거칠기가 있는 평행평판의 유동에 대한 수정 플란틀 혼합길이(mixing length)이론의 난류 모델을 속도분포와 마찰계수를 구하는데 사용하였다. 최대속도지점에서 안쪽과 바깥쪽의 두 속도형상들은 힘의 평형에 의해 일치시켰다. 그리고 나서, 온도 분포와 열전달 계수를 계산하였다. 속도형성과 마찰계수들의 해석결과는 실험과 매우 잘 일치하였다. 마찰계수와 Nusselt number에 미치는 조도비, 조도에 대한 피치비, 그리고 반경비등과 같은 여러 변수들의 효과들을 조사하였다. 본 연구는 일정의 조도 요소들이 전체적 효율 측면에서 볼때 유리하게 열전달을 향상시킨다는 것을 증명하였다.
