한국형 시험용 달 궤도선(KPLO)에 실릴 과학 탑재체 가운데 하나인 광시야 편광 카메라(PolCam)는 최초로 달 표면전체의 편광 특성을 관측한다. 편광 특성은 태양-달-관측기기 사이의 각도인 위상각에 따라 달라지므로, 다양한 위상각에서의 반복 관측을 통해 달 전 지역에 대한 각각의 편광곡선을 얻을 예정이다. 편광곡선으로부터 달 표면의 입자 크기와 성분 등의 분포를 알 수 있다. 이는 과학적으로도 흥미로울 뿐 아니라, 미래의 달 탐사 임무를 위한 착륙지 선정 시에도 중요한 참고자료가 된다. 여기에서는, PolCam이 1년간의 KPLO 임무 동안 관측할 수 있는 지역 및 위상각의 분포를 소개한다. 또한, 임무 도중 관측이 일시중지되거나 임무 자체가 비정상종료되는 경우 불완전한 관측 자료로부터 편광곡선을 구하는 방법에 대해 알아본다.

이 연구는 심우주 추적망(Deep Space Network) 측정 시스템의 구현을 위한 한국형 심우주 항법 예비 소프트웨어(Korean Deep Space Orbit Determination Program version 1; K-DSODP ver.1)의 개발을 목표로 한다. 연구의 주 내용은 심우주 항법을 위한 기초 기술 연구로 지구로부터 달까지 진행하는 탐사선의 궤적 추정에 대한 것이며, 연구의 시작에 앞서 사용될 관측 데이터를 얻기 위해 한국형 심우주 항법 관측데이터 생성 소프트웨어(Korean Deep Space Observation Data Generation Program version 1; K-DSODGP ver.1)를 개발하여 사용하였다. 임의의 잡음이 추가된 가상의 관측 데이터를 생성한 후, 이 관측 데이터를 실제 궤도로 상정하여 기하학적인 관측 모델을 수립하였고, 일정한 시간 간격동안 모은 임의의 관측 데이터를 가지고 궤도 결정을 수행하여 추정된 궤도를 전파하였다. 궤도 결정 알고리즘을 구성하기 위해 기본적인 좌표계, 탐사선에 미치는 지구의 중력에 대한 동역학 모델, 천체력과 탐사선의 동역학 모델로 구성된 관측 모델들을 유도하였으며, 탐사선의 위치와 속도를 추정하는 과정에서 가중치 최소 자승법을 적용하여 추정 궤도와 실제 궤도의 최소화를 유도하였다. 이러한 일련의 과정을 통해 요구한 시각의 탐사선의 위치와 속도를 결정하는 궤도결정 시스템을 구현하였고, 궤도 결정 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해 전파된 궤도와 실제 궤도의 차이를 분석하였다. 결과적으로 300초마다 관측데이터를 받을 경우, 2일 이상의 궤도결정 시간간격을 상정했을 때 평균 오차는 각각 약 0.26km RMS(range), 6.84km/s RMS(range-rate) 이내의 결과를 얻었고, 600초마다 관측데이터를 받을 경우, 평균 오차는 각각 약 0.30km RMS (range), 6.35km/s RMS(range-rate) 이내의 안정적인 결과를 얻었다. 이 연구의 결과를 통하여 추후 심화된 심우주 항법 소프트웨어 개발을 위한 기반이 마련될 것이다.

Korea is near close the success on the indigenous launch vehicle KSLV-2 after the second test launch during the second half of 2022, and the satellite development has been already in the level of advanced country. After the such mature of satellite and launch vehicle technologies, Korea's space development main theme should be 'Space Exploration and Space Application', and paradigm should be changed from 'Hardware' to 'Scientific/Technological Mission', from 'Unmanned' to 'Manned'. Korea's prime space strategy should be the direction of expansion of space industry, creation of employment and secure the key technologies, improvement of convenience and safety of people. For the purpose it is necessary to start 'Manned Space Development' such that participation to 'Artemis and Gateway Program' in 20s' and manned Mars exploration in 30s' which would be carried out by means of global international cooperation, and which could be a good opportunity to explore the new area of space development and upgrade national technology capability. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is required for Korea to join the international programs through developing indigenous challenging, sustainable Korean mission and hardware. Also selection of the 2^nd Korean Astronaut could draw national attention, especially could give dreams to young generation. Participation to the Artemis program could be the opportunity of entering the major space fairing nation and boosting up national pride. In this study we survey and analyze the Artemis Program in detail, and in conclusion we suggest the strategy of Korea's participation to the Artemis Program.

As Korean first lunar probe, Danuri, succeeded in entering lunar orbit, Korean new space exploration plans such as Mars exploration can be expected. Korean space exploration payload is developed only in a limited field, so there is a need to create a new space exploration payload. In foreign countries, there is a mass spectrometer as a basic equipment for space exploration, and it is a very useful payload that encompasses the exploration of life through the analysis of organic matter as well as the observation of the atmosphere and volatile substances of the exploration target. However, Korea has never developed a mass spectrometer payload for space exploration, so it is necessary to secure technology in preparation for future space exploration. Before that, we look at the scientific achievements of foreign mass spectrometer payloads for space exploration and identify trends.

한글의 글꼴 동일성 여부가 단어 우월 효과에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 두 편의 실험을 수행하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서는 바탕체 글꼴을 탐사 자극으로 사용하여 검사 자극과의 글꼴 일치 여부가 단어 우월 효과에 미치는 영향을 자극 제시 시간에 따라 알아보았다. 두 번째 실험에서는 첫 실험에서 얻어진 결과를 토대로 탐사 자극의 글꼴을 각각 바탕체와 세벌체로 하고, 검사 자극이 탐사 자극과 일치하는 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우의 단어 우월 효과에 대해 알아보았다. 두 실험 결과, 탐사 자극과 검사 자극의 글꼴 일치 여부는 한글 단어 우월 효과에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 탐사 자극과 검사 자극의 문자형이 서로 달라도 단어 우월 효과가 나타날 수 있음을 의미하는 것으로 단어 우월 효과가 국지적인 시각 자극의 속성에 영향을 받지 않음을 보여주는 것이다.

For sustainable lunar exploration, the most required resources should be procured on site because it takes tremendous cost to transfer the resources from the Earth to the Moon. The technologies required for use of lunar resources refers to In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). As the ISRU technology cannot be verified in the Earth, a lunar surface environment simulator is necessary to be prepared in advance. The Moon has no atmosphere, and the average temperature of the lunar surface reaches to $107^{\circ}C$ during the daytime and $-153^{\circ}C$ at night. The lunar surface is also covered with very fine soils with sharp particles that are electrostatically charged by solar radiation and solar wind. In this research, generation of vacuum environment with lunar soil mass in a chamber and simulation of electrostatically charged soils are taken into consideration. It was successful to make a vacuum environment of a chamber including lunar soils without soil disturbance by controlling evacuation rate of a vacuum chamber. And an experiment procedure for simulating the charged lunar soil was suggested by theoretical consideration in charging phenomena on lunar dust.

In recent years, lots of studies on the planetary rover systems have been performed around space advanced agencies such as NASA, ESA, JAXA, etc. Among the various technologies for the planetary rover system, the mobility system, navigation algorithm, and scientific payload have been focused particularly. In this paper, the conceptual design for a ground-based model of planetary rover's mobility system to evaluate mobility and moving stability on ground is presented. The status of overseas research and development of the planetary rover systems is also addressed in terms of technical issues. And then, the requirements of the planetary rover's mobility system are derived by means of considering mobility and stability. The designed rover's mobility system has an active suspension with 6 legs that controls 6 joints on the each leg in order to achieve high stability and mobility. This kind of mobility system has already applied to the ATHELE of NASA for various purposes such as transportation and habitation for human lunar exploration activities in the near future (i.e., Constellation program). However, the proposed system has been designed by focusing on the small-sized unmanned explorations, which may be applied for the future Korea Lunar exploration missions. Therefore, we expect that this study will be an useful reference and experience in order to develop the planetary exploration rover system in Korea.

There would be a long-waited launch of a Korean space launch vehicle(KSLV-I) in NARO Space Center which is located in Goheung, Jeol La Nam Do in Korea. Korea would be the nineth country in the world which could launch space launch vehicle itself. The launch of the 2nd technology satellite of 100kg with KSLV-I would give Korean hope and dream. In addition to the traditional space activities of U.S.A. and Russia, Japan launched the lunar satellite, Kaguya in 2007, China launched the lunar satellite, Change and succeeded in space walk and India launched the lunar satellite Chandrayaan in October, 2008. In this paper we study on the trend of domestic and international development of space launch vehicle considering all these space development activities.
