In this paper, we briefly introduce the micro-vibration test bench of KARI and the test and analysis method of RWA(Reaction Wheel Assembly) micro-vibration. The micro-vibration of RWA is measured on a KISTLER dynamic plate which can measure the time signal of 6 DOF simultaneously up to 400Hz. Measured data are extensively evaluated with respect to the wheel spin rate to identify the complicate wheel dynamic characteristics, and the static/dynamic unbalances are estimated from the extracted first harmonic component as a part of evaluation process. The estimated static and dynamic unbalances. 0.79gcm and 17.4gcm² respectively. The structural resonance mode and two rocking modes observed as a results of its frequency analysis. Several higher order harmonic components observed, which come from its rotor shape as well as the wheel bearing characteristics.

Fly-wheel, gimbal antenna, mechanical gyro and cryocooler with moving parts generate a micro-vibration during their on-orbit operation. For the acquisition of high quality image of observation satellite, additional technical efforts are required to reduce the micro-vibration level from the vibration sources. In this study, we proposed a passive isolation system combined with a tuned mass damper-type energy harvester to generate electrical energy from the micro-vibration which has always been subjected to useless isolation objectives. The feasibility of the system has been investigated through the numerical simulation.

Two axis gimbal type X-band antenna system has been widely used to effectively transmit the real time image data from the observation satellite to the ground station. The micro-vibration generated by stepping motor actuation and imperfect intermeshed gear configuration of the antenna is one of the sources to degrade the image quality. To guarantee a high quality image of high resolution observation satellite, micro-vibration isolation of X-band antenna is required. In this paper, the X-band antenna vibration isolation system using pseudoelastic SMA(Shape Memory Alloy) mesh washer has been newly suggested. The basic characteristics of the SMA mesh washer isolator proposed in this study has been measured through static load tests and its effectiveness has been demonstrated by the micro-vibration isolation test of the X-band antenna.

이 논문에서는 미소진동이 인공위성 영상품질에 끼치는 영향에 대해 살펴본다. 지구관측위성은 임무수행 시 영상의 지상전달 등을 위해 다양한 구동장치를 가동하며, 이로 인해 미소진동에 노출된다. 이러한 미소진동은 광학탑재체를 가진하여 초점면(Focal Plane)상의 영상운동을 야기하며, 이로 인해 영상품질이 저하된다. 특히, 고해상도 관측위성일수록 미소진동에 의한 영상품질의 저하가 커지므로, 위성개발 시에 영상품질에 대한 영향평가는 필수적이다. 이를 해석하기 위해서 키슬러플랫폼 위에서 진동원의 가진력을 측정 및 그 동특성을 분석한다. 이 가진원은 임무수행형상의 유한요소모델에 적용하여 광학탑재체 초점면의 영상운동을 계산하며, 최종적으로 영상품질에 미치는 영향을 평가한다.

Jitter induced from several payloads on-board satellites degrade the performance of pointing accuracy and attenuate the resolving power of highly-precise camera image such as KOMPSAT II. In this paper, we introduce a micro-vibration measurement technique, analysis of dynamic characteristics, and modeling method for a reaction wheel assembly which is one of the major sources of jitter in satellites and an effective vibration reduction techniques are considered. Based on these techniques, vibration measurement and passive control were performed with an micro-vibration generator which was designed to have similar dynamic performances with an actual reaction wheel assembly above 50Hz.

While microseismicity induced by hydraulic stimulation carried out for EGS is useful means in estimating the range of permeability increase, it also affect surface structures and environments. In order to establish a mitigation plan for microseismicity triggered by hydraulic stimulation, we reviewed world-wide guidelines on the impact of ground vibration on the surface structure and human environment by blasting. Case studies from Europe and USA on the microseismicity by hydraulic stimulation are presented and suggestions are made for the guidelines on ground vibration by hydraulic stimulation for the ongoing Pohang EGS project.

A system for microseismic monitoring due to underground displacements is being operated in several mining areas in order to analyze ground subsidence. Microseismic monitoring system mainly consist of three components; 3-component geophone, data logger and analysis program. The previous analysis program had found the location of microseismic source by analysing only first arrivals of P-waves, but the upgraded analysis program has improved accuracy of the location by analysing both P- and S-waves. This analysis program also has upgraded the function to calculate the microseismic magnitude by using regional specific coefficient and microseismic amplitude. Also the program has upgraded the function to confirm visual location of microseismic source by superimposing field aerial photographs and the results.

통신위성은 지향성에 대한 요구조건이 상대적으로 느슨하지만 광학 카메라나 영상 레이다를 이용하여 지구를 관측하는 관측위성의 경우 고품질의 영상을 위해 정밀한 지향성 및 지향 안정성이 요구되나 극심한 열 하중에 의한 열변형 및 임무궤도 상에서 발생하는 미소진동 등은 지향 안정성을 영향을 주며 영상의 품질을 저하시킨다. 특히 자세제어를 위해 쓰이는 반작용휠이나 지상과의 송수신을 위한 안테나들은 그 기능을 수행하기 위해 작동하는 과정에서 미소진동을 발생시키고 이는 카메라나 레이다에 외란으로 작용하기 때문에 이를 최소화할 필요가 있다. 이 논문은 미소진동을 저감시키기 위한 진동저감 장치의 성능과 효율성 분석을 그 목적으로 한다.

Micro-vibration induced by on-board appendages that have mechanical moving parts has always been treated as an useless objective that has to be isolated, in order to comply with a high-resolution mission requirement of the observation satellite. In this study, we proposed a tuned mass damper energy harvester combined with a conventional passive vibration isolator for exhibiting dual functions of both electrical energy harvesting and micro-vibration isolation. The feasibility of the proposed dual-function complex system has been demonstrated through the comparison with numerical simulations, based on the results of basic characteristic tests, and experiments of the harvested power and micro-vibration.

The spaceborne cooler is applied to cool down of the focal plane of the infrared detector of the observation satellite. However, this cooler induces unnecessary micro-jitter which can degrade the image quality of the high-resolution observation satellite. In this study, we proposed a multi-layered blade type vibration isolator to attenuate micro-vibration generated from a spaceborne cooler, while assuring structural safety of the cooler under severe launch loads without an additional launch-lock device. The blade of the isolator is formed with multi-layers in order to obtain durability against fatigue failure and an adhesive is applied between each layers for granting high damping capability under launch vibration environment. In this study, the basic characteristics of the isolator were measured using the free-vibration test. The effectiveness of the isolator design was demonstrated by launch vibration test at qualification level.
