A power supply of cathode has been developed for hall-effect thruster for small satellite. A microwave cathode has been applied to the electric propulsion system and cathode power is necessary in oder to work securely. Anode current is varied by a flow rate controlled by anode tank pressure. Then cathode current has to be controled in proportion by anode current. So cathode power supply has been designed to offer a current proportional to anode current. Also cathode power has been tuned to work securely for cathode to emit more electron than anode within 0.03A. The function test of cathode power was performed by constructing an equivalent load for anode and cathode. It has been tested in a vacuum chamber in order to ensure a stable operation of the thruster. And it was confirmed that thruster normally has been operated in the space environment after the launch.

Minimization of conventional propulsion device has been studied for altitude control of micro satellite. We studied micro nozzle performance and found higher significant loss for a micro nozzle with smaller nozzle throat diameter. To overcome this loss, we proposed thermal transpiration based micro propulsion system. This new system has no moving parts and can control flow by temperature gradient, and this can be an option for potential new micro propulsion system.

Control Moment Gyro(CMG) is one of the most efficient momentum exchange devices for satellite attitude control and CMG is very essential device for agile satellite. And the studies of CMG development and its application to satellite have been done extensively. In this study, the development process of SGCMG hardware for agile small satellite system, the developed hardware and its performance test results are presented. As a SGCMG test results, it is verified that the developed hardware model can produce torque more than 0.6Nm as is designed. By investigating its test data results, the issues that should be considered for the performance improvement and its application are discussed. The remedies for the identified issues are proposed for future study.

1990년대 중반이후 선진외국의 위성 제작사들은 상업적인 목적으로 소형 위성체에 고해상도 광학 탑재체를 탑재한 위성을 개발하기 시작하였다. 특히 미국의 Lockheed Martin사에서 IKONOS라는 상업용 고해상도 지구관측 위성을 개발한 이후 미국 및 유럽의 선진외국 사에서 유사한 위성을 개발하여 미국 내 정부의 수요 및 해외고객의 수요를 충족시켰다. 최근 다음 세대 위성의 개발이 진행되어 1-2년 내에 발사를 앞두고 있는데 미국 내의 개발 동향은 위성의 대형화를 통한 성능 및 수명 증대와 더불어 고용량 자세제어 작동기를 사용한 고 기동성능 확보로 요약할 수 있으며, 탑재체 성능의 경우에는 PAN 채널의 경우 0.5 m 이하의 해상도를 갖는 성능 증대를 보이고 있다. 본 기술동향에서는 기존의 개발 되어있는 고해상도 지구관측위성의 특성을 살펴보고 향후 지구 저궤도 고해상도 관측위성의 개발동향에 대하여 분석하였다.

현재 개발 중인 저궤도 소형인공위성 발사체, KSLV (Korea Space Launch Vehicle)에 최초로 실리게 되는 ‘발사체 검증위성, KoDSat’ (KSLV Demonstration Satellite)은 발사과정 중에 위성체가 겪게 되는 진동 및 음향레벨 크기를 측정하여 지상국으로 전송하게 된다. 또한 위성체 내부에 설치한 카메라를 이용하여 발사체에서 분리되는 과정을 촬영하여 지상으로 동영상 데이터를 전송하게 된다. 열제어계의 목적은 어떠한 임무기간 동안에도 위성체의 모든 요소들이 각각의 허용 온도범위 내에서 유지되도록 하는데 있다.

The space center will be constructed by 2005 for launch of KSLV-I at Woinara-Do, Haban Village, Yenae-Ri, Bongrae-Myon, Kohung-Goon, Junlanam Province on the southern coast of the Korean peninsular. This will make Korea be the 13th advanced country in space development having launching site in the world. This paper presents licensing and safety requirements to protect the public from the risks associated with activities at a launch site.

A small Hall-effect thruster with a thrust range near 10 mN and a specific impulse of about 1500 s has been designed to control or maintain the orbits of small satellites. The thruster system consists of a hall-effect thruster head, a power processing unit and a Xenon (Xe) gas feed system. The total mass, the consumed electric power and the efficiency of the thruster are approximately 10 kg, 300W and 30%, respectively. Analyses results that support the selection of the thruster for small satellites are provided along with a brief description of the thruster system.
