초고압 CV 케이블용으로 다양한 형태의 접속함이 사용되고 있으나, 최근 케이블 시스템의 사용 전압이 초고압화됨에 따라 접속함 또한 고품질, 고신뢰성이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 공장에서 엄격한 품질 관리가 용이하고, 현장에서 쉽게 조립할 수 있는 프리몰드형 접속함(Premolded Joint: PMJ)의 사용이 급격하게 증대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서 최초로 $110kV{\sim}170kV$ 전압급의 PMJ 접속함 개발에 관하여 소개 하였다. 전기적, 기계적 및 열적 설계의 개념을 간략하게 소개하였으며, 접속함의 초기 성능 및 장기 신뢰성을 검증하기 위한 시험 및 평가 결과를 소개하였다.

The motor case for the KSLV-I KM is the first satellite launch vehicle ever to be developed by Korea to deliver the 100 kg class satellite into Earth's low orbit. This SLV is made of two stages, and the 2nd stage is made of solid rocket motor. The motor case of the KM is made of all composite materials except for the interface structures. Manufacturing process for the motor case such as insulation, filament winding for the motor case, fabrications for the interface structures will be discussed in this paper.

By modulating the flow rate of $N_2O$ into a HR motor assembly, a control valve of a hybrid rocket engine plays a role to increase or decrease the thrust. In this study, the control valve has been designed to meet the requirements which are response speed(${\leq}$ about 1 second) and torque(${\geq}$ about $36N{\cdot}m$). Then, when analog signal 0~10V is applied, the situation where the valve is opened and closed has to be realized. To do this, the data values have to be entered into the actuator. Finally, the performance evaluation of the control valve has been performed to validate this product.

Accurate alignment between high-performance payloads and attitude control sensors is essential factor to guarantee accurate attitude orientation and high pointing stability of the satellite. Space craft developers often use theodolite measurement system for satellite alignment during ground AIT(Assembly Integration and Test) phase. When measuring theodolite, errors may occur due to line of sight error, tilting axis error, vertical index error, and vertical axis error. In addition, errors that can occur during alignment measurements with multiple theodolites are analyzed through the alignment cube measurements test. Based on the alignment cube measurements test, a technical method that can improve the alignment measurement accuracy was suggested and it's measurements results satisfied the satellite design requirements.

The entire process, from the raw material to the final system qualification test, has been developed to fabricate a large-diameter, lightweight reflective-telescope system for a satellite observation. The telescope with 3 anastigmatic mirrors has an aperture of 700 mm and a total mass of 66 kg. We baked a silicon carbide substrate body from a carbon preform using a reaction sintering method, and tested the structural and chemical properties, surface conditions, and crystal structure of the body. We developed the polishing and coating methods considering the mechanical and chemical properties of the silicon carbide (SiC) body, and we utilized a chemical-vapor-deposition method to deposit a dense SiC thin film more than 170 ㎛ thick on the mirror's surface, to preserve a highly reflective surface with excellent optical performance. After we made the SiC mirrors, we measured the wave-front error for various optical fields by assembling and aligning three mirrors and support structures. We conducted major space-environment tests for the components and final assembly by temperature-cycling tests and vibration-shock tests, in accordance with the qualifications for the space and launch environment. We confirmed that the final telescope achieves all of the target performance criteria.

A compact imaging spectrometer (COMIS) was developed for a microsatellite STSAT-3. The satellite is now rescheduled to be launched into a low sun-synchronous Earth orbit (~700 km) by the end of 2012. Its main operational goal is the imaging of the Earth's surface and atmosphere with ground sampling distance of 27 m and 2 - 15 nm spectral resolution over visible and near infrared spectrum (0.4 - 1.05 ${\mu}m$). A flight model of COMIS was developed following an engineering model that had successfully demonstrated hyperspectral imaging capability and structural rigidity. In this paper we report the environmental test results of the flight model. The mechanical stiffness of the model was confirmed by a small shift of the natural frequency i.e., < 1% over 10 gRMS random vibration test. Electrical functions of the model were also tested without showing any anomalies during and after vacuum thermal cycling test with < $10^{-5}$ torr and $-30^{\circ}C\;-\;35^{\circ}C$. The imaging capability of the model, represented by a modulation transfer function (MTF) value at the Nyquist frequency, was also kept unvaried after all those environmental tests.

KOMPSAT-5(KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-5) has a benefit of continuously conducting its mission in all weather and even night by loading SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) payload, which is different from optical sensor of KOMPSAT-2 satellite. During IOT(In-Orbit Test) periods, SAR image calibration should be conducted through ground target of which location and RCS is pre-determined. Differently from the conventional corner reflector, active transponder has a capability to change its internal transfer gain and delay, which allows active transponder to be shown in a pixel of SAR image with very high radiance and virtual location. In this paper, the development of active transponder is presented from design to I&T(Integration and Test).

Present bonding methods which connect steel pipe and spread footing in pile foundation have been generally used. These methods however showed lots of difficulties in the quality control. A new bonding method, which is called 'Bolted Bonding Method(BBM)' , is developed. This method uses factory-made parts so that it may increase the degree of quality, and workability, and is being adopted in the Held concerned. The method is verified by the structural analysis and laboratory test and then a new design formula is proposed. In addition, a comparison test of the present methods and BBM are conducted to observe the applicability and economy of the latter. As results, it is observed that BBM shows 5 to 10 times faster in Held work and 9% to 50% cheaper in construction cost than the existing methods.
