This paper describes the devlopment and implementation for the KOMPSAT-1 scheduling & automatic command plan generator(KSCG). Some problems in mission planning and command planning had occurred using the mission & command planning s/w in MAPS(Missin Analysis and Planning Subsystem) during the LEOP(Launch & Early Orbit Phase) & early normal mission phase due to lots of manual input process and non-automatic process. Therefore, the more mission operations for KOMPSAT-1. In order to prevent the development of new one(KSCG) which should reduce the manual process and generate automatically the command plan has been needed. As a result, the mission operations of KOMPSAT-1 has greatly became stable and more effient.

A computational analysis of nozzle flow is conducted to investigate effects of the flight altitude on thrust performance. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation with k-${\omega}$ SST(Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model is employed to simulate the nozzle flow in various altitude conditions, where continuum mechanics is to be valid. Thrust performance of the nozzle is exceedingly poor upto 10 km of flight altitude because of the irreversible phenomena such as shock and/or flow separation occurring inside the nozzle, whereas it is restored to the nominal value as the altitude is attained higher than 30 km.

In order to improve the capability of mission flight of tiltrotor UAV that has been developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute, a simulation study on the formation flight of autonomous control 5 level has been performed. The formation flight is based on the centralized method with leader and follower airplanes. The formation flight controller was verified through numerical simulation with 3 followers and hardware-in-the loop simulation with 1 follower. This paper describes controller design methods, hardware-in-the-looped simulation test, and performance verification using simulation.

This paper deals with attitude control design for a thruster system which is mainly used as a control system of space vehicles. Attitude controllers are designed based on a simple blowing-down thruster system structure. In order to consider severe time-delay effects of the thruster system during controller design, the control design problem is defined based on the corresponding limit cycle analysis. Optimal roll controllers and optimal pitch/yaw controllers are resulted from co-evolutionary optimum design processes for each flight phase. The control performances are verified by computer simulations.

In this paper, an impulsive rendezvous problem by using minimum energy of spacecraft in different orbits is addressed. In particular, the orbits considered in this paper are the general orbits including the elliptic orbit, while most of the orbits considered in the literature have been restricted within co-planar or circular orbits. The constraints for solving this optimization problem are the Kepler's equation formulated with the universal variable, and the final position and velocity of two spacecraft. Also, the Lagrange coefficients, sometimes called as f and g solution, are used to describe the orbit transfer. The proposed method technique is demonstrated through numerical simulation by considering the minimum energy, and both the minimum energy and the wait time, respectively. Finally, it is also verified by comparing with the Hohmann transfer known as the minimum energy trajectory. Although a closed-form solution cannot be obtained, it shows that the suggested technique can provide a new insight to solve various orbital transfer problems.

General unmaned airship, in use of aviation photography, needs both airship -controller and camera-controller who work together in harmony. In oder to reduce this manpower and get the good Geographical Information Systems(GIS) data, it is necessary to use a autopilot controller which guides a exact path lines. This paper presents the autopilot control law base on classical PID control. Moreover, this paper shows the result of flight test, the procedure of gain tuning and LOS guidance algorism that is reduce a tracking error.

Nowadays, many kinds of research for airship are studying with increasing of interests of airship. But these are far from perfect. The data acquisition from the actual flight test has lots of difficulties because of the characteristics from the slow dynamic response and high sensitivity for external environment. In this paper, through the actual flight test, appropriateness of the mathematical dynamic model applied here was verified by comparing the test data with simulation data in same control conditions.

This study suggests the ways of improving the training and licensing system of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are drawing attention as a future growth industry, through interviews with domestic experts and examples from advanced countries. In order to improve the system, it was suggested to establish a clear concept about unmanned aerial vehicle pilot, to implement a system to obtain and maintain the UAV pilot license, to develop and supply standard textbooks for acquiring certification, and to prepare certification standards for flight simulators.

Spherical Flying Machine, unlike conventional aircraft structure, is protected by circular frame. This battery-operated propeller machine, which can do vertical take-off and hovering, is under development for indoor and outdoor operation and dubbed as Flying Ball in KARI. In the future, autonomous air vehicle will be constructed for reconnaissance and surveillance application.

MCM-ERC32 는 우주 환경에서 동작하는 시스템에 사용할 목적으로 유럽에서 개발된 집약 프로세서 모듈이다. MCM (Multi Chip Module)은 크게 ERC32 single chip 과 VASI (Very Advanced Sparc Interface) 및 6MByte 의 SRAM, 32MByte 의 DRAM 으로 구성되어 있다. VASI 의 경우 각종 I/O 처리 및 timer 의 기능을 수행하며 특히 VASI RTC 의 경우 VASI cycle, slot 을 이용하여 다양한 형태의 timer 구현이 가능하다. Timer 의 경우 각종 태스크의 관리와 스케줄링에 사용되는 가장 기본적이며 매우 중요한 요소이다. 위성의 고유 시간 역시 timer 를 활용하여 설계하게 되는데 이 부분이 잘 구현 되어야 정확한 임무 수행 및 위성의 제어가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 VASI RTC 의 구조와 기능에 대해 설명하고 이를 위성의 고유 시간 운영에 적용하는 방법에 대해 다루도록 하겠다.
