최근 5년 사이의 급속한 정보통신의 발전과 전자소자의 고집적화, 소형화는 전자장비 내부의 열부하 증가를 초래하고 있다. 이에 효과적으로 열을 제거하는 기술개발 요구로 다양한 이상 열전달 시스템(two-phase systems)이 연구되고 있다. CPL(Capillary Pumped Loop) 기술은 1960년대 미국, 구소련에서 우주항공분야의 전자장비 온도제어 시스템으로 주로 통신위성 또는 우주선의 전자장비 냉각기술의 한 방법으로 사용되어 왔으며 NASA Lewis Research Center의 Stenger에 의해 처음 제안되었다.(중략)

우리나라 최초의 다목적 실용위성인 아리랑 1호는 지난 2003년 2월 21일부로 목표 하였던 임무운영기간 3년을 완수하였으며, 현재는 연장 운영을 하고 있다. 당초 목표했던 3년의 임무 수명을 뛰어 넘어 향후 2∼3년은 더 운영할 수 것으로 예측하고 있다. 따라서 위성체의 각 서브시스템의 상황을 분석하고 발생한 문제에 대해 신속히 대처하는 것이 중요하다. 아리랑 1호는 크게 탑재체, 자세제어계(AOCS), 전력계(EPS), 추진계(PS), 열제어계(TCS), 원격측정명령계(TC&R)의 Subsystem으로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 발사부터 목표 임무운영기간까지 서브시스템 중 원격측정명령계의 상태를 분석 정리하였으며, 초과운영에 있는 현 시점의 상태를 정리하였다.

Propulsion subsystem transfers KOMPSAT into mission orbit and controls its attitude. Design factor consists of structure safety, electrical circuit design, consumable power estimation of thermal hardwares, damping device design of fuel transient pressure, and system configuration design by considering plume effect from thruster firing. System level analysis should be performed for verification of system design under launch vehicle and orbital environment. Electrical functional test of thermal control hardware, proof pressure test, cleanliness verification test, and internal/external leakage test of fuel feeding system should be carried out for performance estimation of propulsion system. Design and assembly process of propulsion subsystem was depicted and reliability of system was verified by test analysis in this paper.

An 1 lbf of NASA standard monopropellant thruster, MRE-1, is used for KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite) which is launched in 2006 and provides reliable and cost-effective means for attitude and maneuvering control system. The monopropellant thruster obtains required thrust by thermal decomposition process of propellant through catalyst bed. During firing, the decomposition plays a role of a heat source that may occur an excessive radiation heat transfer to peripheral structures and electronics in relatively low temperature condition.Therefore, the radiation heat shield is needed to prevent the critical radiative heat exchange between thruster and satellite during firing. This paper summarizes an overall development process of radiation heat shield from the design engineering up to the manufacturing.

The wall of thermal vacuum chamber which is used for the satellite thermal balance test doesn't absorb satellite's IR emission perfectly and reflects some part of that. It is estimated that small thermal vacuum chamber has relatively larger wall effect than the big one. The small thermal vacuum chamber is required for the small satellite test to reduce the test cost. A quantitative analysis was carried out to investigate the chamber wall effect. As a result, temperature errors caused by chamber wall effect was calculated, and the temperature data acquired in the thermal balance test have been compensated. By defining the optimized area ratio between chamber surface and satellite surface area, the baseline to be able to determine the minimum size of thermal vacuum chamber was established to minimize the wall effect. Also, theoretical analysis about transparent material coating which can reduce the chamber wall effect is conducted.

Melting and icing process of the PCMTCU(Phase Change Material Thermal Control Unit) installed on the NEXTSat-2, which is scheduled to be launched in the second half, was investigated through the results of satellite-level TVT(Thermal Vacuum Test). As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the latent heat of PCM contributes to the temperature stabilization of the heating components. The thermal model for numerical analysis of the PCMTCU was correlated to acquire a reasonable degree of accuracy using the collected temperature measurements during TVT. The periodic temperature variation of the PCMTCU in normal on-orbit operation was predicted with the correlated thermal model, and the quantitative contribution of the PCM on the thermal energy management was evaluated with the liquid fraction. It will receive flight telemetry from the NEXTSat-2 after the launch, and complete the space verification of the PCMTCU.

This paper describes the structural strength test technique and the results for cylindrical supersonic vehicle subjected to both aerodynamic load and thermal load. The special positioning system using spring links was designed to float, support and restrain the test airframe during the test and the down-time. The hydraulic system and the electric heating system were utilized to apply the aerodynamic load and the thermal load to the test airframe together. Particularly, several hundreds of infrared quartz lamps were used for the heating system, and the thermal test conditions were successfully simulated. The test results showed that this kind of high temperature test is adequate to verify the structure integrity and produce useful engineering data which is necessary for the possible structural modification under thermal environments.

On-board IR calibration device has been developed for calibration of spaceborne image sensor. It is composed of a blackbody to provide two different radiance temperatures, tilt mirror with a function of stow and deploy to view the blackbody during the calibration and on-board calibration control unit to control the function of the blackbody and tilt mirror.

위성의 상태를 모니터링하고 임무수행 준비 및 결과를 분석하기 위해 위성에서는 주기적으로 텔레메트리 프레임을 생성하여 지상으로 전송한다. 텔레메트리 프레임을 통해 많은 데이터가 전송될수록 정확한 위성의 상태 분석이 가능하고 위성 운용을 용이하게 할 수 있다. 그러나 위성에서 지상으로 전송할 수 있는 텔레메트리의 전송속도는 하드웨어의 성능에 따라 제한되며, 특히 저궤도 위성의 경우에는 지상과 교신이 가능한 시간이 짧다는 제약으로 인해 한정된 시간 안에 정해진 전송속도로 보낼 수 있는 데이터의 양에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 제약조건 하에서 최대한 많은 정보를 효율적으로 전송할 수 있도록 위성의 텔레메트리를 생성할 때 비트 정보들을 모아 하나의 바이트로 묶어서 텔레메트리 크기를 최소화하는 방법을 이용한다. 위성비행소프트웨어는 태스크 스케쥴링, 열제어, 전력제어, 자세제어, 원격명령처리, 원격측정데이터 처리 등의 기능별로 모듈화 되어있다. 각 모듈마다 텔레메트리로 전송되는 데이터들이 존재하고 비트 정보들을 모으는 기능도 해당하는 모듈에서 각각 담당한다. 따라서 각 모듈들이 독립적이지 못하고 텔레메트리 처리를 담당하는 모듈과 다른 모듈들 간의 커플링(coupling)이 존재하게 되어 하나의 텔레메트리 데이터 변경이 여러 모듈에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 모듈들 간의 커플링을 최소화하고 텔레메트리의 변경사항이 위성비행소프트웨어 코드 자체에는 영향을 주지 않도록 하기위한 데이터베이스 테이블을 이용한 텔레메트리 처리 방안에 대하여 설명한다.
