Like other computer vision research trends, research using satellite images was able to achieve rapid growth with the development of GPU-based computer computing capabilities and deep learning methodologies related to image processing. As a result, satellite images are being used in various fields, and the number of studies on how to use satellite images is increasing. Therefore, in this paper, we will introduce the field of research and utilization of satellite images and datasets that can be used for research using satellite images. First, studies using satellite images were collected and classified according to the research method. It was largely classified into a Regression-based Approach and a Classification-based Approach, and the papers used by other methods were summarized. Next, the datasets used in studies using satellite images were summarized. This study proposes information on datasets and methods of use in research. In addition, it introduces how to organize and utilize domestic satellite image datasets that were recently opened by AI hub. In addition, I would like to briefly examine the limitations of satellite image-related research and future trends.

This paper we introduce operated public test-bed satellite system configuration for satellite communications and usage for services via COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite). According to trial public test-bed operation, the broadband multimedia services are expected to be available at the next generation VSAT services due to the increasing of Ka-band utilization. In addition, UHD broadcasting services via satellite is expected to improve the universal accessibility of broadcast services.

Telemetry, satellite event and error information are used to check the satellite status in ground station. Different from telemetry which only informs the parameter value, event and error gives explicit information of a certain operation or status. Event also contains ground action information because every command execution is logged as event. Currently, those information is gathered and applied only for monitoring of the satellite. However, the load of the operation is getting grown because of the excessively increased information of the satellite with the number of satellite increasement. Also, the process of reporting problem to developer (or an expert) induce time delay for satellites fault management. In this paper, we propose a satellite operation assistant system which collects event sequence and stores in different group by its feature, and then recommends or executes an appropriate action for the identified abnormal state. This system is applicable to on board system for resolving LEO-satellite autonomous fault situation since is has limited contact time.

In recent space industry, It has become a major trend to launch lunar exploration satellites to extend activities in the deep space environment. In this paper, a link budget analysis is carried out for the lunar exploration satellite. One of the major difference between the lunar satellite and LEO spacecraft lies in the orbit parameters. The vast distance between spacecraft and the Earth station imposes a challenging task for the spacecraft designers in terms of achieving stable communication link budget. The satellite tool kit software has been adopted to simulate the lunar exploring satellite. The relative distance between the spacecraft and the ground stations are tracked and the communication link budget is calculated accordingly.

UWB(Ultra Wide Band) system can transmits information with low power but it can achieve high transmission rate using broad frequency bands. Using CR(Cognitive Radio) technology, we can use and share frequency efficiently without interfere to satellite communication system. However, passive characteristics of satellite receiver makes it hard to implement. This paper propose additional structure of satellite receiver which add amplifier and antenna to local oscillator. Proposing structure emits satellite receiver's local oscillator signal and UWB terminal detects it by energy detection. We can find out the possibility of co-existence of UWB system and satellite communication system through the simulation result.

Ever since high resolution satellites were launched, high-resolution satellite images have been utilized in many areas. This paper proposed methods of generating simulated satellite image using DEM(Digital Elevation Model) and digital image such as aerial photograph. There are two methods proposed in the paper: one is Direct-Indirect method and the other Indirect-Indirect, method. It is assumed that satellite attitude is not changing and perspective center is moving in the direction of flight while image is captured. The proposed methods were implemented with aerial photograph, DEM data, arbitrary orbit parameters and attitude parameters of high resolution satellite image under generation. Furthermore, for the stereo viewing, different orientation parameters and perspective center were tested for generating simulated satellite image. In addition, the quality and accuracy of the simulated satellite image generated by the proposed methods were analyzed.

In this paper, we present the compatibility study results including the frequency sharing criteria between new allocation to maritime mobile satellite service and Earth exploration satellite service in the 7/8 GHz. The transmitting Earths station of MMSS in the 8025 - 8400 MHz band would make harmful interference to the receiving Earth station of EESS operating in the same frequency band. In order to ensure the compatibility with EESS, the separation distance is provided as a frequency sharing criteria. The republic of Korea has a plan to launch the geostationary satellite around 2017 and EESS Earth station will be operated in 8025 - 8400 MHz band. Therefore, we calculate the interference levels and separation distance using the system parameters of two Earth station systems. As results of the study, the separation distances for LOS path and Non-LOS path due to the geographical characteristics are shown around 471 km and 200 km, respectively.
