과학위성 1호에는 원자외선 분광기를 포함한 다섯 개의 탑재체가 있다. MMS(Mass Memory System)는 이들 탑재체가 수집한 데이터를 대용량 메모리에 저장한 후 지상국으로 보내는 역할을 하며 우주방사선에 의한 메모리 데이터의 오류와 무선 채널을 통한 Downlink 상에서 발생하는 오류를 최소화하기 위해서 소프트웨어적으로 에러를 정정할 수 있는 Reed-Solomon Code를 사용 하였다. 탑재체의 데이터를 저장하기 위한 대용량 메모리는 총 2Gbits로써 8M SRAM, 64M SDRAM, 256M SDRAM의 세 가지로 구성되어 있으며 메모리 여러 개를 하나의 모듈로 만들고 이 모듈이 층으로 쌓여서 MMS에 탑재되어 있다. SRAM에 비해서 집적도가 매우 높은 SDRAM은 공간을 적게 차지하는 장점은 있지만 우주용이 아니므로 그 안정성을 보장할 수 없으므로 우리별 3호에서 성능이 입증된 SRAM과 같이 탑재되었다. 본 연구에서는 MMS의 구조, 동작모드, Spec 및 연구 개발 내용을 소개한다.

COSPAS-SARSAT is the search and rescue system for providing a distress alarm and a position identification using an international satellite and ground facilities. Aviators, mariners and land users worldwide are equipped with COSPAS-SARSAT distress beacons, which could help save their in emergency situations anywhere in the world. As the existing COSPAS-SARSAT system is generally operated by LEO(Low-altitude Earth Orbit) Satellite System, the time from the distress beacon to the rescue is more than 1 hour with average and the accuracy of the distress location is about 5 Km. Therefore, in order to overcome this problem, the development for the next generation SAR(search and rescue) system which uses the MEO(middle-altitude Earth Orbit) satellites is going on the Galileo project. EU is developing this project for the full operation capability in 2011, and this project will have SAR payloads and support to the Search and Rescue service-herein called SAR/Galileo. SAR/Galileo will have the performance of a few meter accuracy, within 10 minutes to rescue from reception of distress messages, and Return Link Service(from the SAR operator to the distress emitting beacon), thereby facilitating more efficient rescue operations and helping to reduce the rate of false alerts. As the disaster is larger every year, the ground station, MEOLUT for next generation ASR/Galileo is urgently needed for the lifesaving for the larger disaster, the research for beacon and the ground station such as MEOLUT for introducing the next generation SAR/Galileo in Korea is very timely and is important. This paper presents the procedures and the strategies for the participation, the area to develop reasonably, and the propulsion organization for developing the SAR/Galileo ground system in Korea.

This paper deals with finite element analysis for free vibration and forced sinusoidal vibration of Ka- and Ku- band antenna structures using MSC/NASTRAN. The structures are designed to satisfy minimum resonance frequency requirement in order to decouple the dynamic interaction of the satellite antenna with the spacecraft bus structure. The large mass method was utilized to analyze output acceleration according to the forced sinusoidal vibration inputs in X-, Y- and Z- directions. The analysis results can also be used thor verification experimental planning of satellite antenna.

인공위성의 전기적 호환성 해석은 인공위성의 각 유닛들에서 발생할 수 있는 잡음이 인공위성의 정상 동작에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 그 영향을 최소로 만들 수 있는 방안을 연구하기 위해 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 인공위성의 탑제컴퓨터와 탑제체 간의 인터페이스에서 전기 신호의 호환성 해석, Harness의 호환성 해석 그리고 radiation 해석이 이루어졌다. 인공위성의 탑제컴퓨터와 탑제체 간의 인터페이스에서 전기 신호의 호환성 해석은 전기 신호의 전압 레벨이 전압 히스테리시스의 경계 영역에서 충분한 여유를 가지고 있는지 판단하기 위해 필요하다. 전기 신호에 충분한 여유분이 없는 경우 여유분을 증가시키기 위한 방법이 제안되었으며 제안된 방법에 의해 인터페이스의 올바른 동작에 충분한 여유분이 생겼음이 시뮬레이션 결과에 나타났다. Harness의 호환성 해석은 다목적실용위성 2호에 사용된 Harness에 대한 conductive epoxy potting의 전도도를 검증하기 위해 이루어졌다. 본 논문에서는 전송 임피던스 측정 방법을 이용하여 epoxy potting의 전도성이 모든 주파수 영역에서 인공위성의 요구사항에 만족함을 보여준다. Radiation 해석은 인공위성 시스템의 radiated emission(RE)을 추정하고 S-band 수신기와 GPS 안테나와 같은 수신단에 대한 상호간섭에 의한 위험도를 분석하기 위해 필요하다. RF 수신기의 수신 대역에서 발생한 잡음의 영향으로 신호대잡음비가 허용수치이하로 감소하여 위성 명령을 수신하는 동작에 지장을 초래할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 RF 수신단에 가장 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 star tracker의 RE test 결과를 분석하여 test 결과가 GPS 수신기와 S-band 수신기의 각각의 성능에 적합한지 해석하였다. 또한 solar array regulator의 스윗칭에 의해 발생되는 radiation이 위성 구조체에 미치는 영향을 해석하고 시뮬레이션 하였다.

쉘은 곡률을 가지는 얇은 구조물로 정의된다. 자동차를 비롯하여 항공기, 우주 발사체, 인공위성, 선박 등의 운송수단과 건축물의 돔(done)과 같이 공간을 효율적으로 활용하고 동시에 경량화를 확보할 필요가 있는 경우에 쉘은 널리 사용되는 구조물이다. 쉘 이론은 1960년대까지는 전문가의 영역에 속해 있는 학문이었고 구조역학을 전공한 사람들에게도 다루기 어 려운 구조물로 인식되어 왔다. 실제 다양한 쉘의 거동은 역학과 수학의 폭넓은 지식을 요구하고 학문으로서도 그 속에서 평생을 보낼 만큼 매력적이고 어려운 부분들을 포함하고 있다고 생각된다.(중략)

The software-based satellite simulator has been developed from the start of the project to resolve the restriction and limitation of using hardware-based software development platform. It enables the development of flight software to be performed continuously since initial phase. The satellite simulator emulates the on-board computer, I/O modules, electronics and payloads, and it can be easily adapted and changed on hardware configuration change. It supports the debugging and test facilities for software engineers to develop flight software. Also the flight software can be loaded without any modification and can be executed as faster than real-time. This paper presents the architecture and design of software-based GEO satellite simulator which has hot-standby redundancy mechanism, and flight software development and test under this environment.

MEMS solid thruster module is composed of solid thruster and its control board. It was developed for the purpose of an academic research. Therefore, thermo-mechanical design and verification for space usage were not considered in the design phase. To mount it on a cube satellite without any design modification, technical efforts at the system level structure design is required. In this study, we proposed a structural design concept to mount the MEMS thruster module by using brackets for guaranteeing structure safety under launch loads and easier mating and de-mating of MEMS thruster module during test phase. The effectiveness of the design has been verified through structural analysis and vibration test. In addition, electrical connection method using spring pins between MEMS thruster and control board is effective for guaranteeing the structural safety under launch vibration loads.

Low resolution spectroscopic observations of leo-stationary satellites over the Korean peninsula have been carried out at the KyungHee Optical Satellite Observing Facility (KOSOF) with a 40cm telescope. We have observed 9 telecommunication satellites and 1 weather satellite of 6 countries. The obtained spectral data showed that satellites could be classified and grouped with similar basic spectral feature. We divided the 10 satellites into 4 groups based on spectral slop and reflectance. It is suggested that the material types of the satellites can be determined through spectral comparisons with the ground laboratory data. We will continuously observe additional geo-stationary satellites for the accurate classification of spectral features.

Most Nanosatellites are launched in nanosatellite deployers. Nanosatellites in the deployer are turned off during launch, and they start boot sequence after deploying at their mission orbit. For this reason, nanosatellites must have deployment switch. Most of the nanosatellite deployment switch has two part, first is electric switch to boot the satellite system and second is mechanical assembly to push the switch. In most cases, electric switches are installed in the satellite main body, and the switch operations are translated via the mechanical assembly. These implementations are mechanically complicated and hard to guarantee the appropriate operation without the problems due to friction between pusher and satellite structure. This paper proposes the another implementation method of deployment switch for nanosatellites by installing the electric switch outside the main body without any kind of mechanical parts.

The camera electronics in the KOMPSAT-3 payload provides the several control clocks in order to move the charges, which are converted from the light in the pixel, in the vertical and horizontal direction. Generally, the control clocks depend on the CCD internal design in the system. The KOMPSAT-3 payload uses the CCD controlled by 3-phase vertical clocks and 4-phase timing. The camera generates the various clocks such as the vertical clocks, the horizontal clocks, the summing clocks, the reset clocks and so on. The vertical clocks are deeply related to the camera performance and synchronized with satellite scan-rate even though they are relatively slow. Also, it gives the horizontal clocks without distortion under the very fast pixel-rate. This paper shows the design and simulation of the CCD clocks driver for the KOMPSAT-3 payload.
