캔위성은 대기권 내에서 낙하하며 실제 위성을 모사하는 초소형위성으로 저렴한 비용과 용이한 접근성으로 인공위성 시스템 교육과 실험 등에 있어서 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 점을 착안하여 Argos는 촬영위성과 통신위성 2기로 구성된 캔위성 시스템을 개발하였다. Argos는 해당지역의 영상을 수집하고 위성 간 통신을 하는 것을 주 임무로 하였다. 또한 자세데이터, 위치데이터, 온도, 압력을 수집하고 지상국으로 전송 하는 것을 부 임무로 하였다. Argos는 실제 발사된 이후 제한적인 임무를 수행하였고, 위성간의 통신으로 임무데이터를 지상국으로 전송하였다. 본 논문에서는 광범위 데이터 수집의 역할을 하는 Argos의 개발과정과 운용결과를 소개하고자 한다.

2009년에 발사 예정인 통신해양기상위성은 우리나라 최초의 정지궤도 위성이며 해양기상관측위성이다. 해색관측에 있어서 정지제도 상에서 한반도와 주변해역을 관측하는 것은 시-공간해상력에서 향상된 해색위성자료를 제공해 줄 것이다. 이러한 정지궤도 해색위성 자료의 해양지리정보 활용은 적용의 범위와 GOCI 자료가 제공하는 정보의 해석적 내용에 있어서 기존의 극궤도 위성자료를 활용하는 것과는 다른 차원의 자료 구축 능력을 제시할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 정지궤도 해색위성에 탑재된 GOCI로부터 획득되는 영상정보를 통해 해양지리정보에 적용 가능한 분야를 해석하고 이를 적용하는 방안에 대해 제시하였다. 해양지리정보의 다양한 구축 자료와 개발된 해양공간정보시스템은 향후 해양위성자료의 실시간 분석결과를 반영하여 자료의 갱신과 추출 정보의 신속한 서비스를 구현할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 정보서비스의 효과는 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화와 기상이변 등의 해양기상재해에 보다 신속하게 대처하는 재해정보시스템의 구현에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) recommends the introduction of SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) in 2025, which provides GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) correction data and the ranging signal via GEO (geostationary earth orbit) satellites to GNSS users. In this paper, we present the basic design results of the satellite communication system RF link for the Korean SBAS systems, KASS (Korea Augmentation Satellite System) which is going on the development & implementation. KASS RF link was designed in consideration of both the C-band and Ku-band uplinks to meet the international standard requirements for the SBAS system, and identified the minimum EIRP and G/T performance of the KASS uplink station for each frequency band. These analysis results for the RF link design are expected to be used for an effective design of the subsystem specifications for KASS satellite communication system.

A UHF/VHF full-duplex communication using monopole and dipole antenna has been widely used for cube satellite applications. This kind of communication system requires a dedicated structure panel for antenna integration, which is the one of the disadvantages of the conventional communication system from the accommodation point of view considering the extremely limited volume of the cube satellite. In this study, to maximize the accommodation efficiency of the cube satellite, the commercial UHF half-duplex antenna combined with buck converter for communication modes transition has been considered in the communication system design. Its effectiveness has been verified through link budget analysis based on the antenna specifications and satellite's operation conditions. In addition, the antenna deployment mechanism for the synchronous release of multi-antennas has also been introduced.

Recently, the demands for the satellite broadband mobile communication services are increased. To provide these services, mobile satellite communication systems for the passengers or crews on the high-speed moving vehicles, are being developed for the last several years especially in the Europe and North America. However, most of these systems can provide only several hundred kbps of transmission rate and this is not enough performance to provide satellite internet service for the group users such as passengers on the high-speed train. Moreover, service availability with these systems is limited to be rather low because they don't have any countermeasure scheme for the N-LOS environment which happens often along the railway. This paper describes mobile broadband satellite communication system, which is on the development, to provide high data-rate internet services to the high-speed trains. This system is applied with the inter-networking scenarios of both satellite/terrestrial network and satellite/gap-filler network so that it can provide seamless service even in the train operating environment, and these inter-networking schemes result in high service availability. And this system also has the countermeasure schemes, such as upper layer FEC and antenna diversity, for the short fading which is occurred periodically on the railway due to the power supplying structures so that it can provide high speed internet services. Mobile DVB-S2 technology which is now being standardized in the DVB is used for the forward-link transmission and DVB-RCS for the return-link.

위성 탑재체 제조 산업은 기초 과학이 뒷받침된 초정밀 기계 공학, 첨단 전자 기술, 극한 환경 기술 및 신소재 공학 등과 같은 첨단 산업의 집합체라 할 수 있다. 현재 미국을 비롯한 서구 선진국에서 진행중인 탑재체 기술동향을 보면, 폭발적으로 증가하는 위성수에 따라 위성 궤도가 부족하고 주파수 자원이 고갈되고 있는 상황에서 통신 위성의 효율성과 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 신호처리 탑재(OBP) 위성과 통신기능을 포함한 다양한 기능을 가진 복합위성 개발이 진행되고 있으며 주파수 대역의 포화와 광대역 멀티미디어 서비스 제공 등을 위해 보다 높은 주파수의 준 밀리미터파 대역(Ka 대역) 위성 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 국내에서는 현재, 2008년 발사를 목표로 마이크로스위치 매트릭스(MSM)가 탑재되어 빔간 스위칭이 가능하도록 설계된 통신해양기상위성(COMS)용 통신 탑재체(SACOM) 개발이 진행중이다. 국내의 위성탑재용 RF 부품분야는 1990년부터 위성 중계기 시스템의 기본적인 설계, 조립, 종합화, 시험기술을 바탕으로 통신위성 탑재체용 초고주파 부품을 개발하여 왔으며, 2000년대에는 Ku 대역(12/14GHz) 및 Ka 대역(20/30GHz) 기술인증모델(EQM) RF 부품을 성공적으로 개발하였다. 이를 바탕으로 통신해양기상위성 통신탑재체용 Ka 대역 RF 부품이 현재 우주인증 모델(QM)의 개발이 완료되었으며 비행 모델(FM) 개발이 진행중이다.

A performance analysis of LEO Satellite Communication Service is being made in a variety of ways. In this paper we examined the variation of interference caused by the distribution of terminals within a cell and the maximum number of users according to the average distance between terminals, which had not been considered in former researches. Also we examined the interference made by sopt beam isolation value of some antennas(tapered-apertured antenna, gaussian antenna) which are used on LEO Satellite Communication Service Assigning this interference to the bandwidth of channels in LEO Satellite Communication Service, and with principal parameters(bandwidth, number of carrier) we made a performance analysis. And comparing tapered-apertured antenna with gaussian antenna we will find out which one is more effective and more suitable for interference.

Engineering qualification model payload for a communications and broadcasting satellite(CBS) was developed by ETRI from May, 2000 to April, 2003. For. the purpose of functional test and verification of the payload, a real-time hardware-in-the-loop(HITL) CBS simulator(CBSSIM) was also developed. We assumed that the spacecraft platform for the CBSSIM is a geostationary communication satellite using momentum bias three-axis stabilization control technique based on Koreasat. The payload hardware is combined with CBSSIM via Power, Command and Telemetry System(PCTS) of Electrical Ground Support Equipment(EGSE). CBSSIM is connected with PCTS by TCP/IP and the payload is combined with PCTS by MIL-STD-1553B protocol and DC harness. This simulator runs under the PC-based simulation environment with Windows 2000 operating system. The satellite commands from the operators are transferred to the payload or bus subsystem models through the real-time process block in the simulator. Design requirements of the CBSSIM are to operate in real-time and generate telemetry. CBSSIM provides various graphic monitoring interfaces and control functions and supports both pre-launch and after-launch of a communication satellite system. In this paper, the HITL simulator system including CBSSIM, communications payload and PCTS as the medium of interface between CBSSIM and communications payload will be described in aspects of the system architecture, spacecraft models, and simulator operation environment.
