It is well known that point positioning using a C/A-code receiver is severely biased by errors in pseudorange. This paper shows the procedures of quantitive analysis for several error elements and that some methods to monitor SA(selective availability) of witch process is not opened are proposed. It is possible to verify the effects of SA in the Doppler shift and receiver clock drift variation. Easy methods to reduce SA effects are to fit second order polynomials for the one and a linear function for the other. With periodic autocorrelation functions. SA effects are analyzed and first order Gauss-Markov process parameters are decided.

CubeSat is a satellite platform that is widely used not only for earth observation but also for space exploration. CubeSat is also used in magnetic field investigation missions to observe space physics phenomena with various shape configurations of magnetometer instrument unit. In case of magnetic field measurement, the magnetometer instrument should be far away from the satellite body to minimize the magnetic disturbances from satellites. But the accommodation setting of the magnetometer instrument is limited due to the volume constraint of small satellites like a CubeSat. In this paper, we investigated that the magnetic field interference generated by the cube satellite was analyzed how much it can affect the reliability of magnetic field measurement. For this analysis, we used a reaction wheel and Torque rods which have relatively high-power consumption as major noise sources. The magnetic dipole moment of these parts was derived by the data sheet of the manufacturer. We have been confirmed that the effect of the residual moment of the magnetic torque located in the middle of the 3U cube satellite can reach 36,000 nT from the outermost end of the body of the CubeSat in a space without an external magnetic field. In the case of accurate magnetic field measurements of less than 1 nT, we found that the magnetometer should be at least 0.6 m away from the CubeSat body. We expect that this analysis method will be an important role of a magnetic cleanliness analysis when designing a CubeSat to carry out a magnetic field measurement.

In this paper, we introduce a concept of HEMP systems and analyze a shielding effectiveness by varying placements of the antenna elements. Maxwell's equations for the high frequency of the EMP is represented in the LOS. In order to investigate the effects of electromagnetic attenuations, a shielding room was constructed and employed to obtain measured data. Shielding effects were measured by changing frequency and the distance of receiving antenna. Each measured value was compared to U.S. standard and measuring method was simplified. shielding effects were measured by three different conditions of shielding room. Find the difference between forward measurement and reverse measurement and factors which affects the measurement in shielding room.

In order to reduce the spread of infection due to COVID-19, South Korea has established a four-step social distancing standard and implemented it by changing the steps based on the rate of confirmed cases. The implementation of social distancing brought about a change in the amount of activity of citizens by limiting social contact such as movement and gathering of people. One of the data that can intuitively confirm this is Night Time Light (NTL). NTL is a variable that can measure the size of the national economy measured using lights captured by satellites, and can be used to understand people's social activities during the night. The NTL visible data is obtained via the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day-Night Band (DNB) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellite. 1023 of Suomi data from 1 January 2019 until 26 October 2021 were collected to generate time series of NTL radiance change over Seoul to analyze the correlation with social distancing policy. The results show that implementing the level of social distancing generally decreased the NTL radiance both in spatial disparities and temporal patterns. The higher level of policy, limiting human activities combined with the low number of people who have been vaccinated and the closure of various facilities. Because of social distancing, the differences in human activities affected the nighttime light during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in Seoul, South Korea. Therefore, this study can be used as a reference for the government in evaluating and improving policies related to efforts reducing the transmission of COVID-19.

The stability of DGPS signal in the DGPS service area was measured and the service availability according to the receiving signal strength was analyzed in this paper. Based on the effects of radio wave propagation in the seasons of winter and summer, daytime and night, the method to provide the DGPS service coverage was presented in this paper. The signal's strength of DGPS radio wave were measured at a constant distance from the DGPS reference station during a constant period. The propagation of DGPS radio wave is affected by status of ground conductivity, so the DGPS service area is dependant on the ground conductivity. To provide the stable service coverage, it is necessary to apply the adaptive power control for receiving signal's variations and the antenna design for alleviation of high elevation's radiation.

Pseudorange is the pseudo distance between a GPS satellite and a GPS receiver to determine the receiver's position. The closer the distance between jammer and victim receiver is, the more effective a repeat-back jamming is. In this letter, we analyze the pseudorange difference between adjacent GPS receivers using real GPS pseudorange data to understand the effects by the repeat-back jamming.

대한민국 달탐사 시험용 궤도선은 2020년 말에 발사를 예정으로 위성개발이 진행되고 있다. KPLO(Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter) 라고 명명된 달 궤도선에는 6개의 탑재체가 있으며, 경희대학교 우주탐사학과에서는 달 주위 공간 및 달 표면의 이상 자기장 영역을 관측하는 탑재체 (KMAG: Kplo MAGnetometer)를 개발하고 있다. 자기장센서는 3축 플럭스게이트 센서를 사용하며 약 0.2nT 이하의 분해능을 가지고 있다. 측정주기는 10Hz이며 총 무게는 3.5kg 이다. 1.2m 길이의 붐(Boom) 구조물 내부에 3개의 자기장 센서들을 설치하였으며 가능한 위성체로부터 거리를 두고 자기장을 측정하는 구조로 구성하였다. 시험모델 개발을 완료하고, 개발된 탑제체의 환경시험결과와 성능시험결과 요구조건에 부합되는 결과를 얻었다.

광역보정시스템은 기존의 NDGPS 방식과 달리 GPS 측정치 오차를 기준국을 기준으로 스칼라량으로 계산하지 않고, 전리층 지연 오차의 경우 전리층 분포 맵을 생성하고 위성관련오차의 경우 4차원(x, y, z, t) 보정정보를 생성하게 된다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 광역보정시스템은 기존의 NDGPS 방식보다 적은 수의 기준국으로 보다 넓은 지역을 커버할 수 있고 광역보정사용자는 기준국과의 거리와 관계 없이 균일하고 우수한 수준의 보정정보 및 무결성 정보를 제공받을 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 광역보정시스템 구축에 필요한 핵심 기술 중 하나인 전리층 지연 오차 추정 알고리듬에 대해 설명하였다. 기준국 측정치를 이용해 전리층 분포 맵을 생성하기 위해 핵심적인 단계인 위성 및 기준국 수신기 IFB(Inter-Frequency Bias) 제거 방법에 대해서 설명하고 격자 알고리듬을 활용한 전리층 맵 생성방법에 대해서 설명하고 그 결과를 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

We developed a time comparison system using the ranging signal of the geostationary meteorological satellite(GMS). By using the system time comparison between the KRISS(Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science) cesium atomic clock and the GMS ranging signal has been carried out and the results have shown that the precision of time comparison at KRISS is about 10 ns. For the more accurate measurements we calibrated the receiver delay time between KRISS receiver and CRL(Communications Research Laboratory) receiver by using the portable GMS receiver.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) developed the Geochang satellite laser ranging (SLR) system for the scientific research on the space geodesy as well as for the national space missions including precise orbit determination and space surveillance. The operation system was developed based on the server-client communication structure, which controls the SLR subsystems, provides manual and automatic observation modes based on the observation algorithm, generates the range data between satellites and SLR stations, and carry out the post-processing to remove noises. In this study, we analyzed the requirements of operation system, and presented the development environments, the software structure and the observation algorithm, for the server-client communications. We also obtained laser ranging data for the ground target and the space geodetic satellite, and then analyzed the ranging precision between the Geochang SLR station and the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) network stations, in order to verify the operation system.
