COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) is a geostationary satellite and has been developing by KARI for communication and ocean and meteorological observations. It will be launched by ARIANE 5. Ka-band components are installed on South panel, where single solar array wing is mounted. Radiators, embedded heat pipes, external heat pipe, insulation blankets and heaters are utilized for the thermal control of the satellite. The Ka-band payload section is divided several areas based on unit operating temperature in order to optimize radiator area and maximize heat rejection capability. Other equipment for sensors and bus are installed on North panel. The ocean and meteorological sensors are installed on optical benches on the top floor to decouple thermally from the satellite. During the transfer orbit operation, satellite will be under severe thermal environments due to low dissipation of components, satellite attitudes and LAE(Liquid Apogee Engine) firing. This paper presents temperature and heater power prediction and validation of thermal control design during transfer orbit operation.

발사체 및 인공위성에서 발사시부터 우주까지 도달하는데 다양한 환경이 주어진다. 본 논문에서는 발사체의 단분리 및 페어링 분리시 생기는 충격 환경과 대기가 발사체 표면에 충돌하여 생기는 진동 환경에 대한 배터리 내부 변화를 분석한다. 환경시험을 반영한 전기적 모델링을 설계하고 전기적 파라미터를 기반으로 배터리 열해석과 실제 배터리팩 내부 열을 측정하여 비교 및 분석한다.

KARI plans to launch Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) to the Moon by December 2020 for the first step of the Korea Lunar Exploration Project. This orbiter will be launched to obtain lunar exploration technologies and science data in advance before launching a main orbiter and a lunar probe. This paper describes the verification of thermal design for the orbiter. It is exposed to more extreme thermal environment than that of low Earth orbit satellite due to the heavy infrared emission of the Moon. Accordingly, a thermal design considering this environment is needed to maintain the temperature of payloads and components equipped in the orbiter within operating temperature range in all orbits. We performed the thermal analysis for Earth-Moon transfer orbit, lunar mission orbit and lunar eclipse required for thermal design verification of the lunar orbiter. As a result, this thermal design met the design requirements.

In this paper, the structural analysis of the Geostationary Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2 (GEO-KOMPSAT-2) tubing system is discussed, and the structural integrity of the tubing system is assessed by comparative analysis with the results of overseas partner AIRBUS. Securing structural reliability of the tubing system is a very important key element of the propulsion system of the GEO-KOMPSAT-2 satellite. Therefore, FE modeling of the propulsion tubing was carried out directly using the CAE program, and structural analysis was performed to evaluate the stress state under launch conditions. Hoop stress, axial stress, bending stress, and torsion stress were calculated according to diverse load conditions by using pressure stress analysis, thruster alignment analysis, sine qualification load analysis, and random qualification load analysis. From the results, the Margin of Safety (MoS) of the tubing system is evaluated, and we can verify the structural integrity of the tubing system when subjected to various launch loads.

The lunar surface temperature is important as a environmental parameter for the thermal design of the lunar exploration vehicles such as orbital spacecraft, lander, and rovers. In this study, the temperature is numerically predicted through a simplified lumped system model for the energy conservation. The physical values required for the analysis of the energy equation are derived by considering the geometric shape, and the values presented in the previous research results. The areal specific heat, which is the most important thermo-physical property of the lumped system model, was extracted from the temperature measurements by the Diviner loaded on the LRO, and the value was predicted by calibration of the analytical model to the measurements. The predicted temperature distribution obtained through numerical integration has sufficient accuracy to be applied to the thermal design of the lunar exploration vehicles.

The geostationary satellite uses a liquid apogee engine, to obtain a required velocity increment to enter a geostationary orbit. However, as the liquid apogee engine operates in the vacuum, a considerable disbursement of exhaust plume flow, from the liquid apogee engine can trigger a backflow. As this backflow may possibly collide with the satellite directly, it can cause adverse effects such as surface contamination, thermal load, and altitude disturbance, that can generate performance reduction of the geostationary satellite. So, this study investigated exhaust plume behavior of 400 N grade liquid apogee engine numerically. To analyze exhaust plume behavior in vacuum condition, the DSMC (Direct Simulation Monte Carlo) method based on Boltzmann equation is used. As a result, thermal fluid characteristics of exhaust plume such as temperature and number density, are observed.

The COMS is a kind of geostationary multi-functional satellites with three different mission objectives. Two of them aim at earth observation and the COMS has two optical payloads according to those missions. The payloads are composed of a meteo imager and an ocean color imager, and their inherent characteristics require optimal interface design for their performance to be concurrently achieved. Therefore, various kinds of constraints are considered in their component accommodation on the COMS platform. This paper shows a general overview of the optical payload accommodation design and describes the design consideration to achieve the optimized performance from thermal and mechanical point of view.

Structural analysis of a satellite bus is carried out by using a finite element program NISA II. It is assumed that the bus is composed of bars, plates and shells made of CFRP composite materials and aluminum alloys. Displacements and stresses are calculated as static analysis under accelerated motion and frequencies and mode shapes are computed as dynamic analysis.

Thermal analysis has been performed to evaluate the thermal effect on composite antenna (Ka-band) structure in space environment. The concepts of thermal control are also presented to maintain the antenna components within respective temperature limits. A steady-state algorithm of I-DEAS' thermal analysis software was utilized to predict both maximum and minimum temperature, maximum gradient temperature, and temperature distribution on each antenna component.

도시지역에서의 지속적인 인구집중화 현상에 따라 도시주변에서는 도시역의 확대, 택지개발 등에 의한 지표면피복형태의 변화가 심각하게 이루어지고 있다. 오늘날 농촌지역에서도 도시화로 인하여 산림 및 경작지의 감소, 공업단지 조성 등과 같은 다양한 토지이용변화가 발생하게 되었다. 이는 농촌지역의 내ㆍ외적 경관변화 뿐만 아니라 복합적인 국지기후 변화 등도 함께 초래하게 되었는데 이러한 지표피복의 변화는 자연상태에서 열의 존재 방법에 큰 영향을 미친다.(중략)
