Fire is one of important checkpoints in crewed exploration systems, where men inhabit in space. In space, astronaut can't escape from fire out of a spacecraft and not expect any help of fire fighters, either. Accordingly, the best way to stand against fire is to prevent it. But, when fire occurs in space, flame behaviors are quite different from those observed on earth because of micro- or zero-gravity in space. The present paper introduces major research results on flame behaviors under microgravity and fire prevention, detection, and suppression in crewed exploration spacecrafts and international space station based on NASA's FPDS research program.

최근 GIS 시스템, 위성사진, 원격 탐사 시스템과 같은 다양한 응용 시스템으로부터 수집된 방대한 양의 공간 데이터에서 지식을 발견하는 공간 데이터 마이닝에 대한 관심이 더욱 높아지고 있다. 기존의 공간 데이터마이닝에 대한 연구들은 방대한 비공간 데이터들의 지식을 효율적으로 탐사하고자 하였다. 그러나 기존의 시스템은 발견된 지식의 효과성을 보장하지 못하는 문제점을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문은 공간 데이터 타입을 포함하는 대용량의 데이터들로부터 효과성을 보장하는 특성화 지식 탐사시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 공간 특성화 지식 탐사시스템은 밀도 기반의 클러스터링 기법을 적용하여 탐사된 특성화 지식의 효과성을 높였다.

Recently, there has been a tendency to lead the private sector in the launch vehicle market, and as the market has become saturated, efforts are being made to reduce the launch cost. Advanced countries in space development have promoted manned long-range space exploration plans. As oxygen/methane is more efficient, lower cost, and eco-friendly than typical propellants, and can be produced locally on an alien planet, it is the most suitable next-generation propellant to meet this trend. Now methane engine development is accelerating due to changes in international conditions and corporate environment. It is also expected to develop a methane engine in order to survive in this global trend and to keep up with the launch vehicle market in the future.

Space exploration is an area where international cooperation takes place more actively than any other space activities such as Earth observation, communication and navigation. This is because a country cannot afford a huge budget to have full infrastructure for deep space exploration, such as a heavy launch vehicle, communication and energy infrastructure, and human habitats, and has learned that it is not sustainable. Korea expressed its willingness to join humanity's epic exploration journey by signing the Artemis Accords in 2021 and launching Danuri lunar orbiter in 2022. The beginning of space exploration means that Korea's space activities have expanded beyond the stage of focusing only on technology development to set norms necessary to accompany other countries and cooperate diplomatically to solve exposed problems. This paper analyzed European space policy and space exploration, which are most actively participating in the Artemis Program and exerting diplomatic power in the space field, from the perspective of science and technology diplomacy. The suggestions for Korea's space exploration strategy from the perspective of science and technology diplomacy were drawn by examining the international cooperation strategies in Europe's space activities ranging from space policy, space strategy, and space exploration program to project units.

Self-potential, VLF-EM and dipole-dipole resistivity methods have been widely used for exploration of conductive sulfide ore deposit, because of the convenience and low cost of field work and the reliability of their results. The geophysical responses for vein-type sulfide outcrop of Changkoom mine located in Bukwi-Myon, Jinan-Gun, Chollabuk-Do were investigated and compared with its drilling results. The geology around the survey area is composed of acidic volcanics and sediments of Yuchon Group. And sulfides bearing pyrite, pyrrotite, galena etc. are deposited in disseminated or vein type within acidic volcanics. Typical geophysical responses were detected from the above vein type ore body, respectively. From the shape and extent of S.P. anomaly, ore body is dipping westward and extending about 50 m. It is detected that the VLF EM response matching the outline of ore zone is considered as indication of dyke dipping westward. And also resistivity response indicating conductive dipping dyke is detected. From drilling results for outcrop and geophysical anomalies, the shape of ore body is vein type dipping about $70^{\circ}W$ and extending about 50 m.

To predict ground conditions ahead of the tunnel face, seismic refraction survey has been widely used. But due to the development in seismic equipment and techniques, tomography using borehole and others are actively applied in recent years. This study has a purpose to prevent stability problems during excavation and construction of tunnels by predicting unfavorable ground conditions such as fault, fractured zone and rock quality variation zone ahead of the tunnel face using TSP survey equipment. In this study, the validity of predicting ground conditions ahead of tunnel face by TSP survey has been evaluated through the case study in the road construction site.

비금속 및 금속 광물자원의 탐사는 국가경영에 있어서 절대적으로 필요한 공공의 기반산업에 해당된다. 지금까지 수행되어 왔던 자원 탐사사업의 대부분은 비교적 개발이 용이한 천부 광상들에 집중되어 왔으며, 천부 광상들의 과도한 개발로 인하여 자원탐사의 범위가 점차 심부화 되고있는 실정이다. 지하 심부에 분포하는 광상들을 효율적으로 탐사해 내기 위해서는 분지 내 심부 퇴적층들에 대한 정밀한 대비와 평가가 요구된다. 그러나, 그 동안 천부 광상들의 평가에 적용되어 왔던 기재적 층서 원리들로는 심부에 분포하는 광상들을 도출해 내는데 한계가 있어 왔다. 따라서, 분지 내 퇴적층들에 대한 보다 명확한 이해를 위해 새로운 고해상도의 층서틀 수립이 시급하다. 본 연구에서는 태백산분지 오오도비스 중기 퇴적층들에 대한 통합 층서적 접근을 통하여 고해상도 층서틀 수립에 대한 예를 제시하고자 한다. 이러한 통합 층서적 접근은 퇴적 분지의 지체 구조적 진화에 따른 층서를 규명하는데 있어서 보다 나은 통찰을 제공하고 있으며, 아울러 분지 내 비금속 및 금속 광물자원 탐사 및 개발사업의 효율성을 증대시키는데 사용될 수 있을 것이다 따라서, 통합 층서적 접근을 통한 퇴적층들에 대한 고해상도 층서틀 수립은 분지 내에 부존 되어 있는 모든 형태의 자원 탐사 및 개발사업에 있어서 성공률을 극대화시킬 수 있는 새로운 층서적 규범으로 강조되어 져야 한다.

As a check on calibration and drift in each discrete sub-system of a commercial frequency-domain airborne electromagnetic system, we aim to use causality constraints alone to predict in-phase from wide-band quadrature data. There are several possible applications of the prediction of in-phase response from quadrature data including: (1) quality control on base level drift, calibration and phase checks; (2) prediction and validation of noise levels in in-phase from quadrature measurements and vice versa and in future; and (3) interpolation and extrapolation of sparsely sampled data enforcing causality and better frequency-domain-time-domain transformations. In practice, using tests on both synthetic and measured Resolve helicopter-borne electromagnetic frequency domain data, in-phase data points could be predicted using a scaled Hilbert transform with a standard deviation between 40 and 80 ppm. However, relative differences between base levels between flight could be resolved to better than 1 ppm, which allows an independent quality control check on the accuracy of drift corrections.

A short laser pulse irradiates a sample to create the highly energetic plasma that emits light of a specific wavelength peak according to the material. By identifying different peaks for the analyzed samples, its chemical composition can be rapidly determined. The LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) has great advantages as an elemental analyzer on board a space rover, namely real-time rapid analysis and stand-off detection. The LIBS signal intensity is remarkably increased by using double-pulse LIBS system for component analysis of lunar environments where the surrounding pressure is low. Also the angle of target is adjusted for replicating arbitrary shapes of the specimen.
