In order to perform the satellite structural analysis, FE-Model(Finite Element Model) considering all mechanical properties is necessary. Generally, different companies develop several satellite components, and sometimes it is very difficult to obtain FE-Model. In this case, FE-Model reduction using superelement method can be good solution. For developing satellite, antenna manufacturer required satellite FE-Model to calculate microvibration induced by antenna operation, and condensed model using superelement method was provided. Superelement method is based on Craig-Bampton method, and it is applied to spacecraft FE-Model reduction in this paper. From modal analysis and the frequency response analysis results between full FE-Model and condensed model, the usefulness of reduced model is confirmed.

Because thermal design of satellite carrying out mission in space is performed by thermal analysis result using thermal mathematical model, accuracy of thermal mathematical model is important and it can be improved by model correlation. Correlation steps of satellite thermal math model are composed of modeling of satellite configuration placed in thermal vacuum chamber, verification of correspondence between thermal math model and real satellite configuration, and adjustment of modeling parameters from major part to minor part etc. In this study, correlation success criteria was established and correlation for satellite thermal math model was performed using result of thermal vacuum test of satellite structure-thermal model to meet the success criteria. The overall results satisfied the criteria and this correlated thermal model was applied for detailed thermal design of satellite.

To guarantee the proper functions of a satellite in the extreme space environment, the several test models are developed generally. There are advantages that the design and the analysis of Flight Model(FM) can be validated through these test models, and the functional reliabilities can be increased by reflecting the modifications on the final design of FM. The integration and test of Structure & Thermal Model(STM) of KOMPSAT, being currently developed, have been completed. In this paper, the processes of design and analysis of the STM propulsion system, one of the KOMPSAT modules, are described.

인공위성은 발사체에 실려 임무궤도에 도달하는 동안 여러 과정을 겪고 이에 따른 우주 열환경에 노출되게 된다. 본 연구에서는 발사체의 페어링(Fairing)이 열리고 이후 인공위성이 임무궤도에 도달하는 동안까지 인공위성에 대한 열해석을 수치적인 방법을 이용하지 않고 해석해를 이용하여 수행하였다. 일반적으로 발사시 인공위성에 대한 열해석은 수치모델을 개발하여야 하는 시간과 노력이 많이 드는 작업이다. 그러나 수치 모델이 완성되기 전에 주요 부품에 대한 극한 환경에서의 온도 예측이 필요한 경우가 있다. 본 연구는 해석 기법을 이용하여 주요 부품의 온도를 비교적 간단한 방법으로 예측하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 열관련 지배방정식에 여러 가정을 적용하여 지배방정식을 최대한 단순화시켰다. 그 결과, 최종적으로 1차 미분 방정식 형태의 단순화된 지배방정식을 얻게 되었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 여러가지 조건에 대한 연구가 시도하였다. 즉 고려하는 대상의 질량이 일정하게 유지 되는 경우와 일정한 비율로 질량이 감소하는 경우, 인공위성이 최악의 고온환경과 최악의 저온환경에 처한 경우, 그리고 시간에 대한 변수항 때문에 약간의 수치작업이 필요한 경우가 연구되었다. 본 연구에서 제안된 해석해 기법은 적절한 우주 열환경 조건과 결합하게 되면 발사과정에 대한 완전한 수치모델이 완성되기전에 위성체 부품에 대한 열적 안정성을 검토하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

The interaction model between variable-speed control moment gyros and a satellite has been studied based on the multi-body dynamics. Using the interaction model, we could obtain data for the design of VCMG motors and the strength design of structure. The interaction effects of flexible modules such as solar panels were included. Flexible modes are excited by the satellite's maneuver, and these modes cause perturbations in the satellite attitude. We developed a simulation program by Modelica and verified the proposed model.

When developing medium satellites or large satellites, coupled load analysis(CLA) is performed in order to verify satellite design as a final assessment under launch environment. Maximum acceleration, gap between adjacent parts, internal loads obtained from CLA are used to assess the safety of satellite design by comparing them with the allowable loads of every component. To achieve reliable CLA results, satellite FE model have to be properly updated to match with the sine vibration test results. In this paper, the validation procedure of satellite FE model and its results are discussed.

Commonly-used methods for camera modelling of pushbroom images were implemented and their performances were assessed. The models include Vector Propagation) model, Gugan and Downman(GD)'s model, Orun and Natarajan(ON)'s model, and Direct Linear Transformation(DLT) model The models were tested on a SPOT full-scene over Seoul. The number of ground control points(GCP) used range from 1 to 23. For less than 6 GCPs all other models fail except VP, with VP's accuracy being 2.7 pixels. With mode than 6 GCPs ON shows the best accuracy with 1pixel accuracy while the accuracy of VP is 1.5 pixels. GD fails in most cases due to the correlation among model parameters. The accuracy of DLT does not converge but fluctuates between 1 and 4 pixels subject to GCPs used. VP has an advantage in that its results can be used for the estimation of satellite orbit. Unresolved topics are: to remove errors in GCPs from the aforementioned accuracy value; to improve the performance of VP.

우주 공간이라는 극한 상황에서 운용되는 인공위성을 개발하기 위해서는 실제 제작 공간인 지상에서 가능한 모든 우주 공간에서의 위험을 예측하여 원하지 않는 재난을 방지할 수 있는 설계를 수행함이 요망된다. 위성의 기동 및 자세 제어에 사용되는 하이 드라진 추진시스템의 경우 예상되는 가장 큰 재난은 추진제의 동결로 인한 추진시스템의 작동 불능이다. 본 연구에서는 추진시스템의 안정적 작동을 위해 요구되는 추진제의 동결 방지를 위해 사용되는 히터 사양을 결정하며 이를 위해 위성 추진시스템의 열ㆍ수학적 모델을 개발한다. 개발된 열ㆍ수학적 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 수치적으로 계산된 결과를 열진공 시험의 결과와 비교 연구한다 이론적 해석 모델과 열진공 시험조건 사이의 다소의 불일치성에도 불구하고 두 결과는 정성적으로 잘 부합된다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 위성 추진시스템의 히터가 적절히 설계되었으며 개발된 열ㆍ수학적 모델은 인공위성 추진시스템의 주요한 설계 수단으로 사용될 수 있음을 검증한다.

In this paper, an assessment on the preliminary coupled load analysis results for advanced Low Earth Orbit Earth Observation satellite was performed. Spacecraft FE-model was converted into Craig-Bampton model consisting of mass matrix, stiffness matrix, acceleration transformation matrix, displacement transformation matrix, and it was delivered to the launch vehicle developer. Launch vehicle developer performed a coupled load analysis with launch vehicle model and spacecraft Craig-Bampton model, and the coupled load analysis results were provided to us. From the assessment on the analysis results, it was verified that spacecraft is safe under launch environment.
