It is necessary to be careful about contamination control to minimize the accumulation of the contamination material on satellite surface during the I&T phase. In the space environment which characterized by high vacuum, high and very low temperature, contamination material causes satellite to lose its own performance. Especially, contamination material can accumulate on critical surfaces such as lenses, mirrors, and sensors. KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) conducts the clean room to control and minimize the contamination effect. This paper introduces the principle of contamination and the method of measure and analysis for the contamination.

Active control of on-orbit spacecraft jitter is a significant problem for future spacecraft mission requiring stringent pointing performance. Jitter is major disturbance source degrading payload pointing performance. Both passive and active jitter isolation techniques have been studied during the last decade. We present active jitter isolation for a model device in this work. The device provides active control capability by 3 degree-of-freedom control of payload in feedback control strategy. Mathematical modeling of the device is pursued which is naturally used for a baseline controller design. Simulation results are used to validate the designed control law.

In this paper, the feasibility of the attitude control of a spacecraft using pulsed plasma thrusters(PPTs) is studied. The PPT consumes less propellant mass requied for the orbit management or attitude control owing to its high specific impulse characteristics, compared with traditional gas propulsion system. The PPT is expected to be highly adequete for the missions requiring long-duration operations because it has relatively long operation time and easy implementation. The feasibility of the PPT for attitude control of a small satellite system is addressed through realistic missions. The classical PD controller and a fuzzy logic controller are tested, and fuel saving fuzzy logic controller is then proposed for more flexible mission performance.

CSSA(Coarse Sun Sensor Assembly) is the essential sensor for satellite attitude control. CSSA measures the direction of the sun's rays and determines whether the satellite is in the eclipse or not. The paper shows the development process and test results of CSSA flight model for low earth orbit satellite. After analyzing the functional test results, we can make a decision whether the unit meets the requirements. We needs the definite and precision procedure and lots of experience. We could improve those through the development of Qualified Model for CSSA and so obtain the results to meet the functional requirement at the Flight model.

This paper presents a new scheme for fault detection and isolation in the satellite system. The purpose of this paper is to develop a fault detection, isolation and diagnosis algorithm based on the bank of interacting multiple model (IMM) filter for both total and partial faults in a satellite attitude control system (ACS). In this paper, IMM are utilized for detection and diagnosis of anticipated actuator faults in a satellite ACS. Other fault detection, isolation (FDI) schemes using conventional IMM are compared with the proposed FDI scheme. The FDI procedure is developed in two stages. In the first stage, 11 EKFs actuator fault models are designed to detect wherever actuator faults occur. In the second stage of the FDI scheme, two filters are designed to identify the fault type which is either the total or partial fault. An important feature of the proposed FDI scheme can decrease fault isolation time and figure out not only fault detection and isolation but also fault type identification.

In this study, a few of the modeling methods for flexible spacecraft were introduced and adopted to the modeling of a 3-axes stabilization satellite. The generated model was put into pre-built rigid body attitude control loop. A Lumped Parameter Model(Global Mode Model: GMM) was recommended for the absence of the Finite Element Method(FEM) model. Finally, GMM was compared with FEM in terms of designing a control filter. A 1st-order filter was designed to meet requirements of the controller since the new flexible model was applied, and that filter was added to motor controller and axis controller. MATLAB/Simulink was used as a tool for design and simulation of the control loop and filter.

본 논문에서는 소형 큐브위성의 전력시스템 구성품의 용량 및 위성의 운용로직을 설계할 수 있는 소프트웨어 테스트베드 설계 방법을 제시한다. 기존 초소형 인공위성 시스템 설계를 위한 소프트웨어가 개발되어 상용품으로 판매되고 있으나, 주로 자세제어 시스템의 제어기 설계를 위해 소프트웨어가 사용되고있고, 텍스트기반 복잡한 구조로 되어있어 본 논문의 목적인 전력계 구성품 용량 및 운용로직을 설계하는데 이를 활용하기 어려운 측면이 있었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전력시스템의 구성품들을 전력 및 에너지 방정식으로 모델링하여 Matlab/Simulink에서 이를 구현함으로써 가독성을 높여 시스템 설계 및 분석 시간을 줄일 수 있는 소프트웨어 테스트베드 설계방법을 제시한다. 제안된 소프트웨어 테스트베드를 이용한 3리터 사이즈의 소형 큐브위성 시스템의 구성품 용량 및 운용로직 설계 결과를 본 논문에서 제시한다.

A VSC law is derived for the attitude control of an orbiting spacecraft in the presence of disturbance and parameters variation using reaction jets. The switching surface was chosen to be a linear function of tracking error, its derivative and integral. Simulation results are presented to show that in the closed-loop system, precise attitude control is accomplished in spite of uncertainty in the system.

자장센서는 인공위성에 장착되어 궤도환경에서의 지자기장을 측정하는 센서로서 위성체의 자세결정과 자세제어 등에 활용된다. 일반적으로 자장센서는 원리와 응용범위에 따라 그 종류가 광범위하다. 응용되는 자기현상적으로 분류하면 Faraday 전자기 유도법칙을 이용한 방식, Hall Effect를 이용한 방식, 감지코일의 인덕턴스 변화와 와전류효과를 이용한 방식, 자속분포의 변화에 의한 유도기전력의 변화를 이용한 방식, 자기저항 변화효과를 이용한 방식 등이 있다. 그 중에서도 Faraday's Law를 이용하는 Fluxgate 자장센서가 구조가 비교적 간단하고 경량이며, 높은 신뢰성과 안정성을 가진다. 실제 위성을 발사하기전 지상에서는 위성체를 조립하고 전자파, 진동, 열진공 등과 같은 다양한 환경시험을 수행하는데, 이때 각 환경시험 수행을 전후로 자장센서의 극성시험, 응답시험 등과 같은 기능시험을 수행한다. 본 논문은 다양한 환경시험을 통해 수행한 Fluxgate 자장센서 기능시험 데이터에 대한 추이를 분석하여 위성 발사전 지상에서의 자장센서의 상태와 건전성을 진단하는 방법에 대하여 소개한다.
