KOMPSAT-1 AOCS mode divided into three major mode like Sun, Maneuver, Science Mode. The Maneuver mode consist of attitude hold and Δ-V Burn submode. This paper focus on the analysis of AOCS Maneuver Mode characteristics based on on-orbit playback data. The nadir pointing performance of attitude hold submode and the process for Δ-V Burn firing with plus/ minus 90 degree pitch/ roll maneuvering was verified. And also verified that the on-orbit performance meets the AOCS subsystem specification as designed.

A fast maneuvering LEO satellite producing high resolution images was developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute and launched successfully. To achieve accurate pointing and stringent pointing stability, the attitude orbit control subsystem implements high performance star trackers and gyroscopes. In addition, series of on-orbit calibration need to be performed to compensate mainly misalignment errors due to launch shock and on-orbit thermal environment. In this paper, the on-orbit calibration approach is described with the performance enhancement result through flight data analysis.

In this paper, VDS(Vehicle Dynamics Simulator) and ACS(Attitude Control Simulator) are developed and are verified using PILS(Process In-the Loop Simulation) between VDS and ACS. VDS is including the AOCS(Attitude & Orbit Control Subsystem) hardware modeling of geosynchronous satellite and consists of modulation concept. ACS performs the attitude determination using sensor data and generates the attitude control commands. In order to transfer the data between VDS and PCDU(Power Control & Distribution Unit), data acquisition boards were mounted. VDS performance is verified using HILS(Hardware In-the Loop Simulation) between VDS and PCDU.

다목적실용위성 1호의 자세제어는 추력기를 이용한 방법과 반작용 휠을 이용한 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 추력기를 이용한 방법은 위성이 안전모드에 진입하거나 궤도조정시 이용되며, 정상 운영모드에서 촬영임무를 수행할 때는 반작용 휠을 이용하여 위성의 자세를 제어하고 있다. 자세제어는 제로 모멘텀 바이어스(Zero Momentum Bias)를 이용하여 3축 제어방식을 사용하고 있다. 지구센서(CES, Conical Earth Sensor)와 자이로(Gyro)를 통하여 얻은 자세정보를 이용하여 위성의 탑재컴퓨터에서 제어로직을 수행하면 MDE(Motor Drive Electronic)를 통해 모멘텀을 입력받아 반작용 휠의 회전속도를 변화 시켜 자세제어를 수행한다. 본 논문은 위성의 임무기간 동안 반작용 휠을 이용하여 자세제어를 수행한 결과를 바탕으로 위성의 제로 모멘텀 바이어스를 통한 자세제어계의 변화를 분석하여 향후 연장 임무기간 동안 발생할 수 있는 운영상의 문제점을 확인하고, 이에 대한 조치 방법과 자세제어계의 운영 방안을 제시하고 한다.

In this paper, the calibration parameters of the gyros and star hackers are estimated by using an on-orbit AOCS sensor calibration algorithm. The calibration algorithm was implemented by Kalman filter. In order to estimate gyro calibration parameters, the calibration algorithm requires calibration maneuver and it was analyzed whether the star trackers are protected by Sun, Moon and Earth or not. Also the star tracker calibration algorithm used the camera image information. This kinds of camera image information simulated ground control point and orbit information. The estimated accuracy of star tracker calibration parameters depends on camera image information.

In the attitude and orbit control subsystem design, the moment of inertia of the satellite is the major contributor to be considered. Satellites equipped with large solar arrays need to measure the moment of inertia accurately to avoid the interference of the thruster actuation period with its flexible mode. In this paper, the in-orbit tests of COMS to measure the moment of inertia are described. Then, the differences between the measured through in-orbit test and the predicted are compared. Finally, it is verified that the differences are below uncertainty bounds considered in the critical design of COMS attitude and orbit control subsystem.

우리나라 최초의 다목적 실용위성인 아리랑 1호는 지난 2003년 2월 21일부로 목표 하였던 임무운영기간 3년을 완수하였으며, 현재는 연장 운영을 하고 있다. 당초 목표했던 3년의 임무 수명을 뛰어 넘어 향후 2∼3년은 더 운영할 수 것으로 예측하고 있다. 따라서 위성체의 각 서브시스템의 상황을 분석하고 발생한 문제에 대해 신속히 대처하는 것이 중요하다. 아리랑 1호는 크게 탑재체, 자세제어계(AOCS), 전력계(EPS), 추진계(PS), 열제어계(TCS), 원격측정명령계(TC&R)의 Subsystem으로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 발사부터 목표 임무운영기간까지 서브시스템 중 원격측정명령계의 상태를 분석 정리하였으며, 초과운영에 있는 현 시점의 상태를 정리하였다.

A measurement of spacecraft alignment is an important process of spacecraft assembly, integration and test. Because, it is necessary that a operator of a ground station controls the precise positions of on-orbit spacecraft by using the alignment data of attitude orbit control sensors(AOCS) on spacecraft. And, an accuracy of spacecraft alignment requirement is about $0.1^{\circ}{\sim}0.7^{\circ}$. A spacecraft alignment is measured by autocollimation of theodolite. This paper describes the measurement principle and method of spacecraft alignment. The result shows that all the AOCS on the spacecraft are aligned within the tolerance required through the alignment measurement.
