국내기술로 개발된 고기동 위성이 해상도 70cm급 광학카메라를 탑재하고 태양동기궤도를 따라 지구 주위를 하루에 14바퀴이상 돌면서 임무를 수행한다. 높은 해상도의 영상을 얻기 위해 자세제어계에서는 고성능 별추적기와 자이로를 사용하는 정밀자세결정 로직과 반작용 휠을 사용하는 자세제어 로직을 운용한다. 자세제어계에서는, 발사환경 및 우주환경의 영향으로 인한 자이로의 오정렬, SF오차, 별추적기 상호간 오정렬에 대한 상대보정과 탑재컴퓨터에서 결정한 궤도 및 자세정보와 영상 기준점 정보를 이용하여 절대보정을 수행한다. 한편, 탑재 알고리즘에서는 강건한 자세결정로직을 운용하고 있고, 별추적기의 측정지연 보상, 처리 주기내의 평균 각속도 사용 등 실시간 운용으로 인한 제한으로 성능상의 제약이 있다. 따라서 정밀자세결정 지상 후처리 작업이 필요하며 이를 위해서 기 개발된 지상처리용 정밀자세결정 소프트웨어를 새로운 접속요구규격에 맞춰 업그레이드하였다. 지상처리 정밀자세결정을 위해서 탑재컴퓨터는 영상촬영 전후 일정기간 동안 별추적기 데이터, 자이로 데이터, 탑재컴퓨터에서 결정한 자세정보 등을 매 탑재컴퓨터 처리 주기로 저장하여 지상으로 전송한다. 전송된 자료를 이용하여 지상처리용 정밀자세결정 소프트웨어는 정밀궤도 정보와 결합하여 정밀자세결정을 수행한다. 고기동 위성의 경우 기동 후 정밀자세결정 수렴 속도 향상이 필요하며, 소프트웨어의 필터 파라미터를 조율하여 성능을 향상하였다.

According to the different baseline lengths, we quantitatively analyzed how much precision of the baseline de-termination is improved for GPS survey when using the precise ephemeris instead of the broadcast ephemeris of GPS satellites. For this research, we selected seven baselines ranging from 15 km to 201 km and performed GPS measurements more than six times for each baseline. The observed data for each baseline were processed two times with the same conditions alternately changing the broadcast and the precise ephemeris. The standard deviations from the repeated measurements for each baseline are compared between the results of using the broadcast ephemeris and the precise ephemeris. As the result, the precision, stability and reliability of the base-line determination using the precise ephemeris is better than those of using the broadcast ephemeris for all base-lines. When using precise ephemeris for the baselines longer than 65 km, the precision less than 0.1ppm is always obtained and the precision improvement rate by using the precise ephemeris is considerably greater than that for the shorter baselines. We expect that this result might be a quantative basis for the decision about what ephemeris is better for the baseline length and the demanded precision in GPS survey.

This paper describes the orbit accuracy of KOMPSAT-5, which has been in normal operations since the launch on Aug. 22, 2013. The analysis on the various GPS related data and the different methodologies for orbit estimation are carried out and compared with each other. The accuracy of precise orbit is confirmed to be 12.8cm($1{\sigma}$) on average using data from the in-flight dual frequency GPS receiver, GPS precise ephemeris, and IGS stations. In addition, the orbit estimation using single frequency GPS receiver provides the orbit solution around 2m level. And, the accuracy of orbit processing is 5m using on-board navigation solution, which has about 10m accuracy.

The accuracy of user position by GPS is heavily dependent upon the accuracy of satellite position which is usually transmitted to GPS users in radio signals. The real-time satellite position information directly obtained from broadcast ephimerides has the accuracy of 3~10 meters which is very unsatisfactory to measure 100km baseline to the accuracy of less than a few mili-meters. There are globally at present seven orbit analysis centers capable of generating precise GPS ephimerides and their orbit quality is of the order of about 10cm. Therefore, precise orbit model and phase processing technique were reviewed and consequently precise GPS ephimerides were produced after processing the phase observables of 28 global GPS stations for 1 day. Initial 6 orbit parameters and 2 solar radiation coefficients were estimated using batch least square algorithm and the final results were compared with the orbit of IGS, the International GPS Service for Goedynamics.

This paper describes an improvement of space objects orbit prediction. To screen possible collisions between operational satellites and space objects, the TLE (Two-Line Element) was used as pseudo-measurement and than the orbit determination and orbit prediction were performed through the flight dynamics system. For determining the orbits, the state vectors were assumed by a series of TLEs within a certain period. The propagation error was analyzed according to the fitting period and a number of pseudo-observations. In order to find out the improvement of orbit prediction with the proposed method, KOMPSAT-2, 3 having the precise orbit in the meter-level range were first applied. Then the result applied to space objects under the same conditions was analyzed. As a result of the RMS error comparison with the orbit prediction of space object, the precision of orbit prediction was improved by approximately 90% for seven days prediction. The improved orbit prediction of space objects can be utilized in the daily analysis for initial screening of the close space objects at high risk.

Even more than 240 commercial geostationary communication satellites currently on orbit at the higher location than the GPS orbit altitude perform their own missions only by the support of the ground segment because of weak visibility from GPS. In addition, the orbit determination accuracy is very low without using two or more dedicated ground tracking antennas in intercontinental ground segment, since the satellite hardly moves with respect to the ground station. In this paper, we propose the GSPS(Geostationary Satellite Positioning System) in circular orbits of two sidereal days period higher than the geosynchronous orbit for orbit determination and autonomous satellite operation. The GSPS is conceived as a ranging system in that unknown positions of a geostationary satellite can be acquired from the known positions of the GSPS satellites. Each GSPS satellite transmits navigation data, clock data, correction data, and geostationary satellite command to control a geostationary satellite.

GEO-KOMPSAT2 shall be designed to produce higher quality of image than that of COMS, and this requires the ground system to provide orbit data with high accuracy; better than 2km which is sort of high accuracy when it comes to geostationary satellite. For GEO-KOMPSAT2, KARI is planning to use ranging data for orbit determination, obtained from two ranging stations located in KARI and oversea country with long longitudinal baseline. This paper estimated achievable orbit determination accuracy using covariance analysis under assumption of using two ranging stations; SOC and available secondary tracking stations located in oversea countries. In addition to covariance analysis, in order to validate the analysis, the Monte-Carlo simulation has been performed and compared to the covariance analysis.

IGS provides so accute a final precise ephmerides which is offered in the 13rd, and it also offers a rapid precise ephmerides for more prompt application and an ultra-rapid precise ephmerides for real-time application. The purpose of this study is to analyze the accuracy of a rapid precise ephemerides and an ultra-rapid precise ephemerides based on a final precise ephmerides and determine the degree of the Lagrange Interpolation which needs to decide the location of a satellite. As the result of this study, the root mean square error of x,y,z coordinates of a rapid precise ephemerides was $\pm$0.0l6m or so, and the root mean square error of an observed ultra-rapid precise ephemerides was approximately $\pm$0.024m. The root mean square error of an ultra-rapid precise ephemerides predicted for 24 hours was $\pm$0.07m or so and the one of an ultra-rapid precise ephemerides predicted for 6 hours was $\pm$0.04m or so. Therefore, I could figure out that it had higher accuracy than a broadcast ephemerides. Also, in case that the location of a satellite was calculated with the method of the Lagrange Interpolation, it was confirmed that using the 9th order polynomial was efficient.

Gauss and Laplace methods for initial orbit determination (IOD) are classical orbit determination tools and have been used very efficiently in optical satellite surveillance system. Several studies related to these two methods have been released until now. In this study, we found that the trends of IOD accuracy for different time interval between three pairs of measurement datas show unexpected results. Therefore, we checked the possible cause of these differences. In order to check various orbit types, we used most of satellite data which is able to obtain. To check the characteristics of methodology-only, we used simulated observation data. And we used real observation data for specific satellites to check the characteristics appeared when we applyed these methods to optical satellite surveillance system. As a result, we found that trends of IOD accuracy for time interval could be different because of satellite position observed.
