In 2018 and 2019, GEO-KOMPSAT-2A and GEO-KOMPSAT-2B will be launched in order to succeed the COMS mission. The two satellites will be collocated in $128.25{\pm}0.05$ degrees East. For precise ranging and orbit determination, the GEO-KOMPSAT-2B will be equipped with LRA (Laser Retroreflector Assembly) and SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging) systems will be utilized. This systems are located in Geochang. In this case, the laser beam emitted from the SLR station can cause problems in terms of safety of optical payloads and image quality. As a solution of this possibility, the laser ranging will be done during the night time when the shutters of the optical payloads remain closed. Still, the optical payload of the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A is not safe from the laser beam because its optical payload shall continue its mission for 24 hours a day. In order to handle this problem, the laser ranging shall be limited to time slots when the angular distance between two satellites observed from the Geochang SLR station is large enough. In this paper, through orbit simulations, the characteristics of variation of the angular distance between the two satellites is analyzed to figure out the time slots when laser ranging is allowed.

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.

This research presents the correction method to correct the location error of cloud caused by parallax error, and how the method can reduce the position error. The procedure has two steps: first step is to retrieve the corrected satellite zenith angle from the original satellite zenith angle. Second step is to adjust the location of the cloud with azimuth angle and the corrected satellite zenith angle retrieved from the first step. The position error due to parallax error can be as large as 60km in case of 70 degree of satellite zenith angle and 15 km of cloud height. The validation results by MODIS(Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) show that the correction method in this study properly adjusts the original cloud position error and can increase the utilization of geostationary satellite data.

본 연구에서는 정지궤도 위성을 이용한 표준시각 동기 서비스에 실시간 궤도결정 기술을 적용하는 방안을 고려하였다. 정지궤도 위성을 이용하여 표준시각 동기신호를 전파하는 연구는 여러 나라에서 진행되고 있는데 3지역에서의 측정(Trilateration)과 미분 보정(Differential Correction) 방식이 일반적인 방법으로 채택되고 있다. 본 논고에서는 한국 항공우주연구원에서 진행 중인 표준시각 동기 서비스 연구와 이를 위해 제작중인 실시간 궤도결정 기술을 적용한 실험 소프트웨어에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 실시간 궤도결정 방법을 적용하게 되면 동기신호 전파에 있어서 가장 큰 오차의 원인이 되는 위성궤도 예측 오차를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 궤도 결정을 위해 사용하는 톤 레인징에 의한 위상차 신호와 안테나 각도 대신에 동기신호 자체만을 사용하고 있으며 1개의 수신 데이터만으로 궤도 결정을 수행하는 방안을 강구하였다. 본 논고에서는 실시간 궤도 결정에 의한 시뮬레이션 결과와 한국항공우주연구원에서 준비 중인 실험에 대해서 간략히 소개한다. 그리고 본 연구에서 개발된 기술은 2004년 4월에 무궁화위성 2호를 이용하여 실험을 수행할 예정이다.

위성은 임무를 수행함에 있어 수많은 주변장치와 탑재체로부터 데이터를 받는다. 이렇게 획득된 데이터를 활용하여 위성의 자세도 제어하고 전력도 관리하며 탑재체 목적에 따라 기상도 관측하고 해양도 관측하는 임무들을 수행한다. 또한 위성을 개발하면서 수행되는 여러가지 테스트에도 데이터를 활용한다. 이런 일련의 업무를 수행하면서 획득된 데이터는 위성내부의 관련 장치들에 대한 상태 정보를 확인하고 지상국에서 이상유무를 판단할 수 있는 정보도 제공하게 된다. 그러나 원하는 모든 데이터를 지상으로 보내기에는 대역폭이나 저장공간에 제약사항이 있다. 이런 이유로 필요한 데이터를 일정 포맷에 맞도록 정의한 후 데이터를 내려보낸다. 이런 데이터는 지상에서 데이터베이스로 관리된다. 본 논문에서는 국내 최초 정지궤도 위성인 천리안 위성의 데이터베이스를 분석하여 원격측정 데이터의 흐름을 이해하고자 한다.

Domestic satellite development programme is generally classified into two categories: COMS as GEO satellite and KOMPSAT as LEO one. Each satellite has the on-board propulsion system fulfilling its own mission requirements. The COMS propulsion system provides the thrust and torque required for the insertion into GEO, attitude and orbit control/adjustment of spacecraft. It is the well-known Chemical Propulsion System(CPS) using bipropellants. On the other hand, the monopropellant propulsion system is employed in KOMPSAT, and its main role is on-station attitude control excluding the orbit transfer function. In this study, these two representative propulsion systems are compared and analysed as well, in terms of essential differences and important characteristics.

The link of Geostationary Communication Satellite has transit delay and noise environments by physical distance. This situation exerts an influence on the degradation of baseband performance of Earth Station. Therefore, it is very important that degradation of baseband performance is grasped previously. This paper is presented that developed the simulator which can evaluate the baseband performance of earth station of a military satellite communication system during the current development. The simulator can mock delay on a satellite channel and bit errors without being used actual satellite links.

The necessary of research is proposed about sharing between networks of the fixed-satellite service using non-geostationary satellites and other networks of the fixed-satellite service, interference criteria and calculation methods for the fixed-satellite service because WRC-2000 make a decision that the frequency bands l1/14GHz and 20/30GHz are available to system in the fixed-satellite service employing satellite in both geostationary and non-geostationary orbits. In the paper, four methodologies attempting to derive continuous curves of korea satellite network EPFD(equivalent power flux density) are used.

GEO-KOMPSAT-2A and GEO-KOMPSAT-2B are under development by KARI to replace the COMS mission, and will be launched in 2018 and 2019, respectively. GEO-KOMPSAT-2 will be launched and injected into the GTO (Geostationary Transfer Orbit) by the Ariane V launcher. Once injected into the GTO, the satellites are transferred to the drift orbit by applying a series of apogee engine burns. The burn epoch time, duration, and intervals are selected such that the satellite is placed closest to the target drift longitude, or at the drift start longitude. For GEO-KOMPSAT-2, four or five LAE (Liquid Apogee Engine) burns will be applied for drift orbit injection. This paper establishes the GEO-KOMPSAT-2 LAE burn plan, considering predefined constraints and adjustments, taking into account the perturbing forces. Two approaches have been analyzed: the first is a single shot approach, whereas the other is an iteration based optimal solution. Optimal solution has been obtained using the Focusleop, a geostationary satellite LEOP tool.
