현재까지 한국의 자국 우주기반 지역위성항법시스템은 개발되거나 구체적으로 계획되어 있지 않다. 그러나 국내 지역위성항법시스템의 개발요구는 여러 가지 수요 외적인 요인으로도 결정될 수 있으며, 커져가는 국내의 위성항법시스템에 대한 의존도는 결국 자국 위성항법시스템의 개발 및 보유를 궁극적으로 요구할 것으로 사료된다. 한반도 주변을 활용서비스 대상으로 설정하는 지역위성보강항법 시스템 또는 지역위성항법 시스템 둘 다 설계 궤도나 시스템 설계개념은 그리 선택의 여지가 많지 않다. 또한 우주감시 분야는 국내에서 막 태동하는 연구개발 분야이며 미래 한국형항법위성시스템을 보유했을 때 항법시스템의 유지와 항법메세지의 생성을 위해서 반드시 필요한 기술 분야이기도 하다. 이 연구에서는 한국보다 먼저 구축이 기대되는 일본의 준천정위성시스템의 한국 지역 활용도를 분석하고, 유사한 시스템을 한국에 적용했을 때의 활용도 분석, 독자적인 위성항법시스템을 도입했을 때 사용가능한 궤도 얼개 분석, 그리고 이차적인 추적시스템으로서 지상기반 광학추적시스템의 가관측성 등을 분석하였다.

One of the key elements for developing GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) is the comprehensive analysis of GNSS satellite orbit including the capabilities to generate precision navigation message. The orbit characteristics of Japan's own GNSS system, called QZSS (Quasi Zenith Satellite System) is analyzed and its navigation message, which includes orbit elements and correction terms, is investigated. QZSS-type orbit simulations were performed using a precision orbit integrator in order to analyze the effect of perturbation forces, e.g. gravity, Moon, Sun, etc., on the orbit variation. A preliminary algorithm for creating orbit element corrections was developed and its accuracy is evaluated with the simulation data.

The quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS) provides sub-meter level augmentation service (SLAS) to improve the positioning accuracy of single-frequency GPS L1 receiver users. The SLAS correction consists of differential GPS information (DGPS) and the corrections are transmitted via quasi-zenith satellites (QZS). The DGPS correction reduces the effect of pseudo-range errors due to satellite orbit, clock and atmospheric delay errors. Thirteen SLAS reference stations in Japan generate the correction data. The performance of the DGPS correction depends on several factors, including location of reference stations, distance between the user and reference station, etc. The long-term performance of the SLAS corrections was evaluated by processing data over a five-year period (2019-2023). The SLAS corrections were applied to GPS observations at the IGS stations in Japan and the positioning accuracy was evaluated. The correlation with the ionospheric activity and the latitude of the SLAS reference stations was also evaluated.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been used as a tool to accurately extract the Total Electron Content (TEC) in the ionosphere. The multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS) constellations bring new opportunities for ionospheric research. In this study, we develop a regional ionospheric TEC model using GPS, Galileo, and QZSS measurements. To develop an ionospheric model covering the Asia-Oceania region, we select 13 International GNSS Service (IGS) stations. The ionospheric model applies the spherical harmonic expansion method and has a spatial resolution of 2.5°×2.5° and a temporal resolution of one hour. GPS TEC, Galileo TEC, and QZSS TEC are investigated from January 1 to January 31, 2024. Different TEC values are in good agreement with each other. In addition, we compare the QZSS(J07) TEC and the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) Global Ionosphere Map (GIM) TEC. The results show that the QZSS TEC estimated in the study coincides closely with the CODE GIM TEC.
