Research trend of calibration methods on the satellite microwave sensors was summarized in this paper. In addition, current operational or following near-future Earth observing satellite missions were introduced. According to these missions, the particular calibration methods on the corresponding microwave instruments were described. The main characteristics of the sensors and their scientific missions were also briefly explained.

The satellite in the geostationary orbit rotates around Earth center with the same angular rate as the Earth. So, the Earth can be observed with sequential time series. GOES(Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites)-9 is a meteorological satellite, which is now located at 155ㆁE geostationary orbit location in order to monitor East-Asia meteorological environment including Korean Peninsular. Every meteorological information is acquired from GOES-9 with the period of about 1 hour. COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) has been developed by KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) since 2003 and will be launched at 2008. COMS will be located at different orbit location compared to GOES-9. In this study, a simulated COMS image which is the perspective from different geostationary orbit location is generated using an GOES-9 image.

The calibration methods of satellite visible and infrared sensors for earth observations are ummarized in this paper. Commonly used instruments for the Earth observation and their calibration ethods were briefly introduced. The optical sensors (visible and infrared) and the calibration of these nstruments were focused. With the basic principles of the calibration methods, the instrument-level alibration, which are the essential calibration process for level 1 data generation, were presented.

In this study, an overview of the Earth Observing System (EOS) program is provided with discussions on its spacecrafts and instruments, and on the scientific issues. The EOS satellites aim at monitoring the Earth environmental system by observing parameters of subsystems such as atmosphere, ocean, land, and biosphere. The first EOS flagship, Terra, was launched on December 1999. Five instruments onboard Terra can measure cloud and aerosol properties, radiation, terrestrial surface, and ocean color. The second EOS flagship, Aqua, which was launched on May 2002, loads six instruments that measure clouds, radiation, precipitation, terrestrial surface, ocean color and sea surface temperature. The observational data available from the EOS satellites may complement data from the Communication-Oceanography-Meteorology satellite, which will be launched in 2008, for meteorological and environmental forecasts.

Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) of satellite image is an important performance index in satellite image applications. Therefore MTF performance is assessed using satellite image for the ground target during LEOP phase after launch. But the MTF performance assessment using the ground target can be affected by imaging conditions such as cloud and weather. In this paper system requirements and satellite operation for assessing MTF performance of satellite image using stellar sources are proposed. Satellite capability in collecting stellar sources using the satellite which is designed for earth observation and satellite image usefulness for assessing MTF performances were analyzed. The proposed approach will be useful to assess MTF performance of earth observation satellite in lower earth orbit.

과학기술위성3호는 170kg의 소형위성으로 2006년 사업을 착수하였으며, 올 2012년 12월에 러시아에서 발사할 예정이다. 주탑재체는 다목적 적외선 영상시스템 (MIRIS, Multi-Purpose IR Imaging System)으로 천문연에서 개발을 담당하였으며 우주관측과 지구관측을 수행한다. 부탑재체는 소형영상분광기 (COMIS, Compact Imaging Spectrometer)로 공주대에서 개발을 하였으며 지표면의 분광영상을 획득한다. 관측영상을 지상에서 내려 받아 사용자에게 배포를 하기 전 Radiometric, Geometric 보정을 수행하기 위해서는 관측영상 외에 관측할 때의 위성체 자세제어 정보도 함께 필요하다. 과학기술위성3호의 경우 우주관측은 관측영상 정보에 위성본체의 자세제어 정보도 함께 저장하기 때문에 지상에서 영상자료와 관제자료의 결합을 위해 추가로 수행하는 작업이 필요하지 않다. 그러나 지구관측은 영상자료와 자세제어 정보를 따로 저장하여 지상국으로 전송한다. 한곳의 영역만 관측 후 지상국으로 전송받는다면 문제가 발생하지 않지만, 지상국과 교신할 수 있는 궤도의 수는 한정되기 때문에 위성체의 메모리에는 여러 영역의 관측영상이 저장되어 있으며, 위성은 지상국과의 교신시간이 허락하는 최대로 영상자료를 송신한다. 본 발표에서는 다양한 영상자료의 저장 포맷과 여러 영역을 관측했을 때 각 영역에 해당하는 영상자료 구분 방법, 그리고 각 영상자료와 관제자료의 결합방법에 대해 설명한다.

Spaceborne earth observation or astronomical payloads often use Cassegrain-type telescopes due to limits in mass and volume. Precision optical alignment of such a telescope is vital to the success of the mission. This paper describes the alignment simulation and experiment of computer-aided alignment method during the assembly of MAC (Medium-sized Aperture Camera) telescope for spaceborne earth observation.

The Earth's total magnetic field was calculated from on board TAM(Three-Axis Magnetometer) observations of KOMPSAT-1 satellite between June 19th and 21st, 2000. The TAM's telemetry data were transformed from ECI(Earth-Centered Inertial Frame) to ECEF(Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed Frame) and then to spherical coordination. Self-induced field from the satellite bus were removed by the symmetric nature of the magnetic field. The 2-D wavenumber correlation filtering and quadrant-swapping method were applied to eliminate the dynamic components and track-line noise. To test the validity of the TAM's geomagnetic field, ${\phi}$rsted satellite's magnetic model and IGRF2000 model were used for statistical comparison. The correlation coefficients between KOMPSAT-1/${\phi}$rsted and KOMPSAT-1/IGRF2000 models are 0.97 and 0.96, respectively. The global spherical harmonic coeffi-cient was then calculated from the KOMPSAT-1 data degree and order of up to 19 and compared with those from IGRF2000, $\phi$rsted, and CHAMP models. The KOMPSAT-1 model was found to be stable to degree & order of up to 5 and it can give new information for the low frequency components of the global geomagtic field.
