측면주사음탐기(side scan sonar) 센서는 해저면의 영상을 실시간으로 탐색하는 장비로서 해양탐사 및 지질조사, 해저통신 및 어초조사, 기뢰 및 잠수정 탐색 등 해양탐사와 관련한 대표적 장비라고 할 수 있다. 센서는 해저와 목표물을 표시하기 위해 소나 플랫폼의 움직임을 사용하며, 동작주파수 범위는 20kHz~500kHz이다. 이 주파수는 요구되는 깊이와 목표물의 크기에 의해서 결정된다. 센서는 수직으로 $45^{\circ}$, 수평으로 $2^{\circ}$ 정도의 신호전파 방사각도 폭을 가진다. 최근에는 해양탐사와 개발을 위해 빠른 스캔속도와 정확한 정보, 고해상도의 영상을 얻기 위해 해저면에 대한 다중빔 영상센서의 핵심기술로 활용되면서 그 활용성과 중요성이 점차 증가되고 있다. 본고에서는 측면주사소나 센서의 기본 원리 및 종류, 디중빔측면주사소나 기술동향, 응용분야의 사례를 소개함으로써, 국내 기반기술 및 상용화 개발이 취약한 측면주사 음탐기 센서에 대한 이해를 돕고자 한다.

우리나라 최초의 우주탐사 프로그램인 Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO)는 1년의 임무기간동안 달과 달 주변의 우주환경에 대한 과학탐사 임무를 수행할 예정이다. 이를 위해서 1개에 기술 검증장비와 고해상도 카메라를 포함한 5개의 과학장비를 탑재할 예정이다. 이 중 고해상도 카메라인 LUTI(LUnar Terrain Imager)와 국내에서 개발한 3개의 과학탑재체(KGRS;감마선분광기, KMAG;자기장측정기, PolCam;광시야 편광카메라)가 획득한 과학자료는 일정기간(통상 1년)동안 비공개로 검보정이 이루어진 후 일반에게 공개(Public release)할 예정이다. 이러한 과학자료의 공개와 관리를 위해서 한국항공우주연구원은 KPLO 심우주 지상시스템 내에 과학자료의 공개 및 관리를 위한 KARI Planetary Data System(KPDS)을 개발하고 있다. KPDS는 미국 NASA의 PDS에서 개발하여 유럽, 일본 등에서 이미 행성탐사 과학자료의 표준으로 활용하고 있는 PDS4 표준을 준수하는 과학자료를 제공할 것이다. 본 발표를 통해서 KPDS의 운영개념과 과학자료 관리계획, 그리고 KPDS의 개발현황을 천문학계와 공유하여 KPLO에 의해서 획득된 과학자료가 많은 과학자들이 활용하여 높은 과학적 성과를 낼 수 있기를 기대한다.

Offshore wind power is increasingly regarded as a viable solution for reducing greenhous emissions due to the construction of wind farms and their superior power generation efficiency. Submarine power cables play a crucial role in transmitting the electricity generated offshore to land. To monitor cables and identify points of failure, analyzing the location or depth of burial of submarine cables is necessary. This study reviewed the technology and research for detecting submarine power cables, which were categorized into seismic/acoustic, electromagnetic, and magnetic exploration. Seismic/acoustic waves are primarily used for detecting submarine power cables by installing equipment on ships. Electromagnetic and magnetic exploration detects cables by installing equipment on unmanned underwater vehicles, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) and remotely operated vihicles (ROV). This study serves as a foundational resource in the field of submarine power cable detection.

Because offshore plant industry needs to design, deploy and operate much of equipment especially, the latest trend shows the installation of production facilities is augmented in the subsea. The installed facilities are very difficult to be repaired or changed because they are located in the subsea. For solving these problems, both the directly related information of the production like the optimal number, position and depth of wells and the distribution for effective operation and safety of equipment of subsea should be considered at the preliminary stage of FEED (Front End Engineering Design). The marine exploration is introduced in this paper for providing the fundamental technology to answer the questions related to above considering points. First, some kinds of the offshore plant facilities are enumerated and aims of marine exploration for the offshore oil/gas development are summarized. In addition to it, the main roles of marine survey, in the step of designing and installing offshore oil-gas plant, development are briefly listed. And then foreign examples are shown to help the reader's understand. This paper is hoped to be helpful for understanding the marine exploration that can be applied to offshore oil/gas plant and to be contributed to developing the domestic techniques in this field for the future.

Cable-free seismic technology is to acquire seismic data with independent receivers which are not connected by cables. This is an effective method for survey designs with less topographical conditions. With technology advancement for cable-free receivers, reliable data quality, easy deployment, and picking up the receivers, the cable-free technology has begun to apply to land seismic acquisition. In this study we introduced a cable-free seismic system and its equipment. We tried to build up the cable-free seismic technology through the field application. In the seismic tomography field applications, the seismic signals of the cable-free receiver and cabled receiver with the same distance from the source show the same phase in early stage. The difference of the first arrival times between two signals is less than 0.4 ms, which could be accepted. In the field application for seismic reflection exploration, we acquired shot gathers with different source depth and dynamite charge. The shot gathers from cable-free and cabled system are similar to each other. With an efficient method for receiver deployment and survey design, the application of the cable-free technology will increase.

Successful field test results for high-current time-lapse electrical imaging in marine sediments area are discussed. Because field trial by commercially available equipments were failed, self-developed system which supports transmitting current up to 5 ampere was used. Some weak zones due to local fractures were detected, but the weak zone effect in this area by time-lapse measurements from sea level change was minor.

Since satellites, including payloads, are limited in how they can respond to problems after launch, the functionality of the satellite should be verified sufficiently by EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment). In addition, considering the trend that the development period of the satellite is shortening and the development of the EGSE must precede the development of the engineering model of electronic equipment, early securing of EGSE is necessary to comply with the development schedule of the entire satellite. In this paper, we propose a method for early securing highly reliable EGSE by devising a scenario based operating payload packet analyzer, which is a part of the EGSE, through functional modularization and external parameterization, and show the result of applying the implemented payload packet analyzer to real satellite program.

In order to investigate ground state change visually in physical model during centrifuge testing, electrical resistivity survey was adopted. Commercial resistivity survey equipment verified at various in-situ sites was utilized. The resistivity survey equipment installed in centrifuge facility was remotely controlled through intranet and electrical resistivity images obtained while centrifuge testing was being checked by real-time inversion. To verify the stable operation of the developed resistivity survey system, preliminary tests were conducted. Model ground was uniformly constructed using unsaturated soil and saline water was dropped on the ground surface to simulate contaminant flow situation. During the 10 g centrifuge tests, electrical resistivity was continuously detected and the testing results were compared with those of identically carried out 1 g centrifuge tests. In addition, the electrical resistivity was directly measured immediately after the centrifuge test by open cutting the model. Finally, reliability of electrical resistivity survey in the centrifuge test was verified by comparing those testing results.
