COMS (Communication Ocean and Meteorological Satellite), the Korea's first geostationary Earth observation satellite, started to operate 24 hours to observe Land/Ocean/Atmosphere with the MI (Meteorological Imager) and GOCI (Geostationary Ocean Color Imager). After the successful completion of the IOT (In-Orbit Test), the satellite is in normal operation from April of 2011. This paper describes an algorithm for scan mirror emissivity compensation of the COMS MI and its software implementation.

This paper implements an antenna selection logic that automatically selects omni-directional antennas mounted on the top and bottom of an unmanned helicopter to maintain the link margin of the data link at 0dB or higher during flight. The selection criteria were derived by simulating and analyzing the radiation pattern. In addition, it is implemented to select the optimal antenna in real time during the flight by deriving the directivity angle function.

This paper deals with an alternative multi-functional structures by using grid-stiffened composite structure with excellent bending stiffness and lightweight characteristics which is capable of easy embedding of electrical/electronic circuitry into structure. The enhancement of thermal conduction capability is made by the application of pitch-based carbon fiber. The lightweight radiation spot shielding technique is also proposed for multi-functional structures without conventional housing and the effectiveness of selective radiation shielding is validated through the proton irradiation test.

The spectral irradiance of the Moon is used to monitor the performance of on-board satellite's visible channel detectors. This paper established a method to compute the spectral irradiance of the Moon using the relative positions between the Sun, Moon, and the COMS (Communication, Ocean, Meteorological Satellite), which is generated through the COMS FDS (Flight Dynamics Subsystem). The established computation method is applied to the algorithm which is developed to detect and compensate the degradations of COMS MI (Meteorological Imager) visible channel detectors.

Telemetry data is very important for the Launch Mission and Flight Safety Control during the Space Launch. In Naro Space Center, several telemetry stations such as a small station in the NARO space center, two stations in Jeju and a downrange station on a ship are deployed for the stable acquisition/receiving of the telemetry signals. In this paper, the Link Margin and Reliability for the telemetry are analyzed to evaluate the probability of the signal receiving of each station. Even though the proper analysis is to using the on-board EIRP(Effective Isotropic Radiation Power) values in the direction of the ground station considering the predicted flight trajectory and the locations of the stations, the global EIRP of 95% spatial coverage has been used for the analysis, due to the limitation of the available data.

In this paper, a compact and wideband CLAS(Conformal Load bearing Antenna Structure) was studied using smart skin technique. In order to satisfy the electrical performance of the CLAS antenna, the proposed CLAS antenna is composed of conductive mesh, face-sheet, radiator, honeycomb, housing. Especially, radiator is composed of composite magneto-dielectric material and radiating element etched on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The radiating element is inserted into the composite magneto-dielectric material and has sloted Folded LP(Log Periodic) structure. By fabricated composite magneto-dielectric, the resonance frequency is decreased and the impedance matching characteristics is improved. We verified that the antenna has wideband characteristics and compact size using the antenna test results.

추적레이다는 표적으로부터 반사되어 돌아오는 신호 또는 질의 신호에 대한 응답 신호를 수신하여 표적을 추적하는 장비이다. 추적레이다가 표적을 추적하는 범위는 일반적으로 좁게 한정되므로 이동하는 표적을 추적하기 위해서는 먼저 안테나 빔의 지향각과 거리를 표적에 맞추고, 표적이 획득된 후에는 안테나 빔을 연속적으로 이동하는 표적을 향해 방사하여 표적을 추적하게 된다. 일반적으로 추적레이다가 표적을 추적하는 경우에는 과정 잡음과 측정 잡음에 의해서 발생되는 부정확성과 관심없는 표적이나 클러터 등으로부터 생성된 측정 근원의 부정확성으로 인한 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 표적 추적에 따른 문제를 해결하기 위해서 많은 추적 알고리듬들이 개발되어 왔다. 이 논문에서는 가장 기본적인 표준 칼만 필터와 측정 근원의 부정확성에 따른 데이터 연관 문제를 고려한 여러 추적 알고리듬에 대해서 기술하였다. 또한 한국항공우주연구원 우주센터의 우주발사체 추적용 추적레이다에 대한 간략한 설명과 우주발사체 추적에 사용되는 추적 알고리듬에 대해서 소개하였다.

Radiated emission / susceptibility performance of the KSLV-I 2nd stage which are controlled from the unit level to the system level should be examined and managed all over the frequency ranges in order to ensure the normal operation of the SC, the 1st stage of the KSLV-I, ground support equipments which are installed at the space center, and other wireless communication networks. Not only unintentional electric field emissions from the KSLV-I system and its subsystems should be restricted to the levels less than the limits specified in the EMC requirements, but also proper test and evaluation method should be established, respectively. In this paper, radiated emission/susceptibility test limits, method, and test results of the KSLV-I 2nd stage engineering model are presented.

This paper presents an RF Electric field assessment at 2.290 [GHz] inside launcher PROTON M/Breeze M long fairings, produced by COMS TM. COMS intentional RE due to TM ON under fairing has been assessed considering PROTON M / BREEZE M fairing characteristics. As fairings of all launchers present similar sizes, a similar E-field level under fairing is expected for the other launchers. As a result, the RE level under faring is compliant with COMS RS limits, but is not compliant with RS requirements of the launcher PROTON M/Breeze M.
