We developed a software for simulations and analyses of the Image Navigation and Registration (INR) system, and compares the characteristics of Image Motion Compensation (IMC) algorithms for the INR system. According to the orbit errors and attitude errors, the capabilities of the image distortions are analyzed. The distortions of images can be compensated by GOES IMC algorithm and Modified IMC (MIMC) algorithm. The capabilities of each IMC algorithm are confirmed based on compensated images. The MIMC yields better results than GOES IMC although both the algorithms well compensate distorted images. The results of this research can be used as valuable asset to design of INR system for the Communication, Ocean, Meteorological Satellite (COMS).

This paper presents a preliminary study of a convergent divergent nozzle in an afterburning turbofan engine of a supersonic aircraft engine. In order to design a convergent divergent nozzle, cycle model of a low bypass afterburning turbofan engine of which thrust class is 29,000 lbf at a sea level static condition is established. The cycle analysis at the design point is conducted by Gasturb 12 software and one dimensional gas properties at a downstream direction of the turbine are obtained. The dimension and configuration of an model turbofan engine are derived from take-off operation with wet reheat condition. The off-design cycle calculation is conducted at the all flight envelope on the maximum flight Mach number of 2.0 and maximum flight altitude of 15,000 m.

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.

G-code, another name of ISO6983, has been a popular commanding language for operating machine tools. This G-code, however, limits the usage of today's fast evolving high-performance hardware. For intelligent machines, the communications between machine and CAD/CAM departments become important, but the loss of information during generating G-code makes the production department isolated. The new standard for operating machine tools, named STEP-NC is just about to be standardized as ISO14649. As this new standard stores CAD/CAM information as well as operation commands of CNC machines, and this characteristic makes this machine able to exchange information with other departments. In this research, the new CNC machine operated by STEP-NC was built and tested. Unlike other prototypes of STEP-NC milling machines, this system uses the STEP-NC file in XML file form as data input. This machine loads information from XML file and deals with XML file structure. It is possible for this machine to exchange information to other databases using XML. The STEP-NC milling machines in this research loads information from the XML file, makes tool paths for two5D features with information of STEP-NC, and machines automatically without making G-code. All software is programmed with Visual $C^{++}$, and the milling machine is built with table milling machine, step motors, and motion control board for PC that can be directly controlled by Visual $C^{++}$ commands. All software and hardware modules are independent from each other; it allows convenient substitution and expansion of the milling machine. Example 1 in ISO14649-11 having the full geometry and machining information and example 2 having only the geometry and tool information were used to test the automatic machining capability of this system.

The Fly-By-Wire(FBW) flight control system is essential to improve the stability and flying quality of the helicopter. Advanced aerospace companies, such as Bell-Sikorsky (USA) and NHI (European Consortium), have already applied the FBW flight control system to manufacture V-22 and NH-90 helicopters, respectively. This paper addresses the development of control law design using model inversion method improve the hover and low speed handling qualities of helicopter based on BO-105 model in 'Day' and 'Degraded visual environments(DVEs)' in accordance with ADS-33E-PRF. Design parameters are optimized to satisfy the handling qualities specification using Control Designer's Unified Interface (CONDUIT) commercial control law software. The result of the analysis based on CONDUIT and non-real time simulation in-house software, HETLAS (HElicopter Trim Linearization And Simulation) reveals that the provides an efficient mean to achieve Level 1 handling qualities.

In a Satellite communication system, a link budget analysis is the detailed investigation of signal gains and losses moving through a channel from a sender to receiver. It inspects the fading of passed on data signal waves due to the process of spreading or propagation, including transmitter and receiver antenna gains, feeder cables, and related losses. The extent of the proposed tool is to make an effective, efficient, and user-friendly approach to calculate link budget analysis. It is also related to the satellite communication correlation framework by building up a graphical interface link analysis tool utilizing STK^® software with the interface of C# programming. It provides better kinds of graphical display techniques, exporting and importing data files, printing link information, access data, azimuth-elevation-range (AER), and simulation is also possible at once. The components of the link budget analysis tool include transmitter gain, effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP), free space loss, propagation loss, frequency Doppler shift, flux density, link margin, elevation plot, etc. This tool can be useful for amateur users (e.g., CubeSat developers in the universities) or nanosat developers who may not know about the RF communication system of the satellite and the orbital mechanics (e.g., orbit propagators) principle used in the satellite link analysis.

The fiber reinforced composite material is widely used in the multi-industrial field where the weight reduction of the infrastructure is demanded because of their high specific modulus and specific strength. It has two main merits which are to cut down energy by reducing weight and to prevent explosive damage preceding to the sudden bursting which is generated by the pressure leakage condition. Therefore, Pressure vessels using this composite material in comparison with conventional metal vessels can be applied in the field such as defense industry, aerospace industry and rocket motor case where lightweight and the high pressure are demanded. In this paper, for nonlinear finite element analysis of E-glass/epoxy filament winding composite pressure vessel receiving an internal pressure, the standard interpretation model is developed by using the ANSYS, general commercial software, which is verified as the accuracy and useful characteristic of the solution based on Auto LISP and ANSYS APDL. Both the preprocessor for doing exclusive analysis of filament winding composite pressure vessel and postprocessor that simplifies result of analysis have been developed to help the design engineers.

Lustre is a scalable, distributed file system, which is popular in the field of high-performance computing. Recently, the advent of SSD has enabled high-performance storage hardware, but software development requires further improvement. In this paper, we analyzed performance of the Lustre system using SSD via extensive experimentation. We compared performance of Lustre on SSDs and HDDs in terms of file read/write throughputs and metadata access latencies. Our experimental results showed that 1) SSDs improve metadata access performance due to fast random read/write access of SSD characteristics, and 2) SSD are benefited to a greater extent under multiple threads and large numbers of small sized files.

Since 2014, MOLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport) is carrying out a KASS project to develop and construct Korean SBAS. KASS can cause damage of human & properties if it has some problem during operation. Therefore, system safety assessment for KASS development is very important. Principal point of system safety assessment is the allocation of DAL(design assurance level) based on the hazard identification and classification. In this parer, the author conducts the allocation of DAL for KASS & its sub-systems based on the international standard(SAE ARP4761), which suggests a best practice of aviation system safety assessment. The result of this paper are the first step of system safety assessment, and can be used for further system safety assessment of KASS project.

Integrating computer-aided design with computer-aided fabrication and construction will fundamentally redefine the relationship between design and construction. Rapid prototyping(RP) is evaluated as one of the integration method available but it has been regarded as very expensive and complex design evaluation tool and is only suitable for large mechanical design shops in automobile and aerospace industry. However current status of rapid prototyping is changing since the new generation of RP equipment, less expensive and more user-friendlier, now can be installed and use in design firms. Simultaneously increasing use of 3D CAAD software is also helping to use rapid prototyping widely. It is crucial to acknowledge rapid prototyping technologies are not only for avant-garde architect such as Frank O. Gehry but ordinary 90% architects, who can have benefit from fast and cost-effective technology. With its fast development and adaptation in architectural industry, it is quite necessary to include rapid prototyping education in regular CAAD courses either undergraduate or graduate level.
