The satellite telecommand processing system is the only way to provide telecommands for status monitoring, control, and mission execution. Domestic satellites can be divided into science, technology, and multi-purpose satellites, and geostationary satellites. These Satellites uses CCSDS standard protocol to communicate with ground stations. However, existing domestic satellites use only software to decode telecommands which increases cost of software development and verification of the developed software. Performance of software only approach is relatively low compared to hardware. In this paper, we present ASIC processing system specifically designed to decode telecommands. The system consists of a telecommand RAM, a protocol RAM/ROM, an ASIC, an interface unit of FPGA, and a relay block. The system handles general commands and pulse commands that are used in satellites. We established a ground station equipment and test environment to verify the system functionality, The result shows that our system reduces the development cost by 1/5 and improves the performance by 10⁵ times compared to the previous systems that decode telecommands only by software.

Traditionally, the concept of transfer is that physical records such as paper documents, videos, photos are made a delivery to Archives or Records centers on the basis of transfer guidelines. But, with the automation of records management environment and spreading new records creation and management applications, we can create records and manage them in the cyberspace. In these reasons, the existing transfer system is that we move filed records to Archives or Records centers by paper boxes, needs to be changed. Under the needing conditions of a new transfer paradigm, the fact that the revision of Records Act that include some provisions about electronic records management and transfer, is desirable and proper. Nevertheless, the electronic transfer provisions are too conceptional to apply records management practice, so we have to develop detailed methods and processes. In this context, this paper suggest that a electronic records transfer process model on the basis of international standard and foreign countries' cases. Doing transfer records is one of the records management courses to use valuable records in the future. So, both producer and archive have to transfer records itself and context information to long-term preservation repository according to the transfer guidelines. In the long run, transfer comes to be the conclusion that records are moved to archive by a formal transfer process with taking a proper records protection steps. To accomplish these purposes, I analyzed the 'OAIS Reference Model' and 'Producer-Archive Interface Methodology Abstract Standard-CCSDS Blue Book' which is made by CCSDS(Consultative committee for Space Data Systems). but from both the words of 'Reference Model' and 'Standard', we can understand that these standard are not suitable for applying business practice directly. To solve this problem, I also analyzed foreign countries' transfer cases. Through the analysis of theory and case, I suggest that an Electronic Records Transfer Process Model which is consist of five sub-process that are 'Ingest prepare ${\rightarrow}$ Ingest ${\rightarrow}$ Validation ${\rightarrow}$ Preservation ${\rightarrow}$ Archival storage' and each sub-process also have some transfer elements. Especially, to confirm the new process model's feasibility, after classifying two types - one is from Public Records center to Public Archive, the other is from Civil Records center to Public or Civil Archive - of Korean Transfer, I made the new Transfer Model applied to the two types of transfer cases.

As part of its space development program, Korea has a plan for the launch of a lunar orbiter and a lunar lander. To enable the transmission of lunar information based on multimedia, it is necessary to construct a communication system that is capable of transmitting large-volume telemetry data. The CCSDS standard recommends the deferred NAK mode as ARQ scheme for reliable long-distance deep-space communication systems. In this paper, we implement a space communication system simulator in the deferred NAK mode using models of the lunar orbiter, the earth station, and the space environment. The simulator employs modulation techniques and turbo coding schemes for transmitting large-volume telemetry data. We analyze the transmission performance of telemetry data through the simulation.

Telemetry system is a communication system that measures and transmits various signals in the aircraft to the ground for collecting and monitoring flight data during the development of unmanned air vehicle and satellite launch vehicles. With the recent development of wireless communication technology, it is becoming important to apply encryption of telemetry system to prepare with security threats that may occur during flight data transmission. In this paper, we suggested and implemented the application method of ARIA-256, Korean standard encryption algorithm, to apply encryption to telemetry system. In consideration of the block error propagation and the telemetry frame characteristics, frame is encrypted using the CTR mode and can apply the Reed-solomon codes recommended by CCSDS. ARIA algorithm and cipher frame are implemented in FPGA, and simulation and hardware verification system confirmed continuous frames encryption.

By automatically generating HDL codes from C/C++ source codes, HLS makes it possible to shorten FPGA system developing period through easy timing control and structure change. We designed LDPC encoder for telemetry standard 106-17 with Xilinx Vivado HLS and showed hardware structure can be easily adapted for different purposes through minor C code modification. Synthesis results targeting Spartan-7 xc7s100 device are presented for throughput and hardware complexity comparison.

In this paper, a brief but essential development strategy for the lunar orbit determination system is discussed to prepare for the future Korea's lunar missions. Prior to the discussion of this preliminary development strategy, technical models of foreign agencies for the lunar orbit determination system, tracking networks to measure the orbit, and collaborative efforts to verify system performance are reviewed in detail with a short summary of their lunar mission history. Covered foreign agencies are European Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Indian Space Research Organization and China National Space Administration. Based on the lessons from their experiences, the preliminary development strategy for Korea's future lunar orbit determination system is discussed with regard to the core technical issues of dynamic modeling, numerical integration, measurement modeling, estimation method, measurement system as well as appropriate data formatting for the interoperability among foreign agencies. Although only the preliminary development strategy has been discussed through this work, the proposed strategy will aid the Korean astronautical society while on the development phase of the future Korea's own lunar orbit determination system. Also, it is expected that further detailed system requirements or technical development strategies could be designed or established based on the current discussions.

(255,223) RS(Reed-Solomon) code which is the CCSDS(Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) standard was used in the STSAT-3 to correct errors during the downlink of payload data. The RS encoder developed by VHDL was implemented in MMU(Mass Memory Unit). Moreover, the RS decoder developed by C-language was implemented in the DRS(Data Receiving System) of ground station. In this paper, we reported the design and analysis results of RS(255,223) for STSAT-3. The BER(Bit Error Rate) performance from MMU to DRS was confirmed through the downlink test at 16 Mbps. Also, the error correction performance and capability of RS(255,223) was tested by the manual attenuation of the RF(Radio Frequency) signal in the X-band transmitter resulting in putting some errors in the communication line.

위성체 총조립 및 시험(AIT ; Assembly, Integration & Test)을 위한 전기지상지원장비(EGSE ; Electrical Ground Support Equipment)와 위성 임무 준비 및 운용을 위한 관제시스템(MCS ; Mission Control System)의 공동 개발은 미국과 유럽의 위성사업 기관 및 업체에서 지금까지 많은 연구가 되어 왔다. 비록 두 시스템이 다른 목적으로 사용되고 있지만 기술적으로 유사한 기능을 갖는 시스템으로서 많은 공통점과 호환 가능성을 갖고 있다. 두 시스템의 공동 개발은 시스템 개발과 위성 운용 교육 및 준비에 필요한 비용 절감뿐만 아니라 AIT 단계에서 위성운용단계로의 자연스러운 전환이 가능하다. 이는 AIT 단계에서 공통지상시스템 하드웨어 및 운영시스템, 시험/운용 절차서, 위성 데이터베이스의 사전 검증이 이루어지기 때문이다. 또한 위성 운용 요원의 AIT 참여를 통해 공통지상시스템 운용 훈련과 위성 관제 지식 습득이 자연스럽게 이루어 질 수 있다. 이로서 사업 일정과 개발 위험도를 최소화 할 수 있다. 이러한 두 시스템의 공통성과 호환성 및 공통시스템 개발 장점이 있기에 EGSE와 MCS의 공통 기능에 대한 표준화 작업은 1986년 만들어진 COES(Committee for Operations and EGSE Standard)에서 공식적으로 논의되기 시작하여 1994년 CNES와 ESA의 발의로 제정된 ECSS(European Cooperation for Space Standards)를 통해 국제 표준(ISO, CCSDS 등)을 바탕으로 한 지상시스템에 대한 유럽 표준화 작업이 ECSS-E-70 Working Group에서 진행되고 있다. 또한 검증된 지상시스템의 핵심 운영시스템의 소프트웨어 모듈의 재사용을 통해 최근에서 다양한 공통지상시스템이 개발되어 운용되고 있다. 이러한 배경으로 국내에서도 저궤도 위성 개발에서 EGSE 핵심 모듈인 TM/TC 처리 및 Database 관리 모듈을 AIT 단계에서 개발 및 검증 후에 MCS에서의 재사용을 적극적으로 고려하고 있다. 앞으로 국제적인 추세에 따라 AIT 및 지상국간의 기술 및 인력 교류와 핵심모듈 개발을 통한 공통지상시스템 개발의 활발한 전개가 예상된다.

Although the EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment) and MCS (Mission Control System) have many similar or even identical functions, the EGSE used for assembly, integration and validation phase and the MCS for the mission operations phase are normally developed separately and used by different groups of engineers. However, the common ground system for EGSE and MCS has developed and many space missions such as PROBA (PRoject for On-Board Autonomy), ROSETTA, MARS EXPRESS, CRYOSAT (Cryosphere Satellite), GOCE (Gravity field and steady state Ocean Circulation Explorer), and GALILEO have used or will use it to minimize risk, reduce cost and improve overall product quality. It is based on ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standards) E70 which is the international standard for ground systems and operations published by ECSS E70 Working Group. The ECSS E70 contains the basic rules, principles and requirements applied to the engineering of the ground systems and the execution of mission operations. This paper introduces standardization policy, organization and standard documentation in ECSS. The overview of ECSS E70 such as status, purpose and contents is also described in this paper.
