CEU(Camera Electronic Unit) loaded in optical satellite for a high resolution image acquisition is composited with CC(Camera Controlloer), FPA(Focal Plane Assembly) and CEUP(CEU Power supply). EMC test and analysis results are explained in this paper. CE, CS, RE and RS test is performed in the 1st EMC test, RE, RS test which is not complied and influence considerably after shielding structure is performed in the 2nd EMC test. An effect due to the noise of CEU in the GPS/S-band receiving band is analyzed based on 2nd EMC test results. Margin more than 6dB is guaranteed when CEU is shielded.

In this study, we reviewed the variations of GSD, line rate of a electro-optical payload caused by the changes of operational altitude and attitude of a satellite by applying design parameters of the EC6 which is under development. we also reviewed adjustable increments/decrements of line_rate which are limited by CEU(Camera Electronic Unit) design and then the effect on the MIF(Modulation Transfer Function) performance due to the un-synchronization between line_rate of EOS and ground scan velocity of the satellite based on the design parameters of CEU to show that CEU design is appropriate in terms of line_rate control of EOS.

In the development of a electronic system for a optical payload comprising mainly EOS(Electro-Optical Sub-system) and PDTS(Payload Data Transmission Sub-system), many aspects should be investigated and discussed for the easy implementation, for th e higher reliability of operation and for the effective ness in cost, size and weight as well as for the secure interface with components of a satellite bus, etc. As important aspects the interfaces between a satellite bus and a payload, and some design features of the CEU(Camera Electronics Unit) inside the payload are described in this paper. Interfaces between a satellite bus and a payload depend considerably on whether t he payload carries the PMU(Payload Management Un it), which functions as main controller of the Payload, or not. With the PMU inside the payload, EOS and PDTS control is performed through the PMU keep ing the least interfaces of control signals and primary power lines, while the EOS and PDTS control is performed directly by the satellite bus components using relatively many control signals when no PMU exists inside the payload. For the CEU design the output channel configurations of panchromatic and multi-spectral bands including the video image data inter face between EOS and PDTS are described conceptually. The timing information control which is also important and necessary to interpret the received image data is described.

The CCD (Charge coupled device) detector that is used to convert the light into electronic data is very important component in satellite camera. A Linear CCD Spectral detector shall be used in the MSC (Multi-Spectral Camera, to obtain data for high-resolution images) Payload. In this paper, the design concept of the CCD detector control module in the MSC CEU (Camera electronic unit) system which will be a payload on KOMPSAT is described in terms of H/W (clock speed and accuracy).

In MSC(Multi-spectral camera ), the incoming light is converted to electronic analog signals by the CCD(charge coupled device) detectors. The analog signals are amplified, biased and converted into digital signals (pixel data stream) in the FPE(Focal plane electronics ). The digital data is transmitted to the PMU for pre-processing to correct for nonuniformity, to partially reorder the pixel stream and to add header data for identification and synchronization In this paper, the video data streams is described in terms of hardware.

The MSC is a payload on the KOMPSAT-2 satellite to perform the earth remote sensing. The instrument images the earth using a push-broom motion with a swath width of 15 km and a GSD(Ground Sample Distance) of 1 m over the entire FOV(Field Of View) at altitude 685 km. The instrument is designed to haute an on-orbit operation duty cycle of 20% over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain/offset and on-board image data compression/storage. The MSC instrument has one channel for panchromatic imaging and four channel for multi-spectral imaging covering the spectral range from 450nm to 900nm using TDI(Time Belayed Integration) CCD(Charge Coupled Device) FPA(Focal Plane Assembly). The MSC hardware consists of three subsystem, EOS(Electro Optic camera Subsystem), PMU(Payload Management Unit) and PDTS(Payload Data Transmission Subsystem) and each subsystems are currently under development and will be integrated and verified through functional and space environment tests. Final verified MSC will be delivered to spacecraft bus for AIT(Assembly, Integration and Test) and then COMSAT-2 satellite will be launched after verification process through IST(Integrated Satellite Test). In this paper, the introduction of MSC, the configuration of MSC electronics including electrical interlace and design of CEU(Camera Electronic Unit) in EOS are described. MSC Operation parameters induced from the operation concept are discussed and analyzed to find the influence of system for on-orbit operation in future.
