  • Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) is a first Korean Lunar exploration mission. KPLO is equipped with four payloads in Korea and one payload in United States. KMAG is one of Korean payloads to measure the Moon's magnetic field. Moon has a no dipole magnetic field such as earth's global magnetic field. But there are many curious crustal magnetic anomalies. these features still do not well understood. This is a main scientific objective of KMAG payload and the study of space environment around moon is a second objective. KMAG has three magnetometers which are mounted in the edge of the 1.2 meter boom. This paper shows a KMAG's requirements, instrument description, and a preliminary function test results.

  • In this paper, I briefly introduce recently terminated, current, and future scientific spacecraft missions for in situ and remote-sensing observations of Earth's and other planetary magnetospheres as of February 2023. The spacecraft introduced here are Geotail, Cluster, Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms / Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence, and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun (THEMIS / ARTEMIS), Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS), Exploration of energization and Radiation in Geospace (ERG), Cusp Plasma Imaging Detector (CuPID), and EQUilibriUm Lunar-Earth point 6U Spacecraft (EQUULEUS) for recently terminated or currently operated missions for Earth's magnetosphere; Lunar Environment Heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI), Gateway, Solar wind Magneto-sphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE), HelioSwarm, Solar-Terrestrial Observer for the Response of the Magnetosphere (STORM), Geostationary Transfer Orbit Satellite (GTOSat), GEOspace X-ray imager (GEO-X), Plasma Observatory, Magnetospheric Constellation (MagCon), self-Adaptive Magnetic reconnection Explorer (AME), and COnstellation of Radiation BElt Survey (CORBES) approved for launch or proposed for future missions for Earth's magnetosphere; BepiColombo for Mercury and Juno for Jupiter for current missions for planetary magnetospheres; Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) and Europa Clipper for Jupiter, Uranus Orbiter and Probe (UOP) for Uranus, and Neptune Odyssey for Neptune approved for launch or proposed for future missions for planetary magnetospheres. I discuss the recent trend and future direction of spacecraft missions as well as remaining challenges in magnetospheric research. I hope this paper will be a handy guide to the current status and trend of magnetospheric missions.

  • This paper Presents a discussion on the design and realization for the Phase Sensitive Defector (PSD) circuitry of Flu$\chi$-gate Compass that gives direction information to the Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording (DIFAR) Sonobuoy in Air Anti-Submarine Warfare. PSD circuitry is realized with Twin-T RC networked active band-pass filter. Results of a performance test the PSD circuitry shows that the effectiveness of band-pass filtering of desired $2F_0$ second harmonic signal, which is Pro- portional to the direction of earth's magnetic field. This resulted in the extraction of direction information.

  • We have been unwittingly exposed to magnetic field. Biological effects due to electromagnetic field exposure has been studied over the past several decades. There has been epidemiological studies and laboratory studies. In the case of laboratory studies, the effect has been observed through the cell stimulation of an artificial magnetic field. The used frequency and waveform are various in the cell experiment, but the intensity of the magnetic field is usually around 10G. Intensity of Earth's magnetic field is about 300-400mG. Although this intensity is not much higher than artificial magnetic field as 3-4% amplitude, we can't ignore the effect because every living thing on earth has already adapted for long time ago. In this study, we have designed and implemented the 3-axis magnetic field generation system in oder to remove the static magnetic field in the real-time and kept its intensity less than ${\pm}5mG({\pm}0.5uT)$ using 3-axis helmholtz coil.

  • An autopilot system of a ship is very important for a safe and convenient navigation, which is realized with getting an azimuth data from a gyrocompass, a magnetic compass and a GPS(Global Positioning System) compass. Magnetic compass an azimuth error is generated by a vessel magnetism material such as steels. The magnetic pole is detected by the magnetic field sensor, it does not coincide with the true north, therefore, the detected azimuth data can not but accompany error. In this paper, in order to detect the minimum change of azimuth data which generates errors of azimuth information, a search algorithm using the Kalman Filtering method is utilized. The digital electronic compass is designed with the integration algorithm using the merits of an earth's magnetic field sensor and a GPS receiver.

  • Earth currents with 10~20 ${\mu}A$ flow due to a magnetic induction by large currents flowing through the ionosphere. In order to measure the behaviour of ionosphere indirectly, earth currents will be measured and the results will be reported.
