누리호의 성공과 차세대 우주발사체의 개발 목표를 통하여 국내 정지궤도위성 발사능력은 1톤에서 3.7톤으로 향상될 것으로 기대되며 화성, 소행성 등의 우주탐사에도 1톤 이상의 실질적인 능력을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 예측된다. 고흥 우주발사장은 태양 동기궤도 소형위성에 최적화되어 있으며 타국의 영공을 침범하지 않아야 된다는 필수적인 전제조건으로 인하여 정지궤도위성 발사장으로는 다소 부족한 면이 존재한다. 초기 궤도 투입상태로부터 궤도면 회전을 위한 에너지의 증가가 필수적이며 운용 측면에서의 복잡성과 함께 경제성의 감소요인이 된다. 그러므로 차세대 우주발사체의 개발과 병행하여 지구 적도부근의 해외 지상발사장 또는 해상발사지점의 획득과 최적화된 정지궤도위성 투입에 관한 궤도 구성에 관한 연구가 계속되어야 한다.

임의의 순간 인공위성의 위치와 속도를 정밀하게 계산하기 위해서는 섭동력을 일으키는 우주공간의 환경을 정확하게 이해하고 분석하여 정량화함으로써 섭동력에 대한 수리적인 모형을 만들어야 한다. 이들 우주환경모델에 의해서 인공위성이 받는 총가속도는 2계 미분방정식으로 표현되며, 이 방정식을 두 번 적분함으로써 원하는 시각에서의 인공위성의 위치와 속도를 얻는 코웰방법을 사용하여 궤도예측 알고리즘을 완성하였다. 정지위성의 궤도에 미치는 주요한 섭동력으로는 지구의 비대칭 중력 포텐셜에 의한 섭동력, 태양과 달의 중력에 의한 섭동력, 태양의 복사압에 의한 섭동력들이 있는데, 그것들의 정밀성을 최대한 높이기 위해 spherical harmonic 계수들을 40 $\times$ 40까지 적용할 수 있도록 했으며, JPL DE 403 ephemeris의 polynomial 내삽을 통해 지구로부터 태양과 달까지의 거리를 정밀하게 계산하였다. 그리고 수치적분 방법으로는 적분간격을 자동으로 조절하는 8계 Runge-Kutta single step 방법을 사용하였다.

Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is planned to be launched onto Geostationary Earth Orbit in 2008. The meteorological imager (MI) is one of COMS payloads and has 5 spectral channels to monitor meteorological phenomenon around the Korean peninsular intensively and of Asian-side full Earth disk periodically. The MI has on-board radiometric calibration capabilities called 'blackbody calibration' for infrared channels and 'space look' for infrared/visible channels, and radiometric response stability monitoring device called 'albedo monitor' for visible channel. Additionally the MI has on-board function called 'electrical calibration' for the check of imaging path electronics of both infrared and visible channels. The characterization of MI performance is performed to provide the pre-launch radiometric calibration data which will be used for in-orbit radiometric calibration with the on-board calibration outputs. The radiometric calibration of the COMS MI is introduced in the view point of instrument side in terms of in-orbit calibration devices and capabilities as well as the pre-launch calibration activities and expected outputs.

저궤도위성 통신시스템의 경우, 정지 궤도 위성 통신시스템과 달리 지상 기기 기준 상대적으로 고속 기동하여 움직이며, 지상 기기와 이루는 각도 역시 고정되지 않고 넓은 범위에서 가변적으로 되므로 지상에 존재하는 건물, 산 등과 같은 지형물의 위치 및 높이에 따라 위성 통신 시스템임에도 불구하고 다중 경로로 인한 주파수 선택적 페이딩 현상이 나타날 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 저궤도위성 통신시스템에서 발생할 수 있는 저궤도 다중 경로 페이딩 위성 채널 모델과 저궤도위성의고속기동으로 발생하는 도플러 주파수 천이에 대하여 분석하고, 이를 기반으로 다중 경로 페이딩 위성 채널 모델에 적합한 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 및 SC-FDE(Single Carrier Frequency Domain Equalizer) 전송 방식에 대하여 효과적인 등화 기법을 제시한다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 제시된 등화 기법이 적용된 OFDM 및 SC-FDE 전송방식의 저궤도 다중경로 페이딩 위성 채널 환경에서의 성능을 모의실험을 통하여 비교 분석하였으며, SC-FDE 방식이 OFDM 방식보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

This study presents the application of satellite laser ranging (SLR) to orbit determination (OD) of high-Earth-orbit (HEO) satellites. Two HEO satellites are considered: the Quasi-Zenith Satellite-1 (QZS-1), a Japanese elliptical-inclinedgeosynchronous-orbit (EIGSO) satellite, and the Compass-G1, a Chinese geostationary-orbit (GEO) satellite. One week of normal point (NP) data were collected for each satellite to perform the OD based on the batch least-square process. Five SLR tracking stations successfully obtained 374 NPs for QZS-1 in eight days, whereas only two ground tracking stations could track Compass-G1, yielding 68 NPs in ten days. Two types of station bias estimation and a station data weighting strategy were utilized for the OD of QZS-1. The post-fit root-mean-square (RMS) residuals of the two week-long arcs were 11.98 cm and 10.77 cm when estimating the biases once in an arc (MBIAS). These residuals were decreased significantly to 2.40 cm and 3.60 cm by estimating the biases every pass (PBIAS). Then, the resultant OD precision was evaluated by the orbit overlap method, yielding three-dimensional errors of 55.013 m with MBIAS and 1.962 m with PBIAS for the overlap period of six days. For the OD of Compass-G1, no station weighting strategy was applied, and only MBIAS was utilized due to the lack of NPs. The post-fit RMS residuals of OD were 8.81 cm and 12.00 cm with 49 NPs and 47 NPs, respectively, and the corresponding threedimensional orbit overlap error for four days was 160.564 m. These results indicate that the amount of SLR tracking data is critical for obtaining precise OD of HEO satellites using SLR because additional parameters, such as station bias, are available for estimation with sufficient tracking data. Furthermore, the stand-alone SLR-based orbit solution is consistently attainable for HEO satellites if a target satellite is continuously trackable for a specific period.

Satellite optical communication has gained significant attention owing to its many quality features (e.g., a larger bandwidth, license free spectrum, higher data rate, and better security) compared to satellite microwave communication. Various experiments have been performed during many space missions to demonstrate and characterize inter-satellite links, downlinks, and uplinks. Korea has also planned to establish an experimental communication system using a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite and the Geochang station as an optical ground station for low Earth orbit (LEO)-to-ground optical relay links. In this study, the performance of inter-satellite communication links and downlinks was investigated for the new Korean experimental communication system in terms of link margin, bit error rate (BER), and channel capacity. In particular, the performance of the inter-satellite links was analyzed based on the receiving apertures and the transmitting power, while that of the downlink was analyzed in terms of atmospheric turbulence conditions and transmitting power. Finally, we discussed two system parameters of receiving aperture and transmitting power to meet the three criteria of link margin, BER, and channel capacity.

고정밀 태양센서는 인공위성의 자세제어에 중요 센서로서, 위성으로 입사되는 태양 빛의 방향을 측정하거나 위성이 태양을 보지 못하는 상태에 있는지를 판단하기 위해서 사용되고 있다. 또한 정지궤도 위성에서는 전이궤도 및 임무궤도 상에서 기준 자세로 부터 벗어난 자세오차 정보를 획득하기 위해서 또는 이상 발생 시 태양벡터를 획득하기 위해서 고정밀 태양센서를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성과 정지궤도 위성용 고정밀 태양센서의 형상에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 태양의 입사각에 대한 출력 전류 관계를 나타내는 전달 함수를 이용하여 고정밀 태양센서 운용 원리를 설명한다.

Several optical monitoring strategies by a ground-based telescope to protect a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite from collisions with close approaching objects were investigated. Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) objects, Inclined GeoSynchronous Orbit (IGSO) objects, and drifted GEO objects forced by natural perturbations are hazardous to operational GEO satellites regarding issues related to close approaches. The status of these objects was analyzed on the basis of their orbital characteristics in Two-Line Element (TLE) data from the Joint Space Operation Center (JSpOC). We confirmed the conjunction probability with all catalogued objects for the domestic operational GEO satellite, Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) using the Conjunction Analysis Tools by Analytical Graphics, Inc (AGI). The longitudinal drift rates of GeoSynchronous Orbit (GSO) objects were calculated, with an analytic method and they were confirmed using the Systems Tool Kit by AGI. The required monitoring area was determined from the expected drift duration and inclination of the simulated target. The optical monitoring strategy for the target area was analyzed through the orbit determination accuracy. For this purpose, the close approach of Russian satellite Raduga 1-7 to Korean COMS in 2011 was selected.

Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) has issued the tropical storm(typhoon) warning or advisories when it was developed to tropical storm from tropical depression and a typhoon is expected to influence the Korean peninsula and adjacent seas. Typhoon information includes current typhoon position and intensity. KMA has used the Dvorak Technique to analyze the center of typhoon and it's intensity by using available geostationary satellites' images such as GMS, GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R since 2001. The Dvorak technique is so subjective that the analysis results could be variable according to analysts. To reduce the subjective errors, QuikSCAT seawind data have been used with various analysis data including sea surface temperature from geostationary meteorological satellites, polar orbit satellites, and other observation data. On the other hand, there is an advantage of using the Subjective Dvorak Technique(SDT). SDT can get information about intensity and center of typhoon by using only infrared images of geostationary meteorology satellites. However, there has been a limitation to use the SDT on operational purpose because of lack of observation and information from polar orbit satellites such as SSM/I. Therefore, KMA has established Advanced Objective Dvorak Technique(AODT) system developed by UW/CIMSS(University of Wisconsin-Madison/Cooperative Institude for Meteorological Satellite Studies) to improve current typhoon analysis technique, and the performance has been tested since 2005. We have developed statistical relationships to correct AODT CI numbers according to the SDT CI numbers that have been presumed as truths of typhoons occurred in northwestern pacific ocean by using linear, nonlinear regressions, and neural network principal component analysis. In conclusion, the neural network nonlinear principal component analysis has fitted best to the SDT, and shown Root Mean Square Error(RMSE) 0.42 and coefficient of determination($R^2$) 0.91 by using MTSAT-1R satellite images of 2005. KMA has operated typhoon intensity analysis using SDT and AODT since 2006 and keep trying to correct CI numbers.
