본 논문에서는 통신위성과 비교하여 정지궤도 기상위성의 기술적 특성을 분석하고 통신 방송, 기상 및 해양관측 등 복합 임무를 수행하는 위성에서 고려하여야 할 특성을 살펴보았다. 정지궤도 기상위성은 관측자료의 국제공유를 기본으로 하고 있어 관측 및 서비스 영역이 넓으며 1km~4km 공간해상도로 관측하기 위해서는 통신위성에 비해 매우 높은 지향 정밀도가 요구된다. 또한 적외선 센서의 성능을 유지하기 위하여 극저온 열제어가 필요하며 기상 탑재체 광학부의 오염방지를 위한 설계 및 관리도 고려되어야 한다. 한편 2008년 발사를 목표로 개발될 통신해양기상위성은 복합임무를 성공적으로 수행하기 위하여 자세제어계, 전력계, 열제어계 및 전개장치 등에서 고려하여야 할 사항들을 분석하였다.

한국항공우주연구원이 개발하고 있는 통신해양기상위성은 2009년 6월경에 발사될 예정이다. 지구 자전속도와 같은 속도로 돌기 때문에 24시간 기상 및 해양관측과 통신서비스가 가능한 국내에서 개발되는 최초의 정지궤도위성이다. 2008년 11월에 프랑스에서 해양 탑재체가 들어옴으로써 세 가지 탑재체를 장착할 수 있게 되었고 그 후에는 우주환경시험 등을 거쳐서 프랑스령 기아나 우주센터에서 발사될 전망이다. 본 논문에서는 통신해양기상위성이 세계적으로도 첫 번째 정지궤도 복합위성이 되기 때문에 국내 및 세계적으로 정지궤도 복합위성과 관련된 개발 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

A strategy is needed for a regional survey of geosynchronous orbits (GSOs) to monitor known space objects and detect uncataloged space objects. On the basis of the Inter-Agency Debris Committee's recommendation regarding the protected region of geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO), target satellites with perigee and apogee of $GEO{\pm}200km$ and various inclinations are selected for analysis. The status of the GSO region was analyzed using the satellite distribution based on the orbital characteristics in publicly available two-line element data. Natural perturbation effects cause inactive satellites to drift to two stable longitudinal points. Active satellites usually maintain the designed positions as a result of regular or irregular maneuver operations against their natural drift. To analyze the detection rate of a single optical telescope, 152 out of 412 active satellites and 135 out of 288 inactive satellites in the GSO region were selected on the basis of their visibility at the observation site in Daejeon, Korea. By using various vertical view ranges and various numbers of observations of the GSO region, the detection efficiencies were analyzed for a single night, and the numbers of follow-up observations were determined. The orbital estimation accuracies were also checked using the arc length and number of observed data points to maintain the GSO satellite catalog.

In Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, satellites operate fast and the inter-satellite link change period is short. In order to sense the spectrum state in LEO satellite networks in real-time, a space-based satellite network intelligent spectrum sensing algorithm based on artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed, while Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites are introduced to make fast and effective judgments on the spectrum state of LEO satellites by using their stronger arithmetic power. Firstly, the visibility constraints between LEO satellites and GEO satellites are analyzed to derive the inter-satellite link building matrix and complete the inter-satellite link situational awareness. Secondly, an ANN-based energy detection (ANN-ED) algorithm is proposed based on the traditional energy detection algorithm and artificial neural network. The ANN module is used to determine the spectrum state and optimize the traditional energy detection algorithm. GEO satellites are used to fuse the information sensed by LEO satellites and then give the spectrum decision, thereby realizing the inter-satellite spectrum state sensing. Finally, the sensing quality is evaluated by the analysis of sensing delay and sensing energy consumption. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has lower complexity, the sensing delay and sensing energy consumption compared with the traditional energy detection method.

현재까지 국내에서 궤도 상의 자국 우주 물체를 지상에서 추적할 수 있는 시스템은 한국천문연구원에서 개발 중인 우주물체 전자광학 감시체계가 유일하다. 이 시스템은 자국 저궤도 위성의 궤도력 산출과 현재 대한민국에 할당된 정지궤도 영역을 감시하는 기능을 보유하고 있다. 그러나 관측 대상이 확대되고 운영 조건의 변화에 따라, 국내 정지궤도 영역 상시감시가 가능한 저예산 보조관측 시스템은 전체 우주 감시시스템의 매우 효율적인 운영을 지원할 수 있다. 따라서 저예산 시스템의 관측정밀도 저하에 따른 궤도력 산출의 위험도 증가를 억제할 수 있는, 지구 정지궤도 영역 상시 감시용 전용 광학관측 시스템의 요구사항을 분석했다.

This study presents signal availability of inter-operable global navigation satellite system (multi-GNSS) combined with future Korean Positioning System (KPS), specifically at geosynchronous orbit (GSO). The orbit of KPS, which is currently under conceptual feasibility study, is first introduced, and the grid points for evaluating space service volume (SSV) at GSO are generated. The signal observabilities are evaluated geometrically between those grid points and KPS/GNSS satellites. Then, analyzed are the visibility averaged over time/space and outage time to not access one or four signals. The reduction of maximum outage time induced by KPS are presented with different maximum off-boresight angles depending on L1/E1/B1 and L5/L3/E5a/B2 frequencies. Our numerical analysis shows that the SSV of multi-GNSS combined with KPS provides up to 7 additional signals and could provide continuous observation time (zero outage time) of more than four GNSS or KPS signals for 3.20-14.83% of SSV grid points at GSO. Especially at GSO above North/South America and Atlantic region, the introduction of KPS reduces the outage duration by up to 63 minutes with L1/E1/B1 frequency.

A satellite communication (Satcom) antenna mounted on a moving platform provides a controlled heading that enables a geosynchronous satellite to communicate with the ground. A monopulse tracking method is effective for antenna control on a vehicle when it vibrates severely. However, this method has unexpected obstacles and its control performance is insufficient. To improve its control performance, the control command and monopulse error, the signal delay, and the radome effect are evaluated through tests. The authors then propose a method to transform the antenna error from 3D coordinates to 2D antenna coordinates. As a result, the antenna control performance is improved. As indicated in this study, examining antenna systems using the monopulse method on moving platforms is possible by understanding the antenna test process.

This research proposes the best combination of tropospheric delay models for Korean Positioning System (KPS). The overall results are based on real observation data of Japanese Quasi-Zenith satellite system (QZSS), whose constellation is similar to the proposed constellation of KPS. The tropospheric delay models are constructed as the combinations of three types of zenith path delay (ZPD) models and four types of mapping functions (MFs). Two sets of International GNSS Service (IGS) stations with the same receiver are considered. Comparison of observation residuals reveals that the ZPD models are more influential to the measurement model rather than MFs, and that the best tropospheric delay model is the combination of GPT3 with 5 degrees grid and Vienna Mapping Function 1 (VMF1). While the bias of observation residual depends on the receivers, it still remains to be further analyzed.

This paper presents an algorithm for Real-Time Orbit Determination (RTOD) of navigation satellites for the Korean Regional Navigation Satellite System (KRNSS), when the navigation satellites generate ephemeris by themselves in abnormal situations. The KRNSS is an independent Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS) that is currently within the basic/preliminary research phase, which is intended to provide a satellite navigation service for South Korea and neighboring countries. Its candidate constellation comprises three geostationary and four elliptical inclined geosynchronous orbit satellites. Relative distance ranging between the KRNSS satellites based on Inter-Satellite Ranging (ISR) is adopted as the observation model. The extended Kalman filter is used for real-time estimation, which includes fine-tuning the covariance, measurement noise, and process noise matrices. Simulation results show that ISR precision of 0.3-0.7 m, ranging capability of 65,000 km, and observation intervals of less than 20 min are required to accomplish RTOD accuracy to within 1 m. Furthermore, close correlation is confirmed between the dilution of precision and RTOD accuracy.
