  • Computing environment of space explorer including LEO (Low Earth Orbit), GEO (Geosynchronous Earth Orbit) satellite may be considered as the same category of embedded system on the ground. But with comparison with personal computing environment it is widely accepted that the space computing is outdated and behind of state of the art. Especially file system which is nearly essential item in all ground computing environment including personal computer, workstation and server is rarely used in space explorer till lately. In this paper, a study of ESA PUS (Packet Utilization Standard) and CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) community's activity, international trend, and applicable technical application for applying file system in oder to use these standards for utilizing the file system to deep space explorer is described.

  • The Engineering Test Satellite VIII(ETS-VIII) of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA) uses a 20mN class xenon ion engine subsystem(IES) for North-South Station Keeping(NSSK). The IES was modified for a larger satellite with longer lifetime based on the former IES. ETS-VIII, a three-ton class geosynchronous satellite with 10 years bus lifetime, was launched 18 Dec. 2006 JST; it reached the planned orbit and all bus systems were checked out. The IES showed good results and is now under normal operation. The total accumulated operation time of the IES in orbit was about 2300 hours till $19^{th}$ Dec. 2007.

  • 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.

  • Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) is developing COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) which is scheduled to take off in June, 2009. COMS is the first geosynchronous satellite developed in Korea which is able to perform three missions 24 hours a day. The oceanic payload was transferred from France to Korea in November, 2008 and made it possible to integrate all three payload together. After the integration COMS is planned to be transferred to Guiana Space Center (on French territory) to be launched. In this paper the trend of domestic and international development of the multi-purpose geosynchronous satellite considering the COMS is the first operational geosynchronous multipurpose satellite in the world.

  • For a geostationary satellite north-south keeping maneuver must control the inclination elements. The effects on the orbit plane of maneuvers and natural perturbations may be represented by a plane plot of Wc versus, Ws, since these inclination elements represent the projection of the major axis and the inclination elements are obtained.

  • For a geostationary satellite east-west station keeping maneuvers must control both the mean longitude and the orbit eccentricity simultaneously. The effect on the orbit eccentricity of maneuvers may be reprensented by a phse plane of $e_{c}$ verse $e_{s}$, since these eccentricity elements give the projection of the orbit center onto the equatorial plane in units of the semimajor axis. The evolution of the mean longitude and the orbit eccentricity are obtained.
