  • 본 연구에서는 고밀도 해면고도 자료를 이용하여 모든 스펙트럼에 걸쳐 정밀도가 향상된 해면고도와 중력이상을 계산하였다. 평형 위성궤도상의 해면고도 자료에 주파수 영역에서의 상관계수를 이용한 필터를 적용하여 표층 지각구조에 의한 중력 시그날을 추출하였다. 교점오차를 보정하여 편향 위성궤도 오차를 수정하였으며 그 결과로 상향및 하향궤도별로 격자상의 중력 시그날을 계산하였다. 또한 방향성 제거 필터를 사용하여 잔재하는 방향성 궤도오차를 수정하였다. 그 결과에 dynamic sea surface topography를 제거하면 지오이드가 되는데 이 지오이드에 gradient 필터를 적용하여 고분해능 중력이상값을 계산하였다. 이 방법들을 약 $900km\;\times{1,200}\;km$지역의 Geosat Geodetic Mission 자료에 적용하여 약 10 km의 분해능을 갖는 지오이드와 중력이상을 계산하였다, 정확한 선상중력 자료와 least squares collection에 의한 중력이상, 그리고 NOAA의 중력이상값들과 비교, 검토하였다 약 1,600 km에 걸쳐 150 mgal의 중력변화가 있는 선상중력 측선에서 , 본 연구 결과의 중력이상값과 고정밀도 선상중력값을 비교한 결과, 차이의 평균은 0.1 mgal, RMS는 3.5 mgal, 그리고 최대차이는 10.2 mgal과 -18.6 mgal이고, 상관계수는 0.993이었다.

  • A collision-free formation reconfiguration trajectory subject to the linearized Hill's dynamics of relative motion is analytically developed by extending an algorithm for gravity-free space. Based on the initial solution without collision avoidance constraints, the final solution to minimize the designated performance index and avoid collision is found, based on a gradient method. Simple simulations confirm that satellites reconfigure their positions along the safe trajectories, while trying to spend minimum energies. The algorithm is applicable to wide range of formation flying under the Hill's dynamics.

  • 히스테리시스 댐퍼를 조합한 영구자석과 중력붐을 적용한 수동형 자세제어 안정화 방식은 시스템의 단순화가 가능하여 임무목적에 따라 큐브위성의 자세제어에 용이하게 적용되고 있다. 상기의 자세제어 안정화 방식을 적용한 경우, 큐브위성의 자세 프로파일은 상이하며, 본 논문에서는 각각의 자세제어 방식 적용에 따른 큐브위성의 열적 특성을 궤도 열해석을 통해 분석하였다. 또한, 통신용 안테나 장착 등의 목적으로 태양전지셀이 장착되지 않는 판넬 표면의 상이한 열코팅 적용에 따른 큐브위성의 열적 영향을 분석하였다.

  • This paper is devoted to investigate the feasibility of using a medium power ground-based laser to produce a torque on LEO satellites of various shapes. The laser intensity delivered to a satellite is calculated using a simple model of laser propagation in which a standard atmospheric condition and linear atmospheric interaction mechanism is assumed. The laser force is formulated using a geocentric equatorial system in which the Earth is an oblate spheroid. The torque is formulated for a cylindrical satellite, spherical satellites and for satellites of complex shape. The torque algorithm is implemented for some sun synchronous low Earth orbit cubesats. Based on satellites perigee height, the results demonstrate that laser torque affecting on a cubesat has a maximum value in the order of $10^{-9}$ which is comparable with that of solar radiation. However, it has a minimum value in the order of $10^{-10}$ which is comparable with that of gravity gradient. Moreover, the results clarify the dependency of the laser torque on the orbital eccentricity. As the orbit becomes more circular it will experience less torque. So, we can conclude that the ground based laser torque has a significant contribution on the low Earth orbit cubesats. It can be adjusted to obtain the required control torque and it can be used as an active attitude control system for cubesats.

  • 본 연구는 저궤도의 태양동기궤도 위성에 미치는 외란 토크의 크기와 영향을 해석하였다. 위성체 좌표계에서 보았을 때, 지구 지향 자세에서 최대 토크는 약 $8.3{\times}10^{-4}$ Nm로 한 궤도당 약 1.4 Nms 의 모멘텀이 축적되고, 태양지향 자세에서의 최대 토크는 약 $1.6{\times}10^{-3}$ Nm로 한 궤도당 약 3.0 Nms 의 모멘텀이 축적된다. 한 궤도당 축적되는 모멘텀의 양은 토커의 크기를 결정하는 설계 기준 자료로 사용되는데, 현재 사용 가능한 자기 토커의 한 궤도당 모멘텀 덤핑 용량을 고려했을 때, 위성의 임무 수행을 위해 적절한 선택임을 확인하였다.

  • An Unscented Kalman Filter(UKF) for estimation of attitude and rate of a spacecraft using only magnetometer vector measurement is presented. The dynamics used in the filter is nonlinear rotational equation which is augmented by the quaternion kinematics to construct a process model. The filter is designed for low Earth orbit satellite, so the disturbance torques include gravity-gradient torque, magnetic disturbance torque, and aerodynamic drag. The magnetometer measurements are simulated based on time-varying position of the spacecraft. The filter has been tested not only in the standby mode but also in the detumbling mode. To stabilize the attitude, linear PD controller is applied and the actuator is assumed to be thruster. A Monte-Carlo simulation has been done to guarantee the stability of the filter performance to the various initial conditions. The UKF performance is compared to that of EKF and it reveals that UKF outperforms EKF.

  • An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for estimation of the attitude and rate of a spacecraft using only magnetometer vector measurement is developed. The attitude dynamics used in the estimation is the nonlinear Euler's rotational equation which is augmented with the quaternion kinematics to construct a process model. The filter is designed for small satellite in low Earth orbit, so the disturbance torques include gravity-gradient torque, magnetic disturbance torque, and aerodynamic drag torque. The magnetometer measurements are simulated based on time-varying position of the spacecraft. The filter has been tested not only in the standby mode but also in the detumbling mode. Two types of actuators have been modeled and applied in the simulation. The PD controller is used for the two types of actuators (reaction wheels and thrusters) to detumble the spacecraft. The estimation error converged to within 5 deg for attitude and 0.1 deg/s for rate respectively when the two types of actuators were used. A joint state parameter estimation has been tested and the effect of the process noise covariance on the parameter estimation has been indicated. Also, Monte-Carlo simulations have been performed to test the capability of the filter to converge with the initial conditions sampled from a uniform distribution. Finally, the UKF performance has been compared to that of the EKF and it demonstrates that UKF slightly outperforms EKF. The developed algorithm can be applied to any type of small satellites that are actuated by magnetic torquers, reaction wheels or thrusters with a capability of magnetometer vector measurements for attitude and rate estimation.
