In this study, a new idea for developing a space scale for measuring mass in a microgravity environment was proposed by using the inertial force properties of an object to measure its mass. The space scale detected the momentum change of the specimen and reference masses by using a load-cell sensor as the force transducer based on Newton's laws of motion. In addition, the space scale calculated the specimen mass by comparing the inertial forces of the specimen and reference masses in the same acceleration field. By using this concept, a space scale with a capacity of 3 kg based on the law of momentum conservation was implemented and demonstrated under microgravity conditions onboard International Space Station (ISS) with an accuracy of ${\pm}1g$. By the performance analysis on the space scale, it was verified that an instrument with a compact size could be implemented and be quickly measured with a reasonable accuracy under microgravity conditions.

국제우주정거장에서 화재발생은 승선한 승무원들의 생명과 직접적으로 연관된 사안이므로 선실내부에서 언제든지 발생할 수도 있는 화재의 초기 감지 및 진화는 우주정거장의 운영에 있어서 중요한 기술 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 국제우주정거장에서 각종 실험과 연구를 진행하는 가압모듈을 대상으로 환기, 연기거동 및 감지에 관한 수치모델링을 수행하였다. 수치모델링은 NIST에서 개발된 FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulator)를 사용하였으며, 부력이 작용하지 않는 국제우주정거장 내부의 무중력환경에서 발생된 화재의 연기거동패턴은 지상에서의 현상들과 큰 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 아울러 가압모듈에서 적용되고 있는 환기조건을 고려하여 수행된 연기거동 및 감지특성에 대한 수치 모델링 결과는 향후 무중력환경에 노출된 수 있는 우주선이나 대형우주구조물의 화재검출장비의 설계를 위한 기초적인 자료를 제공함은 물론 승선하게될 우주인이나 승무원들의 훈련자료로도 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the relationship between the results of the analysis of the overseas railroad station buildings, which was conducted using the factors of environmental cognition for the purpose of designing an interior environment for the Incheon International Airport Railroad station that will be newly constructed, and the plan that could be applied to the design of interior environment for the airport railroad station. The station with a complex interior space layout and relatively larger space tends to be difficult to predict or forecast passenger's needs or recognition element in approaching stage of intoner environment design since the human's biological memory system is greatly affected by such factors. Cognitive approach at empirical standpoint would possibly create the design, of which elements will Implement the functions of their own as such approach enables necessary information to be structured in a systematical way and manner In implementing interior environment design for such stations to be built for the first time in Korea, behavioral approach based on systematic theory proved to be very crucial. Under such a background, the study was aimed at extracting the assessment elements for interior environment design, then setting the frame of cognitive approach to eventually propose the guideline in approaching to interior environment design.

화재는 인류가 우주 여행을 하거나 우주에서 체류하고자 할 경우, 특히 조심해서 신경을 써야 할 부분이다. 지구상에서와는 달리, 우주에서는 화재를 피하여 외부로 도망을 칠 수도 없고, 진화를 위해 소방서에 도움을 요청할 수도 없다. 따라서 최선책은 화재를 미연에 방지하는 것이 될 것이다. 그러나, 우주에서는 화재가 발생하였을 때, 그 화염의 행태가 지구상에서와는 다른 양상을 띄게 된다. 그 이유는, 지구상에 있는 모든 물질에 작용하는 중력이 우주에서는 없거나 작기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 미소 중력하에서의 화염의 행태에 대하여 중요한 부분의 연구 결과를 소개하고, 이에 근거하여 유인 우주 탐사선과 우주 정거장 등에서 화염을 방지, 감지, 진화하는 연구에 대하여 미국 NASA의 FPDS 프로그램을 바탕으로 하여 소개하였다.

인간이 지구를 벗어난 우주 공간, 태양계 내의 천체(예, 달, 화성 등) 등에서 안전하게 생활하기 위해서는 반드시 환경제어 및 생명유지시스템 기술이 필요하다. 생명유지시스템은 일반적으로 공기관리시스템, 물정화시스템, 폐기물관리시스템 등으로 구성되며, 우주공간의 밀폐된 주거지에서 인간의 호흡 활동과 일상생활이 가능하도록 해준다. 본 논문에서는 우선 미국 항공우주국(NASA) 주도로 개발되어 온 생명유지시스템의 개발 동향을 소개하였다. 그리고, 현재 국제우주정거장(ISS)에서 운용 중인 생명유지시스템의 현황에 대하여 살펴보고, 국내 개발 동향도 조망해 보았다.

The Accurate Ranging System for Geodetic Observation - Mobile (ARGO-M) was successfully developed as the first Korean mobile Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) system in 2012, and has joined in the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) tracking network, DAEdeoK (DAEK) station. The DAEK SLR station was approved as a validated station in April 2014, through the ILRS station "data validation" process. The ARGO-M system is designed to enable 2 kHz laser ranging with millimeter-level precision for geodetic, remote sensing, navigation, and experimental satellites equipped with Laser Retro-reflector Arrays (LRAs). In this paper, we present the design and development of a next generation high-repetition-rate SLR system for ARGO-M. The laser ranging rate up to 10 kHz is becoming an important issue in the SLR community to improve ranging precision. To implement high-repetition-rate SLR system, the High-repetition-rate SLR operation system (HSLR-10) was designed and developed using ARGO-M Range Gate Generator (A-RGG), so as to enable laser ranging from 50 Hz to 10 kHz. HSLR-10 includes both hardware controlling software and data post-processing software. This paper shows the design and development of key technologies of high-repetition-rate SLR system. The developed system was tested successfully at DAEK station and then moved to Sejong station, a new Korean SLR station, on July 1, 2015. HSLR-10 will begin normal operations at Sejong station in the near future.

In this paper, a method of station keeping strategy using relative orbital motion and numerical optimization technique is presented for geostationary satellite. Relative position vector with respect to an ideal geostationary orbit is generated using high precision orbit propagation, and compressed in terms of polynomial and trigonometric function. Then, this relative orbit model is combined with optimization scheme to propose a very efficient and flexible method of station keeping planning. Proper selection of objective and constraint functions for optimization can yield a variety of station keeping methods improved over the classical ones. Nonlinear simulation results have been shown to support such concept.
