The Grid Reference System, which was firstly used in SPOT series, has been successfully adapted in KOMPSAT-1 and KOMPSAT-2 program, which identifies the geographical location to make image collection plans and manage the database of satellite images. Each Grid Reference System for KOMPSAT-1 and KOMPSAT-2 was designed based on system parameters related to each KOMPSAT-1 and KOMPSAT-2 and this fact leads to the need for the design of the Grid Reference System for KOMPSAT-3 (KGRS-3, hereafter), which reflects system parameters for KOMPSAT-3. The (K, J) coordinate system has been defined as the Grid Reference System for KOMPSAT-3 using heritages from KOMPSAT-1 and KOMPSAT-2 programs. The numbering of K begins with the prime meridian of K = 1 with running eastward on earth increasingly, and the numbering of J uses a value of J = 1000 at all points on the equator and begin with running northward increasingly. The Grid Reference System for KOMPSAT-3 is to be implemented in Ground Segment of KOMPSAT-3 system.

This paper reports experiments and analysis work done to find out the cause of Y parallex for stereo pairs of KOMPSAT-2 images and means to improve the Y parallex problem. We could conclude that the Y parallex problem was caused by resampling errors of KOMPSAT-2 PANchromatic bands, induced by the process of warping PANchromatic band with reference to multispectral bands. We could also conclude that a rigorous warping process could improve resampling of KOMPSAT-2 PANchromatic band and remove the Y parallex problem significantly. We also confirmed that a rigorous warping process could also remove blocky brightness patterns present on KOMPSAT-2 PANchromatic band. Therefore, by implementing more rigorous warping process within KOMPSAT-2 scene generation procedures, KOMPSAT-2 geometric and radiometric quality will be improved.

This paper describes EGSE design for the small satellite such like KOMPSAT-2 satellite. Recent design trend of small satellite and EGSE is to take short development time and less cost. For this purpose, the design for KOMPSAT-2 satellite and EGSE are not much modified from KOMPSAT-1 heritage. It means that it is able to be accommodated the verified hardware and software modules used in KOMPSAT-1 satellite program if possible. The objective of EGSE is to provide hardware and software for efficient electrical testing of integrated KOMPSAT-2 satellite in three general categories. (1) Simulators for ground testing (e.g. solar-simulation power, earth scenes, horizons and sun sensor). (2) Ground station type satellite data acquisition and processing test sets. (3) Overall control of satellite using hardline datum. In KOMPSAT (KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite) program, KOMPSAT-2 EGSE was developed to support satellite integration and test activities. The KOMPSAT-2 EGSE was designed in parallel with satellite design. Consequently, the KOMPSAT-2 EGSE was based on the KOMPSAT-1 heritage since the spacecraft design followed the heritage. The KOMPSAT-2 baseline was elaborated by taking advantage of experience from KOMPSAT-1 program. The EGSE of KOMPSAT-2 design concept is generic modular design with preference in part selection with commercial off-the-shelf which were proven from KOMPSAT-1 programs, flexible/user friendly operational environment (graphical interface preferred), minimized new design and self test capability.

This paper reports the geolocation accuracy of KOMPSAT-3 imagery. KOMPSAT-3 was launched successfully on May 18, 2012 and has been released last March. In this paper, we have checked the geolocation accuracy of initial sensor model, precise sensor model and stereo-and multi-image model using four KOMPSAT-3 images covering the same area. The KOMPSAT-3 images without GCPs provided the geolocation accuracy of about 30m and the geocorrected KOMPSAT-3 images provided the geolocation accuracy of about 1m or less. KOMPSAT-3 stereo- and multi-images models yield threedimensional points with sub-meter accuracy in horizontal and vertical direction. Overall, KOMPSAT-3 showed much improved performance in terms of the geolocation accuracy over KOMPSAT-2. KOMPSAT-3 is expected to be able to replace foreign satellite data with sub-meter accuracy level for achieving accurate geometric information.

KOMPSAT-2 위성에서 사용되는 torque-rod에 각 유닛의 magnetic field가 어떤 영향을 미치는 지 분석하기 위해 유닛의 magnetic moment 값이 이용된다. KOMPSAT-2의 각 전장품들의 magnetic moment 값은 기존 KOMPSAT-1의 값에 의존하여 결정되었다 이것은 KOMPSAT-2는 KOMPSAT-1의 heritage를 따라 설계되었으며 각 전장품 역시 KOMPSAT-1의 전장품 설계를 대부분 따르고 있기 때문이다. (중략)

KOMPSAT-2 위성에서 사용되는 TAM의 정상적인 작동을 위해 각 유닛에서 생성되는 자기장(magnetic field) 값은 일정한 양 이하가 되도록 관리되고 있다. 자기장은 그 특성상 전장품 간의 거리에 반비례하며 전장품의 자기 모멘트에 비례하므로 위성체 유닛의 자기장 값을 관리하기 위해 우선 유닛의 magnetic moment 값을 구해야한다. KOMPSAT-2의 각 전장품들의 자기 모멘트 값은 기존 KOMPSAT-1의 값을 근거로 설정되었다. 이것은 KOMPSAT-2가 KOMPSAT-1의 heritage를 따라 설계되었으며 각 전장품 역시 KOMPSAT-1 전장품 설계를 대부분 따르고 있기 때문이다. 그리고 최근 EMC 해석 S/W중 magnetic moment를 전문적으로 해석해주는 tool이 출시되었다. 이 tool은 해석하고자 하는 유닛의 geometric 정보와 전류 패스를 설정하면 자기 모멘트 값을 구할 수 있는 수식을 풀어내 그 값을 알려준다. 본 논문에서는 magnetic moment 값을 구할 수 있는 수식이 이 tool에 어떻게 구현되었는지 살펴보고 실제 KOMPSAT-2의 전장품의 자기 모멘트 해석 결과를 보여준다.

KOMPSAT-2 is the second Korean earth observation satellite after KOMPSAT-l: the 1 meter GSD cartographic capability and planning to launch at the end of 2005 by ROKOT launch vehicle. The dedicated AOCS operational modes are designed for KOMPSAT-2 based on KOMPSAT-l experience All of AOCS operational modes requires gyro information. To compensate this drawback, Power Safe Mode is designed and implemented. Successfully AOCS on-board software is developed and extensively verified through a nonlinear simulation process. The simulation results of Power Safe Mode and Science Fine Submode are provided to demonstrate its functionality as well as its performance.

KOMPSAT-2 is the seventh high-resolution image satellite in the world that provides both 1m-grade panchromatic images of the GSD and 4m-grade multispectral images of the GSD. It's anticipated to be used across many different areas including mapping, territory monitoring and environmental watch. However, due to the complexity and security concern involved with the use of the MSC, the use of KOMPSAT-2 images are limited in terms of geometric images, such as satellite orbits and detailed mapping information. Therefore, this study aims to produce DEM and orthoimage by using the stereo images of KOMPSAT-2, and to explore the applicability of geo-spatial information with KOMPSAT -2. Orientation interpretations were essential for the production of DEM and orthoimage using KOMPSAT-2 images. In the study, they are performed by utilizing both RPC and GCP. In this study, the orientation interpretations are followed by the generation of DEM and orthoimage, and the analysis of their accuracy based on a 1:5,000 digital map. The accuracy analysis of DEM is performed and the results indicate that their altitudes are, in general, higher than those obtained from the digital map. The altitude discrepancies on plains, hills and mountains are calculated as 1.8m, 7.2m, and 11.9m, respectively. In this study, the mean differences between horizontal position between the orthoimage data and the digital map data are found to be ${\pm}3.081m$, which is in the range of ${\pm}3.5m$, within the permitted limit of a 1:5,000 digital map. KOMPSAT-2 images are used to produce DEM and orthoimage in this research. The results suggest that DEM can be adequately used to produce digital maps under 1:5,000 scale.
