This paper proposes a new power-stage circuit that can be available for modularization of the power regulator which is used at the software-controlled unregulated bus system. And we analyze the proposed power-stage operation according to its operating modes and verify it by performing software simulation and hardware experiment using prototype. By constructing a parallel-module converter which is composed of proposed power-stages, we verify the operations and usefulness of the proposed power-stage.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute has developed a staged combustion cycle rocket (SCCR) engine with high specific impulse to send a 3-ton class satellite into geostationary orbit while conducting a Korean Space Launch Vehicle (KSLV) II project. The SCCR engine is different from the KSLV-II engine, which is an open cycle engine using a gas-generator. The SCCR engine with a closed cycle engine is composed of a pre-burner, a turbo pump, and a main combustor. The technology demonstration model (TDM0) was assembled and tested in the 7ton-class engine combustion test facility of Naro Space Center, and the combustion test was successfully conducted.

착륙장치는 완충장치를 이용하여 항공기 착륙 시의 충격을 흡수하는 역할을 한다. 군용 헬기를 비롯한 일부 항공기에서는 비상 착륙시 탑승원의 생존성과 안전성을 향상시키기 위해, 착륙장치에 내추락 요구조건을 부여하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 내추락 요구조건을 충족하는 다양한 착륙장치 설계 개념 가운데, 파손 장치를 이용한 전륜 착륙장치와 Blow-off 밸브를 이용한 주륜 착륙장치 설계를 제시하고, 성능해석을 통한 입증 과정을 소개한다.

The Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is a geostationary satellite being developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute. Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) is one of the payloads embarked on the COMS satellite. It acquires ocean images around Korea in 8 visible spectral bands with a spatial resolution of about 500 m. The acquired data are used to provide forecasting and now casting of the ocean state. The GOCI operations are controlled by the satellite embedded software, i.e. on-board software. This paper introduces the GOCI payload of the COMS satellite and describes the control software for the GOCI.

This technical paper deals the practical transformation algorithms between several lunar reference frames which will be used for Korea pathfinder lunar orbiter (KPLO) flight operation. Despite of various lunar reference frame definitions already exist, use of a common transformation algorithm while establishing lunar reference frame is very important for all members related to KPLO mission. This is because use of slight different parameters during frame transformation may result significant misleading while reprocessing data based on KPLO flight dynamics. Therefore, details of practical transformation algorithms for the KPLO mission specific lunar reference frames is presented with step by step implementation procedures. Examples of transformation results are also presented to support KPLO flight dynamics data user community which is expected to give practical guidelines while post processing the data as their needs. With this technical paper, common understandings of reference frames that will be used throughout not only the KPLO flight operation but also science data reprocessing can be established. It is expected to eliminate, or at least minimize, unnecessary confusion among all of the KPLO mission members including: Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as well as other organizations participating in KPLO payload development and operation, or further lunar science community world-wide who are interested in KPLO science data post processing.

The CC's main objective is to manage and control the various operation of the MSC camera. The CC has capability to control the various camera operation modes such as INIT mode, WAIT mode, STANDBY mode, READY IMAGING, DEFAULT READY IMAGING, IBIT and IMAGING mode as well as to manage the interface of the PMU. This paper also shows not only the design concepts in the both of the hardware and the operational software, but also the implementation results for the various CC functions.

In this paper we present a detail approach of the determination of IFOV (Instantaneous Field of View) of high-resolution (l m) panchromatic satellite image over test site. IFOV is the representative measurements as the determination of the spatial resolution in remote sensed imaging system. It can be defined as some area on the ground with the particular altitude when the satellite acquires the image at any given time. Especially, spatial resolution of passive sensors primarily depends on their IFOV. The determination of IFOV goes through simple steps of procedure as followings: Firstly, the GSD (Ground Sample Distance) should be computed at each point on the geometrically corrected image. Then, The GSD is converted into the IFOV. So we are going to explain our test procedures and results.

COMS (Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite) will be launch at end of year 2008. For receiving of COMS LRlT, KARl (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) finished design and software realization of COMS SDUS (Small Data Utilization System). SDUS is a small station receiving LRlT data for distribute satellite image, weather information, and so on. For the future project, KARl preparing COMS MDUS (Mass Data Utilization System) that can receiving large size of data over than 2M BPS (Bit Per Seconds) data size.

COMS (Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite) will be launch at end of year 2008. For speedy and security communication of COMS, KARl (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) decided encryption and compression design. Encryption design is based on DES (Data Encryption Standard), so that encryption key generation and management are important issues in COMS operation. And Compression is based on loss and lossless JPEG (Joint Photographic Export Group) standard. JPEG is one of generally using compression algorithm in image.
