In recent years there has been a huge increase in demand for new various communication services due to the rapid advances in wireless communication. These new emerging services give rise to the interference with the existed radio system. As the new representative systems NGSO/MSS systems have been developed, using NGSO, especially Low Earth Orbit (LEO), satellites such as Iridium, Globalstar systems to provide the rapid transfer of information and the positioning services for the moving persons whenever they want to communicate, even if wherever they are. In this paper we have analysed on the interference between the feeder link of NGSO/MSS and M/W fixed system, that is the interference from the mobile satellite earth station into M/W station, as well as the interference from M/W station into the mobile satellite earth station, and the coordinated area.

This paper describes the development, operations, and applications of ROCSAT-l and its Ocean Color Imager (OCI) remote-sensing payload. It is the first satellite program of NSPO. The satellite was successfully launched by Lockheed Martin's Athena on January 26, 1999 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. ROCSAT-l is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) experimental satellite. Its circular orbit has an altitude of 600km and an inclination angle of 35 degrees. The satellite is designed to carry out scientific research missions, including ocean color imaging, experiments on ionospheric plasma and electrodynamics, and experiments using Ka-band (20∼30GHz) communication payloads. The OCI payload is utilized to observe the ocean color in 7 bands (including one redundant band) of Visible and Near-Infrared (434nm∼889nm) range with the resolution of 800m at nadir and the swath of 702km. It employs high performance telecentric optics, push-broom scanning method using Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) and large-scale integrated circuit chips. The water leaving radiance is estimated from the total inputs to the OCI, including the atmospheric scattering. The post-process estimates the water leaving radiance and generates different end products. The OCI has taken images since February 1999 after completing the early orbit checkout. Analyses have been performed to evaluate the performances of the instrument in orbit and to compare them with the pre-launch test results. This paper also briefly describes the ROCSAT-l mission operations. The spacecraft operating modes and ROCSAT Ground Segment operations are delineated, and the overall initial operations of ROCSAT-l are summarized.

A low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation could be used to provide network coverage for the entire globe. This study considers multi-beam frequency reuse in LEO satellite systems. In such a system, the channel is time-varying due to the fast movement of the satellite. This study proposes an efficient power and bandwidth allocation method that employs two linear machine learning algorithms and take channel conditions and traffic demand (TD) as input. With the aid of a simple linear system, the proposed scheme allows for the optimum allocation of resources under dynamic channel and TD conditions. Additionally, efficient projection schemes are added to the proposed method so that the provided capacity is best approximated to TD when TD exceeds the maximum allowable system capacity. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods.

The Electric Power Subsystem (EPS) is one of the most critical systems on any satellite because nearly every subsystem requires power. This makes the choice of power systems the most important task facing satellite designers. The main purpose of the Satellite EPS is to provide continuous, regulated and conditioned power to all the satellite subsystems. It has to withstand radiation, thermal cycling and vacuums in hostile space environments, as well as subsystem degradation over time. The EPS power characteristics are determined by both the parameters of the system itself and by the satellite orbit. After satellite separation from the launch vehicle (LV) to its orbit, in almost all situations, the satellite subsystems (attitude determination and control, communication and onboard computer and data handling (OBC&DH)), take their needed power from a storage battery (SB) and solar arrays (SA) besides the consumed power in the EPS management device. At this point (separation point, detumbling mode), the satellite's angular motion is high and the orientation of the solar arrays, with respect to the Sun, will change in a non-uniform way, so the amount of power generated by the solar arrays will be affected. The objective of this research is to select satellite EPS component types, to estimate solar array illumination parameters and to determine the efficiency of solar arrays during both detumbling and normal operation modes.

저궤도 위성은 지상과 교신할 수 있는 시간이 매우 제한되어 있으므로 위성에서 생성되는 모든 원격측정 데이터는 위성의 대용량 메모리에 저장되고 지상과 교신할 수 있는 시간에 지상으로 전송된다. 원격측정 데이터 전송은 실시간 데이터 프레임 및 대용량 메모리에 저장된 데이터 프레임을 지상으로 전송하는 것으로 실시간 데이터만을 전송하는 실시간 전송모드가 있고, 실시간 및 대용량 메모리에 저장되어 있는 플레이백 데이터를 포함한 플레이백 모드가 있다. 그리고 데이터 전송속도에 따라서 저속 전송모드와 고속 전송모드로 구분할 수 있다. 본 논문은 저궤도위성 원격측정 데이터 지상전송 관리 방식에 대한 것으로 한국항공우주연구원에서 개발된 저궤도위성의 다운링크 인터페이스 및 탑재소프트웨어의 구조에 대해서 간략히 소개하고, 위성에서 생성되는 원격측정 데이터 저장방식, 실시간 및 플레이백 데이터 지상 전송방식, 다운링크 채널 및 전송속도 제어방식 등에 대해서 기술한다.

Today, services using Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technology are provided in various fields, such as smartphone Location-Based Service (LBS) and autonomous driving. Generally, outdoor positioning techniques depend on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and the need for positioning techniques that guarantee positioning accuracy, availability, and continuity is emerging with advances in service. In particular, continuity is not guaranteed in urban canyons where it is challenging to secure visible satellites with standalone GNSS, and even if more than four satellites are visible, the positioning accuracy and stability are reduced due to multipath channels. Research using Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites is already underway to overcome these limitations. In this study, we conducted a trend analysis of LEO-PNT research, an LEO satellite-based navigation and augmentation system. Through comparison with GNSS, the differentiation of LEO-PNT was confirmed, and the system design and receiver processing were analyzed according to LEO-PNT classification. Lastly, the current status of LEO-PNT development by country and institution was confirmed.

지구관측 영상위성의 해상도는 위성에 장착된 광학카메라의 Field of View(FOV)와 위성의 임무고도에 의해 결정된다. 따라서 카메라의 FOV가 고정된 경우 해상도를 향상시키는 방법은 위성의 임무고도를 낮추는 것이다. 하지만 저고도일수록 대기저항에 의한 위성의 고도감소가 크게 나타나고 이를 보정하기 위해 많은 연료가 필요하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 초저고도에 있는 위성의 임무도 유지를 위하여 필요한 연료량 산출을 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 지구와 위성 간 2체 문제에 대기저항과 이를 보정하기 위만 주력을 고려하여 운동방정식을 세우고, Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto(LGL) points를 이용한 collocation method를 사용하였다. 지속적으로 임무고도를 유지하는 경우와 고도 상승하강 기동을 하여 임무고도를 대략 유지하는 경우에 대한 소모되는 연료량을 비하였다. 고도 상승하강 기동의 방법이 임무고도를 유지하기 위하여 더 적은 연료를 소모하였다. 고도 상승하강 기동방법을 이용할 때 고도상승의 주기 변화로 얻어지는 연료이득은 작고, 태양활동 시기나 위성의 임무고도변화는 연료 사용에 큰 영향을 끼치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 여러 가지 조건에 대한 연료소모량을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 이 연구를 통해서 얻어진 알고리즘은 위성의 저고도 유지를 위한 연료량을 산정하는데 많은 도움이 될 것이며, 임무도 설정에 있어서도 원하는 해상도와 연료량을 고려하여 최상의 선택을 할 수 있는 자료를 제공할 수 있다.

Analytical formulae are presented to approximate the evolution of the semi major axis, the maneuver time, and the final mass fraction for low thrust orbital transfers with circular initial orbit, circular target orbit, and constant thrust directed either always along or always opposite the velocity vector. For comparison, the associated results for high-thrust transfers, i.e. the two-impulse Hohmann transfer, are summarized. All results are implemented in a computer code designed to analyze planar planetary and interplanetary space missions. This implementation yields fast and reasonably accurate approximations to trajectory performance boundaries. Consequently, the approach can provide trajectory analysis for each spacecraft configuration during the conceptual space mission design phase. As an example, a mission from Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) to Jupiter's moon Europa is analyzed.

We discuss two possible optical noise sources in an electro-optic camera loaded on a low earth orbit satellite. The first noise source was a reflection at the window for signal rays incident upon the window which is placed before the FPA plane. The second noise source came from a reflection at the surface of the FPA cell when the signal flux is not entirely absorbed. We investigate the noise generation processes for two optical noise sources, and a parametric solution is used to estimate the optical noise effects.
