  • 본 논문에서는 태양동기성 유지 및 지상궤적 반복이 요구되는 위성의 궤도 설계 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 특히, 위성 궤도 해석 및 공학 문제에서 빈번하게 사용되는 상용소프트웨어 (STK, MATLAB)를 활용한 "비선형 시뮬레이션 기반 수치 최적화" 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 설계 과정에서 위성에 미치는 다양한 교란력을 고려함으로써, 태양 동기성과 지상궤적 반복과 같은 임무 요구 사항을 더 정확하게 만족할 뿐만 아니라, 위성 지방시 변화 최소화, 특정 지상국과 접촉 시간 최대화와 같이 실제 위성 운용시 현실적으로 요구되는 사항을 설계에 반영할 수 있다. 저궤도 태양동기궤도 위성을 대상으로 설계 예제를 제시하였고, 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하였다.

  • This paper describes attitude determination algorithm for the low earth orbit(LEO) spacecraft using stellar inertial sensors. The cascaded gyro/star tracker extended Kalman filter is constructed to fuse two sensor data. And then the smoothing of the measurement are proposed for an unreasonable jump of star tracker. The smoothing algorithm for the rejection of star tracker error jumps is designed by scalar adaptive filter. The proposed algorithms operate to process the measurement of gyro/star tracker Kalman filter, therefore, it is comparatively simple to apply these methods to other integration systems. Simulations to gyro/star tracker integrated system show that the proposed method is effective.

  • 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.

  • This paper presents the on-board attitude determination algorithm for LEO (Low Earth Orbit) three-axis stabilized spacecraft. Two advanced star trackers and a three-axis Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) are assumed to be attitude sensors. The gyro in the IRU provides a direct measurement of the attitude rates. However, the attitude estimation error increases with time due to the gyro drift and noise. An update filter with measurements of star trackers and/or sun sensor is designed to update these gyro drift bias and to compensate the attitude error. Kalman Filter is adapted for the on-board update filter algorithm. Simulation results will be presented to investigate the attitude pointing performance.

  • Operational orbit determination (OOD) depends on the capability of generating accurate prediction of spacecraft ephemeris in a short period. The predicted ephemeris is used in the operations such as instrument pointing and orbit maneuvers. In this study the orbit prediction problem consists of the estimating diverse arc length orbit using GPS navigation data, the predicted orbit for the next 48 hours, and the fitted 30-hour arc length orbits of double differenced GPS measurements for the predicted 48-hour period. For 24-hour orbit arc length, the predicted orbit difference from truth orbit was 205 meters due to the along-track error. The main error sources for the orbit prediction of the Low Earth Orbiter (LEO) satellite are solar pressure and atmosphere density.

  • This paper addresses the enhancement of long-endurance solar-powered aircraft through the integration of a rechargeable battery and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller. Traditional long-endurance aircraft often rely on non-renewable energy sourcessuch as batteries orjetfuel, contributing to carbon emissions. The proposed system aims to mitigate these environmental impacts by harnessing solar energy and efficiently managing its storage and utilization. The MPPT controller optimizes the power output of photovoltaic cells, enabling simultaneous charging and discharging of the battery for propulsion and servo control. A prototype is presented to illustrate the practical implementation and functionality of the proposed design, marking a promising step towards more sustainable and enduring solar-powered flight.

  • 일반적으로 롤/요 평면상의 nutation 운동이 있는 피치 모멘텀 바이어스 시스템을 정지궤도 위성인 통신위성에서 주로 사용되어 왔으나 본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성의 경우에 대해 최소 휠 개수인 2개 반작용휠로 구성된 피치 모멘텀 바이어스 시스템을 휠 모멘텀 제어방식으로 피치축과 롤축 자세제어를 수행하는 방안을 살펴보았다. PI-제어기를 사용한 휠 모멘텀 제어 방식의 경우 휠 베어링 마찰 등 반작용휠에 가해지는 외란에 대한 강건성 보장을 해석적으로 분석하였으며, 롤축 자세에러 측정치와 요축 모멘텀 선형 제어기 설계를 위한 전달함수를 제시하였고, 시스템에 대한 이해도를 높이고, 외란 영향 및 모멘텀 바이어스 크기 등 필요한 설계 인자 선정을 위해 시스템에 대한 분석을 수행하였다.아울러 요축 모멘텀 PID-제어기를 사용한 모멘텀 바이어스 시스템의 롤/요축 자세제어 설계결과 및 시뮬코타키나발루레이션 결과를 제시하였다.

  • 인공위성이 더욱 복잡해 감에 따라 예측할 수 없는 실패의 발생은 설계의 부적당성, 경험 부족, 문제인식 부족, 빈약한 품질제어 능력, 부적당한 시험 또는 작업자의 실수 등 때문에 늘어나고 이들은 위성의 임무 수명을 단축시킬 수 있다. 본 고에서는 위성의 일반적인 실패유형과 임무수명 인자에 대해 검토하고, 지구 및 해양관측 임무를 갖고 있는 태양동기 저궤도위성인 다목적 실용위성에 대한 임무수명인자를 조사하고 실제 예상되는 위성의 임무수명을 예측하였다. 임무수명의 예측 시 랜덤하게 발생하는 실패에 의한 수명의 중단은 예측할 수 없는 것이기 때문에, 여기서는 주로 예측이 가능한 마모에 의한 대표적인 임무수명 인자 예를 들어, 전력 버짓, 추진제 버짓, 배터리 충 방전 사이클, 복사환경의 영향, 탑재체의 신뢰도, 단일 점 실패, 위성 여유 분을 등을 조사하고 개략적인 수명을 예측하였다.

  • In the satellite camera, the incoming light source is converted to electronic analog signals by the electronic component for example CCD (Charge Coupled Device) detectors. The analog signals are amplified, biased and converted into digital signals (pixel data stream) in the video processor (A/Ds). The outputs of the A/Ds are digitally multiplexed and driven out using differential line drivers (two pairs of wires) for cross strap requirement. The MSC (Multi-Spectral Camera) in the KOMPSAT-2 which is a LEO spacecraft will be used to generate observation imagery data in two main channels. The MSC is to obtain data for high-resolution images by converting incoming light from the earth into digital stream of pixel data. The video data outputs are then MUXd, converted to 8 bit bytes, serialized and transmitted to the NUC (Non-Uniformity Correction) module by the Hotlink data transmitter. In this paper, the video data streams, the video data format, and the image data processing routine for satellite camera are described in terms of satellite camera control hardware. The advanced satellite with very high resolution requires faster and more complex image data chain than this algorithm. So, the effective change of the used image data chain and the fast video data transmission method are discussed in this paper

  • ETRI has successfully completed and delivered to KARI the KOMPSAT Mission Control System. This system was designed to work in the conventional TT&C modulation scheme with the pre-assigned frequencies. As a way to accelerate in catching up with future TT&C technology evolutions, a preliminary study needs to be carried out to prepare for the development of a spread spectrum applicable to TT&C. A brief study was carried out to review some points to be considered in designing and implementing spread spectrum schemes to the ground TT&C system intended for a LEO spacecraft. Also a simulation and link design revisit was performed to see the operational and technical benefits with the KOMPSAT TT&C parameters. An experiment concept is proposed to test as many functions at a time once the prototype is developed. In this configuration, a ground-model TT&C transponder is connected via LAN to the ETRI-developed KOMPSAT S/W simulator and linked to the KOMPSAT TM/TC processing s/w via spread spectrum signals through a GEO satellite bent-pipe link. A satellite data relay link simulation could be carried out in this configuration.
