According to the National Space Program of Korea, KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) has been developing a large space simulator (working dimension; $\Phi8m\;\times\;L10m$) to verify the performance of future large satellites under the space environment conditions. Especially, a very low temperature condition of space will be simulated by shrouds covering the inside surface of the vessel. The surface of shrouds will be cooled down to 17K by liquid nitrogen (LN2) from ambient temperature and hence, an optimal LN2 circulation system design is necessary to remove gaseous nitrogen (GN2) sufficiently and maintain the shrouds at the LN2 temperature.

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a remote sensing technique capable of measuring ground surface deformation with sub-centimeter precision and spatial resolution in tens-of-meters over a large region. This paper highlights our on-going investigations of Aleutian volcanoes with SAR images acquired from European ERS-1 and ERS-2, Canadian Radarsat-l, and Japanese JERS-l satellites.

The effect of Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) observations on the short-range forecast in East Asia (EA) was investigated for the Northern Hemispheric (NH) summer and winter months, using the Forecast Sensitivity to Observations (FSO) method. For both periods, the contribution of radiosonde (TEMP) to the EA forecast was largest, followed by AIRCRAFT, AMSU-A, Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), and the atmospheric motion vector of Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) or Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT). The contribution of AMSU-A sensor was largely originated from the NOAA 19, NOAA 18, and MetOp-A (NOAA 19 and 18) satellites in the NH summer (winter). The contribution of AMSU-A sensor on the MetOp-A (NOAA 18 and 19) satellites was large at 00 and 12 UTC (06 and 18 UTC) analysis times, which was associated with the scanning track of four satellites. The MetOp-A provided the radiance data over the Korea Peninsula in the morning (08:00~11:30 LST), which was important to the morning forecast. In the NH summer, the channel 5 observations on MetOp-A, NOAA 18, 19 along the seaside (along the ridge of the subtropical high) increased (decreased) the forecast error slightly (largely). In the NH winter, the channel 8 observations on NOAA 18 (NOAA 15 and MetOp-A) over the Eastern China (Tibetan Plateau) decreased (increased) the forecast error. The FSO provides useful information on the effect of each AMSU-A sensor on the EA forecasts, which leads guidance to better use of AMSU-A observations for EA regional numerical weather prediction.

To use the Global Positioning System (GPS) carrier phase measurement for precise positioning, the integer ambiguities at the early stage of most algorithms must be determined. Furthermore, if a precise positioning is to be applied to real time navigation, fast determination and validation methods for integer ambiguity are essential. In this paper, the Wald test that simultaneously determines and validates integer ambiguities is used with assistance of the Inertial Navigation System (INS) to improve its performance. As the Wald test proceeds, it assigns a higher probability to the candidate that is considered to be true at each time step. The INS information is added during the Wald test process. Large performance improvements were achieved in convergence time as well as in requiring fewer observable GPS satellites. To test the performance improvement of the Wald test with the INS information, experimental tests were conducted using a ground vehicle. The vehicle moved in a prescribed trajectory and observed seven GPS satellites. To verify the effect of the INS information on the Wald test, the convergence times were compared with cases that considered the INS information and cases that did not consider the INS information. The results show that the benefits of using the INS were emphasized as fewer GPS satellites were observable. The performance improvement obtained by the proposed algorithm was shown through the fast convergence to the true hypothesis when using the INS measurements.

광범위한 지역을 관측하기 위한 많은 종류의 위성들이 발사되어 지구를 관측하고 있다. 이러한 위성들은 영상정보 이외에 천체력 자료, RPC 계수 등과 같은 위성궤도와 관련 정보들을 제공하고 있다. 위성에서 제공하는 이러한 궤도정보를 활용할 경우 영상의 가하보정에 요구되는 기준점을 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 RADARSAT-l SAR 위성영상을 대상으로 동일궤도에서 촬영된 다중 위성영상들의 효과적인 기하보정을 위하여 기준영상에서 단일기준점 및 천제력자료를 활용하여 위성궤도를 모델링하고, 이를 기반으로 동일궤도상에서 취득된 인접영상의 기하보정기법을 기술하였다. 정확도 평가를 위해서 본 연구에서 제시한 기법으로 생성된 기하보정영상을 Erdas Imagine에서 처리한 기하보정영상과 비교하여 정확도를 평가하였다.

Minimum-time attitude maneuvers of three-axis stabilized spacecraft are presented to study the feasibility of using three magnetic torquers perform large angle maneuvers. Previous applications of magnetic torquers have been limited to spin-stabilized satellites or supplemental actuators of three axis stabilized satellites because of the capability of magnetic torquers to produce torques about a specific axes. The minimum-time attitude maneuver problem is solved by applying a parameter optimization method for orbital cases to verify that the magnetic torque system can perform as required. Direct collocation and a nonlinear programming method with a constraining method by Simpson's rule are used to convert the minimum-time maneuver problems into parameter optimization problems. An appropriate number of nodes is presented to find a bang-bang type solution to the minimum-time problem. Some modifications in the boundary conditions of final attitude are made to solve the problem more robustly and efficiently. The numerical studies illustrate that the presented method can provide a capable and robust attitude reorientation by using only magnetic torquers. However, the required maneuver times are relatively longer than when thrusters or wheels are used. Performance of the system in the presence of errors in the magnetometer as well as the geomagnetic field model still good.

대형위성과 달리 나노위성이나 마이크로위성과 같은 소형위성의 경우, 전장품을 장착하기 위한 위성 내부 공간은 극히 제한되어 있다. 이러한 문제를 완화하기 위해 나노위성 HAUSAT-2는 대부분의 서브시스템과 탑재체의 전장모듈들을 통합한 일체형 위성 버스전장박스(BEU)를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 개발된 버스전장박스의 설계, 환경시험 결과 및 성능 분석에 대해 기술하였다.

After the removal of SA (Selective Availability), horizontal accuracy of 25m(2dRMS) is easily obtained using GPS (Global Positioning System). In this paper, the error characteristics without SA are analyzed and a navigation algorithm concerns this error characteristics is proposed to further improve the accuracy. The proposed method utilizes the relationship between elevation angle and errors that are remained after ionospheric and troposheric delay compensation. The relationship is derived from real measurements and used as a weighting matrix of weighted least squares estimator. Furthermore, a RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) technique is included to remove abnormal measurements affected by multi-path or low SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio). It is shown that using the proposed method, more than 4 times accurate result, which is comparable with DGPS (Differential GPS), can be obtained from experiments with real data. Besides accuracy and reliability, the proposed method reduces large jumps in position and maintains better performance than a method using mask angle to completely remove satellites below this mask angle. Thus it is expected that the proposed method can be efficiently applied to land navigation where some satellites are blocked by building or forest.
