  • We had research to conduct interrelationships between sensors using postprocessing analysis with the Fuzzy-Kalman Filtering Auto-Correlation about Real Time Simulator data of the NaroSC LCS in case of a fully blind situation scenario. The conducted interrelations are same harmony with relations in scenario. We had analyzed signals of sensors reverse-using a optimization character of Fuzzy-Kalman Filter. As our research conclusion, We had recognized possibilities of signal processing about the KSLV-1, on-board payloads, general equipments of ground support which apply to multi sensor systems.

  • The Korean launch vehicle (KSLV-II) has used commercial aviation jet fuel, Jet A-1. Fuel specifications were introduced from Jet A-1 specifications. However, specifications and inspection methods of moisture and particulate matters were changed digitally for convenience and accuracy. To control fuel quality, a fuel management system was established to determine suitability by inspecting it at each stage of warehousing, storage, and application. An analysis room was then established at the Naro Space Center. The possibility of fuel mixing was blocked by warehousing inspection. Long-term component changes were then observed by storage inspection. Finally, suitability of the engine test or the launch vehicle test was determined through application inspection. Long-term analysis verified that the space center's fuel oil storage method was appropriate and that the quality management system was able to handle hundreds of engine tests and several flight tests.

  • In KSLV-I launch mission, real-time data from the tracking stations are acquired, processed and distributed by the Mission Control System to the user group who needed to monitor processed data for safety and flight monitoring purposes. The processed trajectory data by the mission control system is sent to each tracking system for target designation in case of tracking failure. Also, the processed data are used for decision making for flight termination when anomalies occur during flight of the launch vehicle. In this paper, we propose the processing mechanism of slaving data which plays a key role of launch vehicle tracking mission. The best position data is selected by predefined logic and current status after every available position data are acquired and pre-processed. And, the slaving data is distributed to each tracking stations through time delay is compensated by extrapolation. For the accurate processing, operation timing of every procesing modules are triggered by time-tick signal(25ms period) which is driven from UTC(Universial Time Coordinates) time. To evaluate the proposed method, we compared slaving data to the position data which received by tracking radar. The experiments show the average difference value is below 0.01 degree.

  • BITSE is a balloon mission, which is a solar coronagraph to measure speed and temperature of the solar wind using 4 different wavelength filters and an pixelated polarization camera. KASI and NASA jointly designed, developed, and tested the solar coronagraph. Mainly KASI developed an imaging system and a control system, and NASA developed an optical system and mechanical structures. We mount the BITSE on Wallops Arc-Second Pointer (WASP) of Wallops Flight Facility, and launch it with a 39 mcf balloon of Columbia Scientific Ballon Facility. We will introduce the overall system of the BITSE.

  • Telemetry data is very important for the Launch Mission and Flight Safety Control during the Space Launch. In Naro Space Center, several telemetry stations such as a small station in the NARO space center, two stations in Jeju and a downrange station on a ship are deployed for the stable acquisition/receiving of the telemetry signals. In this paper, the Link Margin and Reliability for the telemetry are analyzed to evaluate the probability of the signal receiving of each station. Even though the proper analysis is to using the on-board EIRP(Effective Isotropic Radiation Power) values in the direction of the ground station considering the predicted flight trajectory and the locations of the stations, the global EIRP of 95% spatial coverage has been used for the analysis, due to the limitation of the available data.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of real-time visual feedback weight shift training during golf swinging on golf performance. Design: Repeated-measures crossover design. Methods: Twenty-sixth amateur golfers were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: The golf swing training with real-time feedback on weight shift (experimental group) swing training on the Wii balance board (WBB) by viewing the center of pressure (COP) trajectory on the WBB. All participants were assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The general golf swing training group (control group) performed on the ground. The golf performance was measured using a high-speed 3-dimensional camera sensor which analyses the shot distance, ball velocity, vertical launch angle, horizontal launch angle, back spin velocity and side spin velocity. The COP trajectory was assessed during 10 practice sessions and the mean was used. The golf performance measurement was repeated three times and its mean value was used. The assessment and training were performed at 24-hour intervals. Results: After training sessions, the change in shot distance, ball velocity, and horizontal launch angle pre- and post-training were significantly different when using the driver and iron clubs in the experimental group (p<0.05). The interaction time${\times}$group and time${\times}$club were not significant for all variables. Conclusions: In this study, real-time feedback training using real-time feedback on weight shifting improves golf shot distance and accuracy, which will be effective in increasing golf performance. In addition, it can be used as an index for golf player ability.

  • MEMS solid thruster module is composed of solid thruster and its control board. It was developed for the purpose of an academic research. Therefore, thermo-mechanical design and verification for space usage were not considered in the design phase. To mount it on a cube satellite without any design modification, technical efforts at the system level structure design is required. In this study, we proposed a structural design concept to mount the MEMS thruster module by using brackets for guaranteeing structure safety under launch loads and easier mating and de-mating of MEMS thruster module during test phase. The effectiveness of the design has been verified through structural analysis and vibration test. In addition, electrical connection method using spring pins between MEMS thruster and control board is effective for guaranteeing the structural safety under launch vibration loads.

  • The development of a low earth orbit microsatellite is recognized as a good means of enhancing the technological capability, to gain experience and to train engineers to acquire knowledge and experience in space systems. Most developed countries in space technology do not allow the transfer of critical space technologies such as technology involved in attitude determination and control systems. And the export of critical components and equipment such as high precision attitude sensors is tightly controlled. Therefore it is inevitable to independently acquire self-design and manufacturing capability to implement a satellite mission. The KITSAT-3 program was aimed at verifying the capability to design, develop and operate an indigenous microsatellite system, which includes such critical technologies and associated components and equipment, as well as train engineers. KITSAT-3 was launched on May 26, 1999 using the Indian launcher PSLV-C2. The operations team has successfully performed a full functional checkout during the launch and early operations phase and the satellite is presently in a normal operations mode. This paper introduces the KITSAT-3 program and the results of the initial operations.
