Refocusing methods are used to compensate optical performance degradation of high resolution satellite camera during on-orbit operation. Due to mechanical vibration during launch and thermal vacuum environment of space where camera is exposed, the alignment of optical system may have error. The focusing error is dominant of misalignment and caused by the de-space error of secondary mirror of catoptric camera, which is most sensitive to vibration and space environment. The high resolution camera of SPOT, Pleiades and KOMPSAT2 have refocusing device to adjust focusing during orbital operation while QuickBird of US does not use on orbit refocusing method. For the Korsch type optical configuration which is preferred for large aperture space remote sensing camera, secondary mirror and folding mirror are available as refocusing element.

This paper presents the model updating of an equipment panel by using modal test and sensitivity analysis. The equipment panel is one of the major structures of communication satellite, on which broadcasting and communication equipments are mounted. For high rigidity and light weight, the panel was designed as an aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel. In addition, heat pipes were embedded in the panel for thermal control. It is essential to improve the finite element model of a satellite by using modal test in order to verify the satellite is designed with adequate margin under launch environment. In this paper, Young's modulus of aluminum facesheet was selected as a modified parameter by sensitivity analysis. The effect of rotational springs of boundary points was also considered.

In this study, supersonic and hypersonic flutter characteristics have been analyzed for the various typical section shapes of missile fin configurations. Nonlinear flutter analyses are conducted considering the effect of moving shock waves. Computational fluid dynamic method is applied to accurately predict unsteady aerodynamic loads due to structural motions for the solution of aeroelastic governing equations. Commonly used typical section shapes of supersonic and hypersonic launch vehicles are considered in the present numerical study. Detailed flutter responses for four different typical section models are presented and the flutter characteristics are physically investigated.

This paper reports the performance and the Algorithm of an 1/3-octave band spectrum control system. The system is developed to provide various required spectrums in a high intensity acoustic chamber. The required spectrums, which usually comes from launch vehicle specification, starts from 25㎐ band and ends 10,000㎐. Short settling time is required to guarantee the safety of test objects and reduce the amount of operating gas. (omitted)

In this study, steady and unsteady aerodynamic analyses of a huge rocket configuration have been conducted in a transonic flow region. The launch vehicle structural response are coupled with the transonic flow state transitions at the nose of the payload fairing. The developed fluid-structure coupled analysis system is applied for aeroelastic computations combining computational structural dynamics(CSD), finite element method(FEM) and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) in the time domain. It can give very accurate and useful engineering data on the structural dynamic design of advanced flight vehicles. For the nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics in high transonic flow region, Navier-Stokes equations using the structured grid system have been applied to the rocket configurations. Also, it is typically shown that the current computation approach can yield realistic and practical results for rocket design and test engineers.

High intensity vibro-acoustic testing is the appropriate method for flight qualification testing of space flight vehicle which must ensure the acoustic environment of launch. To qualify vibro-acoustic environment during its flight, High Intensity Acoustic Test was performed for KOMPSAT-2(Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite) STM(Structural Thermal Model). This paper presents the detailed description on the high intensity acoustic test for KOMPSAT-2. Additionally the test results was compared with the analysis ones, which were estimated with 3-D SEA(Statistical Energy Analysis) model.

1999년 한반도 상공에 발사되어 21세기 한국의 우주 시대를 열어나갈 국내 최초의 다목적 실용위성인 KOMPSAT의 개발이 한국 항공 우주 연구소를 주관 기관으로 국내외의 여러 기업 및 연구기관들이 참여한 가운데 현재 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 위성체의 설계, 제작 및 시험의 국산화 일환으로 국내에서 제작된 이중 추진 장치(Dual Thrust Module)의 발사 환경 시험에 대한 과정 및 결과에 대하여 언급코자 한다. 일반적으로 목표 궤도에서 발사체로부터 분리된 위성체는 자세 제어를 수행하며, 또한 저궤도 위성의 경우 궤도상에 존재하는 공기등의 저항으로 인하여 빈번한 궤도수정이 필요하다. DTM은 이러한 궤도수정 업무를 담당하는 중요한 위성체의 부품이다. 그러나, 지상에서 발사시 발사체로부터 전달되는 진동 및 소음의 영향으로 인하여 기능 장애를 일으킬 우려가 있음에 따라, 제작된 DTM은 위성 본체에 장착되기 전 반드시 발사 시와 동일한 환경하에서 고유의 기능을 성공적으로 수행할 수 있는지에 대한 검증 절차가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 DTM의 발사 환경 시험을 성공적으로 수행함으로써 위성체 및 부품의 시험기술을 축적하여 국내 위성 개발 분야에 기여코자 한다.

In this study, stability designing electronics mounted on launch vehicle for shock load(low/high frequency band) could be derived. For the low-frequency shock loads, CCA(circuit card assembly) has secured the structural integrity over the best natural frequency techniques. For the high-frequency shock load, the structural integrity could be ensured with applying device such as the insulation pad. When the EAR is applied, insulation effect of part application is good more than whole application.

At lift-off, the jet noise of launch vehicle produces a severe acoustic environment and the loads induced by the acoustic pressure may be damaging to paylaod and equipments. Prediction of the acoustic environment is needed to support the design and test-qualification of components. Currently, such a high frequency problem is usually dealt with by using the SEA, of which the assumptions match reasonably well with the vibro-acoustic condition of system. (omitted)

UFFO Burst Alert & Trigger telescope (UBAT) is one of major instruments of UFFO-Pathfinder. The UBAT aims at 10 arcmin resolution localization of Gamma Ray Bursts with X-ray coded mask technique. It has $400mm{\times}400mm$ coded mask aperture, hopper, shielding and detector module with effective area of $191cm^2$. The detector module consists of an assembly of 36 64-ch MAPMTs and $25mm{\times}25mm$ pixellated YSO crystal array, and associated analog and digital electronics of about 2500 channels. We performed a vibration test using a dummy MAPMT with the detector module structure to measure the indused stress applied onto the MAPMT. We designed a sub-structure on the detector module to avoid the resonance that would otherwise deforms the detector module structure. A finite element analysis confirms the reduction of the load acceleration down to 12g. The experimental results are to be reported. Consequently, it proves that the MAPMT arrays of the flight UBAT detector module structure would survive in the space launch environment.
