최근 달에서 에너지자원으로 활용할 수 있는 헬륨-3과 물 등이 발견됨에 따라 달은 심우주 탐사를 위한 전초기지로 주목받고 있다. 따라서 지속가능한 우주행성 탐사를 위해 달 현지 자원을 활용한 건설재료 생산 기술이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로파를 이용해 달 표면에서 쉽게 채취할 수 있는 월면토를 소결하여 건설재료로 생산하는 기술에 대한 가능성을 평가하였다. 효율적인 소결을 위해 하이브리드 소결 시스템을 구축하고 소결에 미치는 영향인자에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 열에 반응하여 변색되는 감열지를 이용해 소결로 내 열 분포를 사전에 파악하고, 이를 기반으로 약 직경 1cm, 높이 2cm의 원통형 한국형 인공월면토 소결체를 제작하였다. 마이크로파를 분산시키는 효과가 있는 회전조건 하에서 제작된 소결체에 대해 밀도를 측정한 결과 마이크로파를 흡수하는 시료가 복수개로 배치될수록 마이크로파가 분산 흡수되어 높이에 따른 열 집중현상이 줄어들어 소결체의 균일도가 향상되었다.

질량분석기는 태양계와 생명의 기원을 밝히기 위한 필수 과학 장비로서, 달/행성/소행성/혜성 등의 대기 및 지표에 존재하는 중성 원소와 이온에 대한 정보를 파악하기 위해 1970년대 초반부터 우주 탐사에 활용되어 왔다. 제4차 우주개발진흥 기본계획(2023-2027)에 따르면 우리나라는 2032년에 달 착륙을 2045년에는 화성 착륙을 성공하는 것을 핵심 목표로 삼고 무인 탐사를 위한 능력을 확보하는 데 기술개발의 역점을 두기로 하였다. 따라서 우주 탐사의 과학적 목표 달성을 위한 가장 기본적인 장비이지만 국내 우주탐사에서 한번도 시도되지 않았던 질량분석기의 국내 개발은 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서 개발된 사중극자 질량분석기의 원리와 원형 모델 및 성능에 대해 소개하고 향후 발전 방향에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

This study was performed to investigate the morphological and structural changes of bone tissues and the effects of irradiation on the mandibular bodies of rats which were fed low calcium diets. In order to carry out this experiment, 160 seven-week old Sprague-Dawley strain rats weighing about 150 gm were selected and equally divided into one normal diet group of 80 rats and one low calcium diet group with the remainder. These groups were then subdivided into two groups, 40 were assigned rats for each subdivided group, exposed to radiation. The Group 1 was composed of forty non-irradiated rats with normal diet, Group 2 of forty irradiated rats with normal diet, Group 3 forty non-irradiated rats with low calcium diet, and Group 4 forty irradiated rats with low calcium diet. The two irradiation groups received a single dose of 20 Gy on the jaw area only and irradiated with a cobalt-50 teletherapy unit. The rats with normal and low calcium diet groups were serially terminated by ten on the 3rd, the 7th, the 14th, and the 21st day after irradiation. After termination, both sides of the dead rats mandible were removed and fixed with 10% neutral formalin. The bone density of mandibular body was measured by use of bone mineral densitometer(Model DPX -alpha, Lunar Corp., U.SA). Triga Mark ill nuclear reactor in Korea Atomic Research Institute was used for neutron activation and then calcium contents of mandibular body were measured by using a 4096 multichannel analyzer (EG and G ORTEC 919 MCA, U.SA). Also the mandibular body was radiographed with a soft X-ray apparatus(Hitex Co., Ltd., Japan). Thereafter, the obtained microradiograms were observed by a light microscope and were used for the morphometric analysis using a image analyzer(Leco 2001 System, Leco Co., Canada). The morphometric analysis was performed for parameters such as the total area, the bone area, the inner and outer perimeters of the bone. The obtained results were as follows: 1. In the morphometric analysis, total area and outer perimeter of the mandibular bodies of Group 3 were a little smaller than that of Group 1. The mean bone width and bone area were much smaller than that of Group 1 and the inner perimeter of Group 3 was much longer than that of Group 1. The total area and outer perimeter of Group 2 and Group 4 showed little difference. The mean bone width and bone area of Group 4 were smaller than that of Group 2 and the inner perimeter of Group 4 was longer than that of Group 2. 2. The remarkable decreases of the number and thickness of trabeculae and also the resorption of endosteal surface of cortical bone could be seen in the microradiogram of Group 3, Group 4 since the 3rd day of experiment. On the 21st day of experiment, the above findings could be more clearly seen in Group 4 than in Group 3. 3. The bone mineral density of Group 3 was lesser than that of Group 1 and the bone mineral density of Group 4 was lesser than that of Group 2 on the 7th, 14th, 21st days. The irradiation caused the bone mineral density to be decreased regardless of diet. In the case of Groups with low calcium diet, the bone mineral density was much decreased on the 21st day than on the 3rd day of experiment. 4. The calcium content in mandible of Group 3 was smaller than that of Group 1 throughout the experiment. roup 4 showed the least amount of calcium content. The irradiation caused the calcium content to be decreased regardless of diet. In the case of Groups with low calcium diet, the calcium content was much decreased on the 21st day than on the 3rd day of experiment. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that morphological changs and decrease of bone mass due to resorption of bone by low calcium diet, and that the resorption of bone could be found in the spongeous bone and endosteal surface of cortical bone. So the problem of resorption of bone must be considered when the old and the postmenopausal women are taken radiotherapy because the irradiation seems to be accelerated the resorption of osteoporotic bone.
