A 300 meter class ROV(CROV300) is composed of three parts : a surface unit, a tether cable and an underwater vehicle. The vehicle controller is based on two processors : an Intel 8097-16-bit one chip micro-processor and a Texas Instruments TMS320E25 digital signal processor. In this paper, the surface controller, the vehicle controller and peripheral devices interfaced with the processors are described. These controllers transmit/receive measured status data and control commands through RS422 serial communication. Depth, heading, trimming, camera tilting, and leakage signals are acquired through the embedded AD converters of the 8097. On the other hand, altitude of ROV and lbstacle avoidance signals are processed by the DSP processor and periodically fetched by the 8097. The processor is interfaced with a 4-channel 12-bit D/A converter to generate control signals for DC motors an dseveral transistors to handle the relays for on/off switching of external devices.

Onset voltage plays a crucial role in the design of a spray microthruster. This paper presents an analytical electrostatic model to predict the behavior of onset voltage in an array of emitters. The basic idea of this method is to superimpose the electric potentials obtained from each individual emitter in an array of emitters. The results show that if one emitter operates and the other neighboring emitters are dry, the potential required for cone-jet spraying generally increases as the emitter spacing decreases (due to electrical shielding). However at very close spacing the potential can decrease. If all emitters operate at the same time, the phenomenon that even at very close spacing the onset voltage required for cone-jet spraying increases merely as the emitter spacing decreases.

This paper presents the preliminary fabrication results of colloid thrusters which can provide thrust of the order of micro to milli-Newtons. MEMS technology has been used for fabrication, and four essential fabrication techniques - deep etching with nested masks, isotropic plasma etching, anisotropic reactive ion etching, and direct fusion wafer bonding - have been newly developed. Among diverse models which have been designed and fabricated, the fabrication results of 4-inch wafer-based colloid thrusters are presented.

In this article, in order to fabricate polymer based electrospray device with super hydrophobic nozzle we use PTFE(polyfluorotetraethylene) plate and PMMA(polymethylmethacrylate). To obtain the super hydrophobic surface nozzle, PTFE surface is treated by argon and oxygen plasma treatment process. And evaluate the treated surface, perform measuring contact angle, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and AFM(Atomic Force Microscope). We compare the performance of the super hydrophobic PTFE surface nozzle with raw PTFE and PMMA surface nozzle. For the ion beam treated PTFE nozzle, the liquid doesn't overflow and it keeps initial position and meniscus shape. From these results, we expect in cease of superhydrophobic surface nozzle jetting becomes more stable and repeatable.

홀추력기는 이온을 가속하여 추력을 얻는 전기추력기의 일종으로, 높은 비추력을 보유하여 다양한 우주임무에 활용되고 있다. 특히, 최근 다양한 우주임무 내 100 kg 내외의 소형 및 초소형위성의 활용이 가파르게 증가하면서, 이를 위한 저전력 전기추력기 연구개발의 중요성 역시 크게 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 양극전력 200 W 미만의 홀추력기 랩모델 두 기를 설계 및 제작하고, 운전변수에 따른 추력성능 혹은 방전특성을 분석하였다. 결과적으로, 양극전력 50-175 W에서 2.5-9.0 mN 수준의 추력과 600-1,150 s의 비추력, 15-28% 양극효율을 확보하였다.

As one of the concepts of the laser/electric hybrid propulsion system, a feasibility study on possibilities of electrostatic acceleration of a laser ablation plasma induced from a solid target was conducted. Energy distributions of accelerated ions were measured by a Faraday cup. A time-of-flight measurement was also conducted for ion velocity measurement. It was found that an average speed of ions from a pure laser ablation in this case was about 20 km/sec for pulse energy of 40 $\mu$J/pulse with pulse width of 250 psec. On the other hand, through an electrostatic field with a + I ,000 V electrode, the speed could be accelerated up to 40 km/sec. It was shown that the electrode with positive potential was more effective than that with negative potential for positive-ion acceleration in laser induced plasma, or pulsed plasma, in which ions were induced with the Coulomb explosion following electrons. In addition, the ion-acceleration or deceleration strongly depended on conditions of pairs of inner diameter and electrodes gap.

마이크로 추력기의 성능평가를 위해 MEMS 추력 측정 시스템을 설계하였으며, 시스템의 성능 예측에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 추력 측정 시스템은 빔, 박막, 압저항 센서로 구성된다. 시스템의 안정성 검증과 빔의 응력 변화를 확인하고 압저항 센서의 크기 및 위치 선정을 위해 FEM 해석을 수행하였다. 재료의 허용응력과 최대응력을 비교하여 설계한 시스템들의 안정성을 검증할 수 있었다. 압저항 센서는 높은 게이지 계수를 확보하기 위해 빔의 길이의 20%로 설계 하였으며, 기준형상의 박막과 빔의 크기는 각각 $15mm{\times}15mm$, $500{\mu}m{\times}500{\mu}m$로 설계하였다.
