In this paper, the performance of the KOMPSAT-1 orbit determination (OD) accuracy at the ground station was analyzed by using the flight data. The Bayesian least squares estimation was used for the orbit determination and the assessment of the orbit accuracy was evaluated based on orbit overlap comparisons. We also compared the result from OD using GPS navigation solutions with NORAD TLE and the result from OD using range data. Furthermore, the effect of observation type and OBT drift on the accuracy was investigated. As a consequence, It is shown that the OD accuracy using only GPS position data is on the order of 5m RMS (Root Mean Square) with 4 hrs arc overlap for the 30hr arc and the GPS velocity data is not proper as a observation for the OD due to its inferior quality. The significant deterioration of the accuracy due to the critical clock bias was not founded by means of the comparison of OD result from other observations.

The increasing number of orbital debris objects is a risk for satellite operations due to space activities over past 50 years since launched Sputnik. The GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit), where COMS-1 is being operated since last June 2010, has more and more risks that collide with space debris or another satellites. In this paper, as a preliminary study about GEO satellite collision probability and operations environment, collision probability between COMS-1 and RADUGA 1-7 that is one of Russian military communication satellites is investigated and analyzed. Indeed, the space environment including space debris of COMS-1 is presented. As a result, it is noted that collision probability between two satellites using NORAD TLEs on 14th Jan. 2011 was 2.8753E-07 in case that position uncertainty was assumed 10km. Particularly, the largest proportion of space debris around COMS-1's mission orbit is meteoroids.

In this paper, a collision avoidance maneuver frequency for the KOMPSAT-2 and the KOMPSAT-5 is analyzed. For the statistical prediction of the avoidance maneuver frequency, mission orbits, responsive time, accepted collision probabilities, and positional uncertainties of primary and secondary objects are considered. In addition, the collision avoidance maneuver frequency of the KOMPSAT-2 is compared to the case that NORAD catalog during one year is used to calculate that of the KOMPSAT-2. As a result, the collision avoidance maneuver frequency is one per year on average and effective factors on the statistical prediction of the avoidance maneuver frequency are investigated. Efforts to improve its prediction accuracy are also discussed.

국가지정연구실 사업인 “인공위성 및 지구접근천체 감시연구(NEOPAT)”에서는 2001년부터 2004년까지 인공위성에 대한 광학관측을 추진하였다. 인공위성의 궤도에 관한 자료는 미국 NORAD에서 제공하는 TLE(Two Line Elements)를 이용하였으며, 한국천문연구원에서 개발한 KODAS(KAO Orbit Determination & Data Analysis System) 소프트웨어를 TLE에 사용하여 임의의 시각에서의 위성에 대한 위치 정보를 얻을 수 있었다. (중략)

Satellite orbit determination using angles only data from single ground station is carried out. The KOMPSAT-1 satellite mono-pulse angle tracking data from 9-meter S-band antenna at KARI site in Daejeon are used for the orbit determination. Various angle tracking arcs from one-day to five-day are processed and the orbit determination results are analyzed. Antenna pointing data are predicted based on the orbit determination results to check the possibility of re-acquisition and tracking of the satellite signal. Normal satellite mission operations including orbit determination, antenna prediction, satellite re-acquisition and automatic tracking from predicted antenna angle pointing data are concluded to be possible when three-day angle tracking data from single tracking station are used for the orbit determination.

In case that we independently obtain orbital informations about the low earth satellites of foreign countries using radar systems, we develop the orbit determination algorithm for this purpose using a SGP4 model with an analytical orbit model and the extended Kalman filter with a real-time processing method. When the state vector is Keplerian orbital elements, singularity problems happen to compute partial derivative with respect to inclination and eccentricity orbit elements. To cope with this problem, we set state vector osculating to mean equinox and true equator cartesian elements with coordinate transformation. The state transition matrix and the covariance matrix are numerically computed using a SGP4 model. Observational measurements are the type of azimuth, elevation and range, filter process to each measurement in a lump. After analyzing performance of the developed orbit determination algorithm using TOPEX/POSEIDON POE(precision 0.bit Ephemeris), its position error has about 1 km. To be similar to performance of NORAD system that has up to 3km position accuracy during 7 days need to radar system performance that have accuracy within 0.1 degree for azimuth and elevation and 50m for range.

지상의 관측소에서 특정 인공위성을 찾아내기 위해서는 위성의 정밀궤도 계산이 필요하다. 궤도상의 인공위성의 위치는 시간에 따라 계속 변하므로 이러한 위성의 위치를 실시간으로 추적하기 위해서는 컴퓨터를 이용한 계산이 필수적이다. 정밀한 계산 결과를 얻기 위하여 태양과 지상 관측소의 위치는 Astronomical Almanac과 지구 타원체 모델을 이용하여 계산 하였다. 인공위성의 궤도는 미공군 북미방공사령부(NORAD)에서 발표하는 TLE를 초기값으로 이용하여 J2 섭동효과를 포함한 위성의 위치 및 속도의 변화를 계산하여 SkyView로 나타내었다. 이렇게 나타낸 SkyView의 결과를 실제 위성의 궤적과 비교하여 위성의 궤도를 검증하였으며, 시간에 따른 위성의 광도 곡선 변화 계산 루틴을 작성하여 실제 위성을 찾아내기 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능하도록 하였다. 모든 계산을 위한 프로그램을 Visual Studio.net 2010 환경에서 C++ 언어를 이용하여 작성하였으며, 결과를 나타내기 위하여 Nokia 사의 Cross Platform 라이브러리인 Qt를 이용하여 UI 제작 및 Visualization을 수행하였다. Qt 라이브러리는 C++ 언어를 기반으로 작성된 플랫폼 독립적인 GUI 라이브러리로써 MS Windows, Linux, MacOS 환경에서 사용이 가능하다. 이를 통해 운영체제에 관계없이 모든 컴퓨터 환경에서 동일한 유저 인터페이스를 이용하여 계산을 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 향후 우주물체탐색에 있어 독자적인 운영을 위한 프로그램으로 활용할 예정이다.
