Orbit-raising is an important step to place spacecraft from parking orbits into working orbits. Attitude control system design is crucial in the success of orbit-raising. Several text books have discussed this design and focused mainly on the traditional methods based on single-input single-output (SISO) transfer function models. These models are not good representations for many orbit-raising control systems which have multiple thrusters and each thruster has impact on the attitude defined by all outputs. Only one published article is known to use a more suitable multi-input multi-output (MIMO) Euler angle model in spacecraft orbit-raising attitude control system design. In this paper, a quaternion based MIMO model for the orbit-raising attitude control system design is proposed. The advantages of using quaternion based model for orbit-raising control system designs are (a) there is no need for mathematical transformations because the attitude measurements are normally given by quaternion, (b) quaternion based model does not depend on rotational sequences, which reduces the chance of human errors, and (c) the singular point of reduced quaternion model is the farthest from the operational point where linearization is performed. We will show that performance of quaternion model based design will be as good as the performance of Euler angle model based design for orbit-raising problem.

The propulsion system of geostationary orbiting satellites is typically used to raise the orbit into a transfer orbit, maintain the orbital position in the south/north, east/west direction in regular operation, and accumulate momentum in the south/north and east/west direction. Recently, when an electric propulsion system is used in a geostationary orbit satellite, the payload capacity can be increased by about 40% compared to a chemical propulsion system. However, despite these advantages, using an electric propulsion system has several limitations that should apply to all geostationary orbiting satellites. This paper discusses the operational constraints to consider when developing an indigenous geostationary satellite using a fully electric propulsion, radiation exposure, and control mechanism design due to unit displacement and floating ground-design. A high-voltage control unit for electric drives were analyzed.

In order to operate Low Earth Orbit(LEO) satellite on space, technical requirements and administrative procedure which are defined by the International Telecommunication Union(ITU) should be followed on satellite development. Main technical requirements to follow are purpose of use, bandwidth, Radio Frequency(RF) intensity, and constraints on new satellite network about existing satellite networks according to frequency spectrum. Such ITU's requirements are reflected and designed on system specification and space to ground interface control document. In order to have a right and protection about using the satellite network on space, the satellite network has to be registered on Master International Frequency Register(MIFR) and procedure for this has to be followed. Coordination with countries raising objection is needed in order to register. And reference and method for coordination are also needed.

In this paper the Chemical Propulsion Subsystem of COMS is briefly explained and some telemetries acquired by a series operations of CPS during the Launch and Early Operation Phase of COMS are presented. The pressure and temperature of pressurant tank telemetries are compared with the results of the developed computer program. The changes in pressure are due to the two major phases. The first one is the initialization phases of CPS composed of the venting phase to vent the helium gas in the pipe network from the downstream of the propellant tanks to the thrusters for safety, the priming phase to fill the vented pipe network with oxidizer and fuel respectively and then the pressurization phase to pressurize the ullage of propellant tank to regulated pressure. And the other is the apogee engine firings in which COMS CPS is in the orbit raising phase to use helium as a pressurant to keep the pressure of propellant tank as the liquid apogee engine get fired until COMS reached to the target orbit. This program can be applicable to prepare basis design data of the next Geostationary Satellite CPS.

This paper has apparaised ability of speaker recognition and speech recognition using correlation dimension and Lyapunov dimension. In this method, speech was regarded the cahos that the random signal is appeared in determinisitic raising system. we deduced exact correlation dimension and Lyapunov dimension with searching important orbit from AR model power spectrum when reconstruct strange attractor using Taken's embedding theory. We considered a usefulness of speech recognition and speaker recognition using correlation dimension and Lyapunov dimension that characterized reconstruction attractor. As a result of consideration, which were of use more the speaker recognition than speech recognition, and in case of speaker recognition using Lyapunov dimension were much recognition rate more than speaker recognitions using correlation dimension.
