MIRIS, Multi-purpose Infra-Red Imaging System, is the main payload of STSAT-3 (Korea Science & Technology Satellite 3), which will be launched in the end of 2012 (the exact date to be determined) by a Russian Dnepr rocket. MIRIS consists of two camera systems, SOC (Space Observation Camera) and EOC (Earth Observation Camera). During a shock test for the flight model stability in the launching environment, some lenses of SOC EQM (Engineering Qualification Model) were broken. In order to resolve the lens failure, analyses for cause were performed with visual inspections for lenses and opto-mechanical parts. After modifications of SOC opto-mechanical parts, the shock test was performed again and passed. In this paper, we introduce the solution for lens safety and report the test results.

MIRIS (Multipurpose Infra-Red Imaging System), is a small infrared space telescope which is being developed by KASI, as the main payload of Science and Technology Satellite 3 (STSAT-3). Two wideband filters (I and H) of the MIRIS enables us to study the cosmic infrared background by detecting the absolute background brightness. The narrow band filter for Paschen ${\alpha}$ emission line observation will be employed to survey the Galactic plane for the study of warm ionized medium and interstellar turbulence. The opto-mechanical design of the MIRIS is optimized to operate around 200K for the telescope, and the cryogenic temperature around 90K for the sensor in the orbit, by using passive and active cooling technique, respectively. The engineering and qualification model of the MIRIS has been fabricated and successfully passed various environmental tests, including thermal, vacuum, vibration and shock tests. The flight model was also assembled and is in the process of system optimization to be launched in 2012 by a Russian rocket. The mission operation scenario and the data reduction software is now being developed. After the successful mission of FIMS (the main payload of STSAT-1), MIRIS is the second Korean space telescope, and will be an important step towards the future of Korean space astronomy.

KASI is developing the MIRIS (Multi-purpose IR Imaging System), as the main payload of Science and Technology Satellite-3 (STSAT-3). The Engineering Qualification Model (EQM) of the MIRIS has been recently fabricated, and Flight Model (FM) is now in final development stage. The system performance tests have been made mainly with EQM, and partly with FM in the laboratory, including opto-mechanics test, vibration test, thermal-vacuum test and passive cooling test down to 200K, using a thermal controlled vacuum chamber. Most of the system performance test results of the MIRIS are satisfied with the required specifications and its results were reflected in development of the FM with several revisions of the system design. In this paper, we present detailed system performance test procedures of the MIRIS and its results.

2004년 9월 러시아 발사체 "디네플"에 의해 발사 예정인 초소형위성 HAUSAT-1의 비행 모델 개발이 완료되어 초소형위성 전개기 P-POD (Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer) 에 장착하기 위해 미국으로 이송할 예정이다. HAUSAT-1 위성개발을 통하여 설계, 제작 및 시험을 한 단일보드 탑재컴퓨터는 다른 초소형위성의 탑재컴퓨터와는 다른 고성능의 특성을 갖고 있다. 다기능의 컨트롤러와 SPI 와 1-Wire와 같은 최근의 접속기술을 사용하여 하니스의 단순화와 시스템의 크기 및 질량을 최소화 하였다. 또한 우주방사환경에 의한 장애 발생에 대처하도록 장애복구 시스템을 적용하였다. HAUSAT-1의 비행 모델용 탑재컴퓨터는 현재 모든 가능시험과 환경시험을 마친 상태이며, 본 논문에서는 이들 성능/기능시험 결과와 랜덤진동시험 및 열진공시험 결과를 논의한다.
