  • Outgassing from such sources as paints, coatings, adhesives and other non-metallic surfaces can contaminate satellites, especially second surface mirror and optical lens, it cause satellite to fail in own missions. The vacuum bake-out test using high temperature(more than $85 ^{\circ}C$)and high vacuum(less than $5.0{\times}1-^{-3}$ Pa) certify that the components of satellite work properly and can survive and operate in space environment like high vacuum. In the bake-out chamber installed at SITC of KARI, Rotary vacuum pump and Booster pump produce low vacuum of 5.0 Pa, and then two cryopumps produce high vacuum of below $5.0{\times}10^{-3}$ Pa. Also 48 ceramic heaters were provided to simulate high temperature. During the vacuum bake-out test, we detected contaminants using RGA(Residual Gas Analyzer) and measure the outgassing rate of the contaminant using the TQCM(Thermoelectric Quartz Crystal Microbalance). Also, IR/UV Spectrometer and witness plate be used to certify that the components were suitable for the spacecraft. This paper includes the preparation and procedures of the bake-out test for SAR(Solar Array Regulator) and MLI(Multi Layer Insulator), which were the components of the spacecraft. Especially, we discussed the methods and results of the contamination measurement. In the bake-out for SAR, the contamination was measured continuously although it was on the decrease from TQCM results. And RCA established that it is a highly polymerized compound. In the MLI bake-out using RGA and witness plate, we didn't detect any contamination materials.

  • 위성체 개발에 있어서 지상에서 위성체의 부품에 대한 고온($85^{\circ}C$ 이상)과 고진공($5.0{\times}10-3Pa$ 이하)의 상태를 모사하여 오염물질을 제거하는 베이크아웃 시험이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 베이크아웃 시험의 종료여부는 TQCM (Thermoelectric Quartz Crystal Microbalance)을 이용한 탈기체(outgassing)의 흡착률을 측정하여 결정한다. 측정된 흡착률을 통해 시험 대상 표면에서 발생하는 탈기체량을 추정할 수 있으며, 결국 시험 대상의 우주 부품으로써의 적합성을 판단할 수 있다. TQCM을 적용하지 못하는 경우, 베이크아웃 시험 종료여부를 판단하기 위해 잔류가스분석기(Residual Gas Analyzer: RGA)를 활용하는 것을 고려하였다. 베이크아웃 시험 중 잔류가스분석기를 활용하여 시편에서 방출되는 오염물질을 측정하였으며, 그 중 측정량이 가장 많은 40-45 amu 범위의 측정값 추이를 관찰하여, 베이크아웃 시험 종료조건 수립 가능성을 검토하였다.

  • In this study, we fabricated the $K^+$ ion source for the various purposes and investigated the emission characteristics. The fabricated $K^+$ ion source was painted in the tungsten filament to make filament type ion source. The RGA spectra show that the filament type $K^+$ ion source has a good out gassing character, so it can be used in the ultra-high vacuum system. The maximum $K^+$ ion current was 20 mA when filament temperature was 1410 K and filament potential was 50 V. When the filament temperature was 1070 K, the initial beam current was 50 mA and decreased only by 2% during 4 hours. The emitting energy was measured to be 2.04 eV. This low value means that the fabricated specimen is a good $K^+$ ion source. We conclude that this filament type ion source can be used in various fields, including the LEIS research.

  • Gibberellins (GAs) are essential phytohormones for plant growth that influence developmental processes and crop yields. Recent functional genomic analyses of model plants have yielded good characterizations of the canonical GA signaling pathways and related genes. Although Panax ginseng has long been considered to have economic and medicinal importance, functional genomic studies of the GA signaling pathways in this crucial perennial herb plant have been rarely conducted. Here, we identified and performed functional analysis of the GA signaling-related genes, including PgGID1s, PgSLY1s, and PgRGAs. We confirmed that the physiological role of GA signaling components in P. ginseng was evolutionarily conserved. In addition, the important functional domains and amino acid residues for protein interactions among active GA, GID1, SCFSLY1, and RGA were also functionally conserved. Prediction and comparison of crystallographic structural similarities between PgGID1s and AtGID1a supported their function as GA receptors. Moreover, the subcellular localization and GA-dependent promotion of DELLA degradation in P. ginseng was similar to the canonical GA signaling pathways in other plants. Finally, we found that overexpression of PgRGA2 and PgSLY1-1 was sufficient to complement the GA-related phenotypes of atgid1a/c double- and rga quintuple-mutants, respectively. This critical information for these GA signaling genes has the potential to facilitate future genetic engineering and breeding of P. ginseng for increased crop yield and production of useful substances.

  • 가속기나 토카막과 같은 거대한 진공 장치의 용기 내벽을 청정화 하기 위해서는 용기 전체의 열처리(굽기, Baking)와 글로우 방전(Glow discharge) 법을 병행하여 사용한다. Baking은 일반 기체(N2, O2, 그리고 CO2)와 물(H2O)의 탈착에 효과적이고, Glow discharge cleaning은 탄소(Carbon-based)와 산소(Oxygen-based) 화합물의 탈착에 효과적이다. 특히 Glow discharge cleaning의 경우에는 전극의 모양, 진공 용기의 재질과 모양, 전극간의 거리, 사용되는 반응 기체의 압력 등에 따라 그 효과에 큰 차이가 있으므로 다각적인 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 그림 1과 같이 시험용 스테인레스(AISI 304와 AISI 316LN) 진공 용기를 설치하고, 시험 용기의 한쪽은 배기 용기와 oriffice로, 다른 편은 불순물의 정성.정량 분석을 위해 RGA(Residual gas analyser) 용기와 oriffice로 연결하였다. 전체 시스템 중에서 배기 부분과 분석 부분은 15$0^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 가열하여 전체의 기저 진공도를 1$\times$10-8Torr로 하였다. 기저 진공도의 용기에 고순도의 반응기체 (He, Ar, Ar+He, Ar+H2, Ar+N2 등)를 주입한후, DC 전압(0.8~1.5kV)을 변화하며 글로우 방전의 최적조건을 찾았다. 방전 동안 시험용 용기에서 방출되는 반응 기체 이외의 기체를 RGA로 측정하였고 외부에 Thermocouple을 여러곳에 장착하여 온도 변화를 측정하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 진공 용기 표면적으로부터의 불순물 탈착(desorption)과 불순물 분석, 플라즈마와 내벽의 상호작용등에 대한 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 Baking과 Glow discharge cleaning을 동시에 수행하여 Baking 온도의 낮춤에 따른 영향 평가도 수행하였다.

  • Volatile organic compounds(VOCs) emitted from PC/Monitor set and chemical parts com-prising of PC/Monitor set were analyzed aran, and xylene of VOCs based on qualitative analysis. As a result of these analyses, when the Wedge Rub-ber of rubber product was heated from 60$^{\circ}C$ to 80$^{\circ}C$, the emission rate(%) of xylene was increased about 2.5 times. But it was evaluated that the left of chemical parts were not affected by temperature except Wedge Rub-ber. The results of qualitative analyses between RGA and GC-MS were a little different respectively. With quantitative analysis, concentration of xylene emitted from cabinet was measured to be maximum as 6029.3 ug/ m$^3$(1.3ppm). The concentrations of toluene, xylene, and benzofuran derived from PC/Monitor set were 10.25${\mu}g/m^3$, 690${\mu}g/m^3$, and 180 ${\mu}g/m^3$, and these concentrations were relatively high levels which can bring on the risk to human health.
