  • For over half a century, the United States (US) and its coalition military aircrafts have been using Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band analog modulation (AM) radios in ground-to-air communication and short-range air-to-air communications. Evolving from this, since 2007, the US military and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) adopted HAVE QUICK to be used by almost all aircrafts, because it had been revealed that intercepting and jamming of former aircraft communication signals was possible, which placed a serious threat to defense systems. The second-generation Anti-jam Tactical UHF Radio for NATO (SATURN) was developed to replace HAVE QUICK systems by 2023. The NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 4372 is a classified document that defines the SATURN technical and operational specifications. In preparation of this future upgrade to SATURN systems, in this paper, the SATURN technical and operational specifications are reviewed, and the network synchronization, frequency hopping, and communication setup parameters that are controlled by the Network (NET) Time, Time Of Day (TOD), Word Of Day (WOD), and Multiple Word of Day (MWOD) are described in addition to SATURN Edition 3 (ED3) and future Edition 4 (ED4) basic features. In addition, an anti-jamming performance analysis (in reference to partial band jamming and pulse jamming) and the time delay queueing model analysis are conducted based on a SATURN transmitter and receiver assumed model.

  • It had been almost a half century since Apollo Mission was ended. However, in these days, a lot of researches are being conducted for restoration and making improvements in technologies used in Saturn V rocket's development. This study reviews the first stage of Saturn V rocket(S-IC), from development history to technologies in various subsystems such as engine purge system, POGO suppression system, hydraulic and pneumatic control system, propellant dispersion system, telemetry system and retrorocket system. Understandings of S-IC stage's operation systems would be helpful in understanding of launch vehicle system and reduction of time and cost in future development process.

  • During their respective missions, the spacecraft Voyager and Cassini measured several Saturn magnetosphere parameters at different radial distances. As a result of information gathered throughout the journey, Voyager 1 discovered hot and cold electron distribution components, number density, and energy in the 6-18 Rs range. Observations made by Voyager of intensity fluctuations in the 20-30 keV range show electrons are situated in the resonance spectrum's high energy tail. Plasma waves in the magnetosphere can be used to locate Saturn's inner magnetosphere's plasma clusters, which are controlled by Saturn's spin. Electromagnetic electron cyclotron (EMEC) wave ring distribution function has been investigated. Kinetic and linear approaches have been used to study electromagnetic cyclotron (EMEC) wave propagation. EMEC waves' stability can be assessed by analyzing the dispersion relation's effect on the ring distribution function. The primary goal of this study is to determine the impact of the magnetosphere parameters which is observed by Cassini. The magnetosphere of Saturn has also been observed. When the plasma parameters are increased as the distribution index, the growth/damping rate increases until the magnetic field model affects the magnetic field at equator, as can be seen in the graphs. We discuss the outputs of our model in the context of measurements made in situ by the Cassini spacecraft.

  • Weed control tests with 6 herbicides which seem to have selectivity of absorption by roots of rice were carried out by the rate of application, the depth of incorporation and the time of application in comparison with the after transplanting treatment of MO in SiCL soil. Soil-incorporated treatment of Ronstar, Saturn, TOK and Saturn·5 were applied before transplanting and soil surface treatment of Machete, PCP and MON·0385 were applied. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Initial crop injury and growth Soil surface treatment before transplanting of PCP of 1,000g ai/10a caused heavy initial injury, which was recovered from by about 50 days after application. Saturn-S at 4kg prod.110a caused slight crop injury sectionally, which was soon recovered from. And little crop injury was caused by other treatments. 2. Effect in weed control Excellent weed control of 90 to 97.7 percent was obtained, when measured 27 days after transplanting, by all the treatments. More than 90 percent weed control was maintained for about 73 days after transplanting by all the treatments of Ronstar and Saturn-S of 3 to 4kg prod./10a. The treatments of MON-0385 of 175g ai/10a and TOK of 280g ai/10a showed somewhat poor weed control. 3. Yield No reduction of yield was observed at all the plots except the non·weeded plot at which 11.4 percent yield reduction was observed compared with the hand weeding plot. The yield was increased by the 1 DBT and 2 DBT treatments of Machete of 210g ai/10a, the treatments of Ronstar of 60g ai/10a, when incorporated to the depth of 2.5 and 12cm, the incorporation treatment of Saturn-S of 3kg prod./10a and 1 DBT treatment of MON-0385 of 175g ai/10a.

  • Recent analyses of spectro-images of Saturn observed by Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS)/Cassini revealed altitudinal distributions of the spectral structure of haze in Saturn's south-polar regions (Kim et al., 2018) and at $55^{\circ}N$ latitude (Kim et al., 2012). However, other regions of Saturn still have not been investigated. We derived series of high-spatial resolution VIMS images of Saturn's limb at various latitudes. Using our developed code, the altitudinal intensity profiles of $3.3-{\mu}m$ emission and H3+ through different latitudes were plotted. Then we obtained the averaged vertical spectra of $3.3-{\mu}m$ emission which is all blended with fluorescent methane and hydrocarbon haze. The vertically-resolved spectra were measured from the limb of Saturn in 50km intervals to see altitudinal variance. We will present a comparison of spectral structures of $3.3-{\mu}m$ emission with different latitudes. Further investigation using radiative transfer to extract adjacent fluorescent CH4, C2H6, and H3+ is needed to derive spectral structure of pure haze. We look forward to a better understanding of aging process in a global view.

  • Since the detection of 3.3-micron PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) and 3.4-micron aliphatic hydrocarbon features in the spectra of Titan (Bellucci et al. 2009; Kim et al. 2011) and Saturn (Kim et al. 2012), respectively, the 3.3-micron feature of gaseous CH4 has been thought to be still the important spectral feature in the 3-micron absorption structures of Titan and Saturn. However, the analyses of the 3.3-and 3.4-micron emission structures of Saturn revealed that the influence of the gaseous CH4 on the structures is rather minimal (Kim et al. 2019). We present synthetic spectra of gaseous CH4, and the PAH and aliphatic haze particles in order to show the degree of influence of their spectra on the 3.3-and 3.4-micron emission structures of Saturn, and we compare these synthetic spectra with currently available observations. We constructed these synthetic spectra using newly developed radiative transfer equations. These equations are able to address detailed radiative processes in the atmospheres containing various gases and haze particles. We expect these radiative transfer equations can also be widely applied to the investigation of radiative transfer processes and the analyses of the spectra of celestial objects such as the Earth, the Moon, planets, and interstellar nebulae.

  • In this paper, we proposed an automatic TOD synchronization and verification method for improving the performance of air-to-ground radio(hereafter SATURN) of legacy aircraft. In order to automatically synchronize TOD with SATURN radio, it is proposed to modify the GPS antenna installed in the existing aircraft according to the minimum operating performance standard. In addition, test methods and results are presented to verify the TOD information generation capability before and after the GPS antenna modifying. It is expected that the automatic TOD synchronization method proposed in this paper can be applied to the SATURN performance improvement design.

  • The main purpose of this research is to look into not only how users evaluate two major databases(BIST and SATURN) of the scientific and technical literature in Korea, but also what users expect from scientific and technical information services in general. The result of the user evaluation shows that there is a very little difference between two databases in database quality. It was found that BIST is better than SATURN in terms of accuracy, customer support, searching capability, and currency, whereas SATURN is preferred to BIST for completeness and the average number of retrieved items. User expectation for scientific and technical information is also investigated by surveying its user community. Among three user groups, there is notable disagreement in language uses to search non-korean literature. Each group also shows different demands for translation of original literature. This study attempted to evaluate the quality of the scientific and technical information (BIST and SATURN) and simultaneously to investigate users demands in general. By doing so, the specificity implied in quality evaluation of specific information services as well as the generalization of the users behaviors in scientific and technical community were accommodated in this study.

  • Recently, an analysis of 3-micron spectra of CH4 line emission from our Gemini/GNIRS observations of Jupiter's polar regions yielded an unexpected result: The homopause (~1 microbar pressure level) located directly above the long-lasting 8-micron CH4 north-polar hot spot (Great 8-micron Hot Spot: GHS) is cool compared with the temperatures of nearby auroral regions (Kim et al. 2017). Most of the 8-micron emission of the GHS originates from CH4 at the ~1 mbar level (i.e., deeper in the stratosphere, where cooling time is several years), much longer than at the altitude of the homopause. We propose a mechanism to explain the temperature difference: locally-fixed and transient, but energetic auroral particles, which can penetrate to the 1 mbar level and deposit energy there creating and maintaining the GHS. For Saturn, thus far we have not detected distinctive 8-micron nor 3-micron CH4 hot spots in the polar regions. We will present a possible implication for this difference between Jupiter and Saturn.
