A compact imaging system, the Multi-spectral Earth Imaging System (MEIS) was developed and operated on an engineering test satellite, KITSAT-3 at the orbital altitude of 720 km. The MEIS takes multi-spectral images of the earth's surface with the swath width of 48 km and the ground sampling distance of 13.8 m in three spectral bands. A brief technical description of the KITSAT-3 MEIS and the result from its initial operation since early June, 1999 are presented. The quality of images produced by the KITSAT-3 MEIS was found comparable to that of images from existing commercial earth observation satellites from its preliminary assessment.

The STSAT-3 satellite was initiated in October 2006 and will be launched into a lower sun-synchronous earth orbit (~700km) in 2010. COMIS takes hyperspectral images of 30m/60m ground sampling distance over a 30km swath width. The payload will be used for environmental monitoring, such as in-land water quality monitoring of Paldang Lake located next to Seoul, the capital of South Korea. An extensive sensitivity and error budget analysis of COMIS optical system have been performed. As way of estimating aggregate effects of all tolerances, a Monte Carlo simulation is used.

The MODIS Land Rapid Response System (RRS) has been developed to provide rapid access to MODIS data globally, with initial emphasis on 250 m color composite imagery and active fire data. Fire detection is based on a contextual algorithm that exploits the strong emission of mid-infrared radiation from fires. This algorithm examines each pixel of the MODIS swath, and ultimately assigns to each one of the following classes: missing data, cloud, water, non-fire, fire, or unknown. In this paper, we introduce the MODIS Rapid Response System established at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) and present some application results for Korea using the direct broadcast data acquired at KARI ground station.

A high speed data link capability is one of the critical factors in determining the performance of the spaceborne SAR system with high resolution because of the strict requirement far the real-time data transmission of the massive SAR data in a limited time of mission. In this paper, based on the data lint model characterized by the spaceborne small SAR system, the high rate multi-channel data link module is designed including link storage, link processor, transmitter, and wide-angle antenna. The design results are presented with the performance analysis on the data link budget as well as the multi-mode data rate in association with the SAR imaging mode of operation from high resolution to the wide swath.

21세기를 향한 여객선의 추세는 초고속화, 대형화(국제화), 성에너지화, 우수한 내항성능, 저진동 및 저소음 등을 갖춘 선박을 요구하고 있다. 이런 관점에서 초고속선으로 속력에 한계가 있는 단동선 (monohull), 쌍동배수량형(catamaran), 최소수면 쌍동선(SWATH)의 선형과 대형화가 곤란한 수중익선 (hydrofoil)보다는 속력면에서 유리하고 대형화가 가능한 표면 효과선 또는 앞 에서 언급한 고속 선형의 장점을 복합시킨 각종 복합선형이 개발되리라고 생각한다. 그러나 복 합선형이 실용화되기까지는 경제적인 건조비, 운항자세 제어 시스템, 신소재를 이용한 경구조화, 진동과 소음, 추진 시스템 등에 대한 요소 기술의 개발이 선행되어야 한다. 끝으로 선박의 속력이 50노트가 넘는 초고속선을 설계, 제작, 운항을 하는데 있어 그 개념이 조선공학에서 다루어지는 통상 선박기술의 연장이라고 그 영역을 정리하는 경향이 있다. 이 글을 정리하면서 느낀 것이 지만 해상교통 수단의 초고속화가 이루어질수록 그 지지기술 및 자세제어기술 등에 있어서는 항공기 기술에 가까워짐을 알게 되었다. 그러한 뜻에서 초고속선 개발에는 항공기 기술에서 얻 어진 노하우를 잘 활용하는 일도 중요하리라 생각된다.

본 논문은 최근의 석유탐사 및 개발사업 현장에서 사용되고 있는 최신의 측량기술 및 해양공사의 측량 기술 표준화 동향을 소개하고, 이에 기반하여 동해1 가스전 해저배관 공사에 적용한 사례를 기술하였다. 해저배관 시설공사를 수행하기 위한 사전측량 및 시공지원 측량은 다양한 탐사장비가 동원되며, 각 장비들의 운영, 자료처리, 해석, 도면화를 위하여 실시간지원이 가능한 시스템을 운영하는 기술이 요구된다. 이를 위하여 해저배관 시공단계별(Pre-Installation Survey, Touch-down Monitoring, As-laid As-Built Survey, Post-installation Survey) 요구되는 측량성과 및 이를 획득하기 위한 소해측량 시스템의 성능평가 및 정확도 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 해저지형 탐사를 위해 동원된 소해측량시스템(Swath Sonar System)에서 취득되는 수심(Bathymetry) 및 후방산란 음압(Backscattered Amplitude) 자료를 맵핑하여 해저배관의 설치 경로를 측량하는 기법에 대하여 소개하고, 추후 해저배관 보호 및 관리시의 효율적인 모니터링 기법을 제시한다.

MSC(Multispectral Camera), which will be a unique payload on KOMPSAT-II, is designed to collect panchromatic and multi-spectral imagery with a ground sample distance of 1m and a swath width of 15km at 685km altitude in sun-synchronous orbit. The instrument is designed to have an orbit operation duty cycle of 20% over the mission life time of 3 years. MSC electronics consists of three main subsystems; PMU(Payload Management Unit), CEU(Camera Electronics Unit) and PDTS(Payload Data Transmission Subsystem). PMU performs all the interface between spacecraft and MSC, and manages all the other subsystems by sending commands to them and receiving telemetry from them with software protocol through RS-422 interface. CEU controls FPA(Focal Plane Assembly) which contains TDI(Timc Delay Integration) CCD(Charge Coupled Device) and its clock drivers. PMU provides a Master Clock to synchronize panchromatic and multispectral camera. PDTS performs compression, storage and encryption of image data and transmits them to the ground station through x-band.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Earth Observing System (EOS) of Terra and Aqua satellites, launched in December 1999 and May 2002, has been directly received by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) ground station facility from July 2002. MODIS scans a swath width of 2330 km that is sufficiently wide to cover Korean peninsular, Yellow and East Sea at once. The MODIS has 36 spectral bands between 0.415 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 14.235 $\mu\textrm{m}$, i.e., through the visible into the thermal infrared. MODIS has been observed active fires, floods, smoke transport, dust storms, severe storms since February of 2000. The satellite imagery obtained through the MODIS will be utilized for many application such as national territorial management, agriculture, natural environment, atmosphere and ocean, etc. In this study is to introduce various application field of MODIS imagery and data processing system.

Various geometric modeling techniques for a hull have been developed with wide application of computer to the ship design. Up to now, they are used for the representation of the sculptured surface with the piecewise polynominal curves or surfaces for a conventional hull. In this paper, a convenient and accurate modeling technique that is instancing and blending of the geometry primitives is introduced for a non-conventional hull such as SWATH, trimaran, caisson etc. Geometric characteristics, hydrostatic particulars and stability of the definded hull are calculated.
