In robot teleoperation, much research has been carried out to control the slave robot from remote site. One of the essential devices for robot teleoperation is the masterarm, which is a path command generating device worn on human arm. In this paper, a new masterarm based on human kinematics is proposed. Its controller is based on the distributed controller architecture composed of two controller parts: a host controller and a set of satellite controllers. Each satellite controller measures the corresponding joint angle, while the host controller performs forward and inverse kinematics calculation. This distributed controller architecture can make the data updating faster, which allows to implement real-time implementation. The host controller and the satellited controllers are networked via three-wire daisy-chained SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol, so this architecture makes the electrical wiring very simple, and enhances maintenance. Analytical method for finding three additional unknown joint angles is derived using only three measured angles for each shoulder and wrist, which makes th hardware implementation very simple by minimizing the required number of satellite controllers. Finally, the simulation and experiment results are given to demonstrate the usefulness and performance of the proposed masterarm.

In this paper, position control of focal plane compensation device using piezoelectric actuator is conducted. The forcal plane compensation device installed on earth observation satellite camera compensates micro-vibration from reaction wheels. In this study, four experimental models of the open-loop compensation device are derived using MATLAB system identification toolbox in the input range of 0~50Hz. Subsequently, the PID controller for each model is designed and the performance test of each controller is conducted through MATLAB/Simulink. According to frequency response analysis of the closed-loop compensation device system, the PID controller designed for 38~50Hz input range has enough tracking performance for the whole 0~50Hz input range. The maximum output error is about $1{\mu}m$ for the input range. The simulation results has been verified by the experimental method.

저궤도 인공위성에 사용되는 태양전력 조절기는 태양전지의 영향으로 일반적인 DC-DC 컨버터와는 다른 소신호 특성을 갖는다. 이로 인하여 벅-부스트 형 태양전력 조절기는 태양전지의 전류원 영역에서 평균전류모드제어가 불가능하다. 이 논문에서는 벅-부스트 형 태양전력 조절기를 의사-연속전류모드로 동작시켜 태양전지의 전 영역에서 태양전력조절기를 평균전류모드 단일 제어한다. 우선 의사-연속전류모드 벅-부스트 형 태양전력 조절기의 회로 동작을 설명하고, 소신호 전달함수를 구하고 이를 바탕으로 평균전류모드제어기를 구성한다. 최종적으로 모의실험을 통하여 의사-연속전류모드 벅-부스트 형 태양전력 조절기의 평균모드제어를 검증한다.

The attitude information of spacecraft can be obtained by the sensors attached to it using a star tracker, three-axis magnetometer, three-axis gyroscope, and a global positioning signal receiver. By using these sensors, the spacecraft can be maneuvered by actuators that generate torques. In particular, electromagnetic-torque bars can be used for attitude control and as a momentum-canceling instrument. The spacecraft momentum can be created by the current through the electrical circuits and coils. Thus, the current around the electromagnetic-torque bars is a critical factor for precisely controlling the spacecraft. In connection with these concerns, a solar-cell array can be considered to prevent generation of a magnetic dipole moment because the solar-cell array can introduce a large amount of current through the electrical wires. The maximum value of a magnetic dipole moment that cannot affect precise control is $0.25A{\cdot}m^2$, which takes into account the current that flows through the reaction-wheel assembly and the magnetic-torque current. In this study, we designed a 300-W solar cell array and presented an optimal wire-routing method to minimize the magnetic dipole moment for space applications. We verified our proposed method by simulation.

지구관측 영상위성의 해상도는 위성에 장착된 광학카메라의 Field of View(FOV)와 위성의 임무고도에 의해 결정된다. 따라서 카메라의 FOV가 고정된 경우 해상도를 향상시키는 방법은 위성의 임무고도를 낮추는 것이다. 하지만 저고도일수록 대기저항에 의한 위성의 고도감소가 크게 나타나고 이를 보정하기 위해 많은 연료가 필요하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 초저고도에 있는 위성의 임무도 유지를 위하여 필요한 연료량 산출을 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 지구와 위성 간 2체 문제에 대기저항과 이를 보정하기 위만 주력을 고려하여 운동방정식을 세우고, Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto(LGL) points를 이용한 collocation method를 사용하였다. 지속적으로 임무고도를 유지하는 경우와 고도 상승하강 기동을 하여 임무고도를 대략 유지하는 경우에 대한 소모되는 연료량을 비하였다. 고도 상승하강 기동의 방법이 임무고도를 유지하기 위하여 더 적은 연료를 소모하였다. 고도 상승하강 기동방법을 이용할 때 고도상승의 주기 변화로 얻어지는 연료이득은 작고, 태양활동 시기나 위성의 임무고도변화는 연료 사용에 큰 영향을 끼치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 여러 가지 조건에 대한 연료소모량을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 이 연구를 통해서 얻어진 알고리즘은 위성의 저고도 유지를 위한 연료량을 산정하는데 많은 도움이 될 것이며, 임무도 설정에 있어서도 원하는 해상도와 연료량을 고려하여 최상의 선택을 할 수 있는 자료를 제공할 수 있다.

This article presents the details of a designed control moment gyroscope (CMG) with a constant speed momentum wheel and one-axis-gimbal, and its experimental results performed at Korea Aerospace Research Institute. The CMG which is able to produce a torque of lOO mNm per each, is mounted in a pyramid configuration with four SGCMGs. Each CMG test and a single axis maneuver test with four-CMG cluster configuration are performed to confirm their performance on a ground-test facilities consisted of three major parts: a vibration isolation system, a dynamic force plate (Kistler sensor), and a DSP board. These facilities provide the accurate data of three axial and torques from the control moment gyro. Details of the CMG experimental results are presented with discussion of the experimental errors. The experimental data are compared with theoretical results and both results are used to verify their performance specifications.

Thermal control of satellite propellant tank is achieved by patch heaters enabled by thermostat's behavior. It is important to attach the thermostat on the appropriate position of the propellant tank. However its position cannot be given with exact numerics because tank is spherical. Actually the position for thermostat is designated in relevant drawing approximately, therby, the engineer practices depending on his own experience and intuition. The sensitivity analysis for the position of thermostat is performed such that the influence on the thermal behavior and control of tank is examined quantatively. When assembling tank module, the reasonable performance on the thermal control is believed with possible human errors if the uncertainty in the position of thermostat is not quite large.

The paper presents a control architecture aimed at implementing bandwidth optimization combined with call admission control (CAC) over a digital video broadcasting (DVB) return channel satellite terminal (RCST) under quality of service (QoS) constraints. The approach can be applied in all cases where traffic flows, coming from a terrestrial portion of the network, are merged together within a single DVB flow, which is then forwarded over the satellite channel. The paper introduces the architecture of data and control plane of the RCST at layer 2. The data plane is composed of a set of traffic buffers served with a given bandwidth. The control plane proposed in this paper includes a layer 2 resource manager (L2RM), which is structured into decision makers (DM), one for each traffic buffer of the data plane. Each DM contains a virtual queue, which exactly duplicates the corresponding traffic buffer and performs the actions to compute the minimum bandwidth need to assure the QoS constraints. After computing the minimum bandwidth through a given algorithm (in this view the paper reports some schemes taken in the literature which may be applied), each DM communicates this bandwidth value to the L2RM, which allocates bandwidth to traffic buffers at the data plane. Real bandwidth allocations are driven by the information provided by the DMs. Bandwidth control is linked to a CAC scheme, which uses current bandwidth allocations and peak bandwidth of the call entering the network to decide admission. The performance evaluation is dedicated to show the efficiency of the proposed combined bandwidth allocation and CAC.
