This study concerns about the orbit prediction and orbit determination of Korean future communication satellite, called 'Moogunghwa", which will be motioned in the geo-stationary orbit. Perturbation effect on the satellite orbit due to nonspherical gravitation of the earth, gravitation of the sun and moon, radiation of sun, drag of the atmosphere was investigated. Cowell's method is used for orbit prediction. Orbit determination was performed by using Extended Kalman Filter which is suitable for real-time orbit determination. The result shows that the chacteristics of the satellite orbit has east-west and south-north drift. So the periodic control time and control value in the view of the periodic of error can be provided. The orbit determination demonstrated the effectiveness since the convergence performance on the positon and velocity error, and state error standard deviation is reasonable.able.

Operational orbit determination (OOD) depends on the capability of generating accurate prediction of spacecraft ephemeris in a short period. The predicted ephemeris is used in the operations such as instrument pointing and orbit maneuvers. In this study the orbit prediction problem consists of the estimating diverse arc length orbit using GPS navigation data, the predicted orbit for the next 48 hours, and the fitted 30-hour arc length orbits of double differenced GPS measurements for the predicted 48-hour period. For 24-hour orbit arc length, the predicted orbit difference from truth orbit was 205 meters due to the along-track error. The main error sources for the orbit prediction of the Low Earth Orbiter (LEO) satellite are solar pressure and atmosphere density.

This study presents the generation and accuracy assessment of predicted orbital ephemeris based on satellite laser ranging (SLR) for geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites. Two GEO satellites are considered: GEO-Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT)-2B (GK-2B) for simulational validation and Compass-G1 for real-world quality assessment. SLR-based orbit determination (OD) is proactively performed to generate orbital ephemeris. The length and the gap of the predicted orbital ephemeris were set by considering the consolidated prediction format (CPF). The resultant predicted ephemeris of GK-2B is directly compared with a pre-specified true orbit to show 17.461 m and 23.978 m, in 3D root-mean-square (RMS) position error and maximum position error for one day, respectively. The predicted ephemeris of Compass-G1 is overlapped with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) final orbit from the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) analysis center (AC) to yield 36.760 m in 3D RMS position differences. It is also compared with the CPF orbit from the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) to present 109.888 m in 3D RMS position differences. These results imply that SLR-based orbital ephemeris can be an alternative candidate for improving the accuracy of commonly used radar-based orbital ephemeris for GEO satellites.

The purpose of perigee kick motor firing is to place a satellite into transfer orbit and that of apogee kick motor firing is to place the satellite into geosynchonous orbit in order to increase the semi-major axis of the transfer orbit and reduce the inclination of the transfer orbit. Because apogee motor firing is always accompanied with injection errors, the satellite is not placed into geosynchonous orbit but into a near-geosynchonous orbit, also knows as a drift orbit. Thus, the orbital maneuver to correct drift orbit into gteosynchonous orbit is required, this maneuver is called the station acquisition. For reduction of expenditure and performance of mission, we estimate $\Delta$V budget and required fuel allowance for station acquisition. As the uncertainty of drift orbit by injection error of perigee and apogee kick motor firing prevents us from obtaining exact $\Delta$V budget, statistical Monte Carlo simulation technique is used in order to get optimal $\Delta$V budget and required fuel allowance with a probability of 99%. With respect to Korea satellite launched by Delta-2 launch vehicle in 1995, Monte Carlo analysis is used in order to get various orbital parameters, $\Delta$V budget and required fuel allowance for station acquisition with a probability of 99%.

Lunar Navigation Satellite System refers to a constellation of satellite providing PNT services on the moon. LNSS consists of main satellite and navigation satellites. Navigation satellites orbiting around the moon and a main satellite moves the area between the moon and the L2 point. The navigation satellite performs the same role as the Earth's GNSS satellite, and the main satellite communicates with the Earth for time synchronization. Due to the effect of the non-uniform shape of the moon, it is necessary to focus on the influence of the lunar gravitational field when designing the orbit simulation for navigation satellite. Since the main satellite is farther away from the moon than the navigation satellite, both the earth's gravity and the moon's gravity must be considered simultaneously when designing the orbit simulation for main satellite. Therefore, the main satellite orbit simulation must be designed through the three-body problem between the Earth, the moon, and the main satellite. In this paper, the orbit simulation tool for main satellite and navigation satellite required for LNSS was designed. The orbit simulation considers the environment characteristics of the moon. As a result of comparing long-term data (180 days) with the commercial program GMAT, it was confirmed that there was an error of about 1 m.

본 기술논문은 정지궤도위성의 탑재 궤도 생성 알고리듬 개발에 대하여 다루고 있다. 정지궤도위성 실시간 궤도 생성에 사용되었던 기존 알고리듬의 정밀도를 향상시키기 위한 연구 결과를 제시하였다. 여기서 제시한 알고리듬을 토대로 궤도 오차 요인들의 영향성 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 초기 궤도 결정 오차가 50 m 이내이고, 지상시스템과 탑재 컴퓨터에서 사용되는 위성위치각 (sidereal oscillator) 오차가 ${\pm}0.0025deg$ 이내로 유지되어야만 궤도 요구조건을 만족함을 알 수 있었다. 본 알고리듬에 대한 탑재코드 개발이 이루어졌으며, 소프트웨어 기반 검증 시뮬레이터를 사용한 성능 검증이 수행되고 있다.

In GPS Positioning, the error of satellite orbit will affect user's position accuracy directly, it is important to determine the satellite orbit precise. The real-time orbit is needed in kinematic GPS positioning, the precise GPS orbit from IGS would be delayed long time, so orbit prediction is key to real-time kinematic positioning. We analyze the GPS predicted ephemeris, on the base of comparison of EKF and UKF, a new orbit prediction method is put forward based on UKF in this paper, the result shows that UKF improves the orbit predicted precision and stability. It offers a new method for others satellites orbit determination as Galileo, and so on.

동역학적 방법을 이용한 GPS(Global Positioning System) 위성궤도 결정을 위해 양방향 적분이 가능한 multi-step 방식의 수치적분기를 개발하였으며, 이는 GPS 위성 고도에서 마이크로미터 수준의 정확도를 보였다. 가속도 모델링에서 달, 태양 이외의 천체에 의한 인력은 매우 작으므로 태양복사압에서 경험적 모델로 대체하였다. 위성궤도 미지수는 수치적분된 위성궤도와 IGS(International GNSS Service) 정밀궤도를 이용하여 최소제곱방법으로 결정했다. 이를 위해서는 수치적분기에서 가속도와 함께 미지수에 대한 편미분값을 동시에 적분해야 한다. 추정된 위성궤도 미지수를 이용하여 계산한 잔차의 RMS(Root Mean Squares error)로 부터 위성궤도의 정확도를 검증했다. 2009년 3월 한달의 평균적인 궤도오차 RMS는 5.2mm 였으며, 궤도오차의 절대적인 크기는 위성체의 종류 및 위성진행방향기준 좌표계 상에서 특별히 편향된 형태를 보이지는 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 적용한 태양복사압 모델은 상수항 및 궤도당 1주기에 대한 변화만을 포함하고 있으므로, 궤도당 2주기에 해당하는 궤도오차 양상을 크게 보이고 있으며 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
