In this paper, attitude control laws for simultaneous pointing of multiple spacecrafts are considered under a formation flying scenario. The basic approach lies in adaptive feedback gains using relative attitude information or maneuver time approximation for coordinated attitude control. Each control law is targeted to balancing mean motion or to correcting system response to the slowest satellite. The control gain adaptation is constructed by two approaches. The first one is using variable damping gain to manipulate speed of a fast system response, and the second one uses alternate natural frequency of the system under control. The validity and stability of the proposed approaches are examined analytically and tested through numerical simulations.

The development of a low earth orbit microsatellite is recognized as a good means of enhancing the technological capability, to gain experience and to train engineers to acquire knowledge and experience in space systems. Most developed countries in space technology do not allow the transfer of critical space technologies such as technology involved in attitude determination and control systems. And the export of critical components and equipment such as high precision attitude sensors is tightly controlled. Therefore it is inevitable to independently acquire self-design and manufacturing capability to implement a satellite mission. The KITSAT-3 program was aimed at verifying the capability to design, develop and operate an indigenous microsatellite system, which includes such critical technologies and associated components and equipment, as well as train engineers. KITSAT-3 was launched on May 26, 1999 using the Indian launcher PSLV-C2. The operations team has successfully performed a full functional checkout during the launch and early operations phase and the satellite is presently in a normal operations mode. This paper introduces the KITSAT-3 program and the results of the initial operations.

Advanced Real-Time Satellite Simulator(ARTSS) has been developed to support the telemetry, tracking and command operations of the ETRI satellite control system and to provide satellite engineers a more powerful and informative satellite simulations tool on the desktop. To provide extensive simulation functions for a communication satellite system in the pre-operational and operational missions, ARTSS uses a geosynchronous orbit(GEO) satellite model consisting of the attitude and orbit control subsystem, the power subsystem, the thermal subsystem, the telemetry, command and ranging subsystem, and the communications payload subsystem. In this paper, the system features and functions are presented and the satellite subsystem models are explained in detail.

A sliding mode control of spacecraft attitude tracking with actuator, especially reaction wheel, is presented. The sliding mode controller is derived based on quaternion parameterization for the kinematic equations of motion. The reaction wheel dynamic equations represented by wheel input voltage are presented. The input voltage to wheel is calculated from the sliding mode controller and reaction wheel dynamics. The global asymptotic stability is shown using a Lyapunov analysis. In addition the robustness analysis is performed for nonlinear system with parameter variations and disturbances. It is shown that the controller ensures control objectives for the spacecraft with reaction wheels.

The deployable space structure is necessary to minimize the satellite volume and launch cost. For the deployment, passive deployment mechanism has widely been used to attenuate a latch shock induced when the structure is just fully deployed. To reduce the latch shock, viscous damper is applied to the passive deployment mechanism and it can control the deployment speed of the structure. In this paper, dynamic analysis of the deployable space structure using the passive deployment mechanism with the viscous damper has been performed. The viscous damping values have been optimized through numerical simulation. The satellite's attitude influenced by pyro activation for the release of the structure has also been investigated.

This paper describes an experiment for three-dimensional positioning for a pair of KOMPSAT stereostrips using the ancillary data and a single ground control point. The photogrammetric model for three-dimensional positioning was performed as follows: first, initialization of orbital and attitude parameters derived from ancillary data; second, adjustment of orbital and attitude parameters for the satellite to minimize the ground position error with respect to a GCP using the collinearity condition; third, determination of actual satellite position; and lastly, space intersection. This model was tested for a pair of stereo strips with 0.6 base-to-height ratio and GCPs identified from a 1:5,000 scale digital map. As the result, the satellite position of offset was corrected by only one GCP and the accuracy for the geometric modeling showed 38.89m RMSE.

Time-Optimal solutions for attitude control with reaction wheels as well as with thrusters are studied. The suggested varying-time-sharing ratio thrusting is found to reduce the maneuvering time enormously. The hybrid control such as sequential hybrid and simultaneous hybrid with reaction wheels and thrusters are considered. The results show that simultaneous hybrid method reduces the maneuver time very much. Spacecraft model is KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite(KOMPSAT)-II, which is being developed by KARI in KOREA as an agile maneuvering satellite.

네 개의 반작용휠이 장착된 위성에 두 개의 우주검증용 제어모멘트자이로가 탑재되었다고 가정하고, 이들을 이용한 위성 고기동 방법에 대해서 연구해 보았다. 토크가 큰 제어모멘트자이로를 먼저 사용하여 위성의 자세오차를 줄인 후에, 반작용휠을 통해 나머지 자세오차를 제어하는 방법을 제안하였다. 본 방법을 사용할 경우, 제어모멘트자이로에서 발생하는 특이점 문제를 회피할 수 있으며, 토크 명령 계산시 김벌각 정보가 필요 없다는 장점이 있다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해, 본 방법이 기존에 연구된 방법들에 비해 위성의 기동성능에는 큰 차이가 없으며, 필요한 반작용휠의 모멘텀도 크게 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다.

CMG는 인공위성의 자세제어에 필수적인 구동기로 각광받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CMG의 특이점 회피를 위해 제한된 각운동량 범위(2H)내에서 사용할 경우, CMG의 설계시 고려할 요소를 확인해본다. 아울러 3개의 CMG가 사용될 경우에 대해 필요한 분석과 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 4개의 CMG가 사용될 경우, CMG의 특이점 회피를 위해 기존에 사용하였던 설치방식과 다른 개선된 설치방식을 제안함으로써 위성 운용시 자세기동 빈도가 많은 롤 또는 피치축의 한쪽 축방향 회전에 대한 기동 성능향상 방안을 확인하였다.

국내의 위성 개발 프로그램은 정지궤도위성인 통신해양기상위성과 저궤도위성인 다목적실용위성으로 대별할 수 있다. 각 위성은 임무 요구조건을 충족하는 추진시스템을 탑재하고 있다. 통신해양기상위성에는 위성체의 지구정지궤도 진입, 자세 및 궤도 제어/조정을 위하여 요구되는 추력과 토크를 제공하는 이원추진제 추진시스템인 화학추진시스템이 탑재되어 있으며, 반면 다목적실용위성에는 궤도전이 기능이 배제된, 궤도상 자세제어가 주목적인 단일추진제 추진시스템이 장착되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 두 추진시스템의 차이점 및 특성을 비교 분석한다.
