ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization)는 GNSS (global navigation satellite system)를 이용하는 PBN (performance based navigation) 도입을 권고하였다. 우리나라도 PBN 로드맵을 수립하여 항공분야에서 GNSS를 이용할 수 있는 환경을 갖추려 시도하고 있으며, 2014년 10월 한국형 SBAS (satellite-based augmentation system) 개발을 위해 KASS (Korea augmentation satellite system) 사업을 본격적으로 착수하였다. 항공기가 GNSS를 이용하기 위해서는 수신기와 같은 항법장비를 탑재해야 한다. GNSS 항법장비는 항로, 이륙 도착, 접근 등 비행 단계에서 사용되기 때문에 장비의 규격은 다양하고 각각 별도로 그 기능과 성능을 규정하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 현재까지 제정된 항공용 GNSS 장비 표준안과 규정된 항법장비 및 인터페이스 규격에 대해 분석하여 정리하였다. KASS 개발 구축 시 비행시험 및 비행절차 개발 등 항공용 GNSS 탑재장비 등이 요구되는 곳에 활용성이 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The satellite employs an adaptive beamformer to efficiently detect various signals and to suppress multiple interference signals, simultaneously. Although the adaptive beamforming satellite system needs Angle-of-Arrival (AOA) information of the desired signal, it is difficult to estimate the signal AOAs on the satellite environment. However, the AOA estimation on the ground control tower is more efficient and accurate comparing to the satellite environment. In this paper, we propose an adaptive beamforming satellite system based on the signal location information on the ground, consisting on an angle estimator, an adaptive beamformer, and signal processing & D/B unit. The ground control tower estimates the accurate location of the signal source, and it sends the estimated coordinates of the desired signal to the satellite. The angle estimator mounted on the satellite calculates the desired signal AOA, based on the signal location information transmitted from the ground control center. The satellite beamformer detects the desired signal and suppresses unwanted signals based on the signal AOA calculated by the angle estimator. We provide computer simulation results to present the performance of the proposed satellite adaptive beamforming system based on the signal location information.

Thermal analysis is performed to protect the propulsion system of low-earth-orbit earth observation satellite from unwanted thermal disaster like propellant freezing. To implement thermal design adequately, heater powers for the propulsion system estimated through the thermal analysis are decided. Based on those values anticipated herein, the average power for propulsion system becomes 22.02 watts when the only one redundant catalyst bed heater is turned on. When for the preparation of thruster firing, 25.93 watts of the average power is required. All heaters selected for propulsion components operate to prevent propellant freezing meeting the thermal requirements for the propulsion system with the worst-case average voltage, i.e. 25 volts.

The satellite networks provide global coverage. The integration of terrestrial networks with a satellite network is the most attractive approach to develop a global communication system. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is intended to be the system that will merge the internet with the telecom world. A user with a dual-mode terminal can access both the satellite network and terrestrial network. The seamless handoff between two networks and a user's QoS level is the major issue concerning this integration. In this paper, we propose IMS-based satellite/terrestrial integrated network architecture for a global communication system. Based on the proposed architecture, an inter-network handoff and end-to-end soft QoS procedure is discussed. Our proposed soft QoS scheme is also analyzed to calculate the number of rejected calls.

It has been developed to calculate fuel budget for a geostationary communication and broadcasting satellite. It is quite essential that the pre-launch fuel budget estimation must account for the deterministic transfer and drift orbit maneuver requirements. After on-station, the calculation of satellite lifetime should be based on the estimation of remaining fuel and assessment of actual performance. These estimations step from the proper algorithms to produce the prediction of satellite lifetime. This paper concentrates on the fuel estimation method that was studied for calculation of the propellant budget by using the given algorithms. Applications of this method are discussed for a communication and broadcasting satellite.

In the case of satellite navigation positioning, the shielding of satellite signals is determined by the environment of the region at which a user is located, and the navigation performance is determined accordingly. The accuracy of user position determination varies depending on the dilution of precision (DOP) which is a measuring index for the geometric characteristics of visible satellites; and if the minimum visible satellites are not secured, position determination is impossible. Currently, the GLObal NAvigation Satellite system (GLONASS) of Russia is used to supplement the navigation performance of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in regions where GPS cannot be used. In addition, the European Satellite Navigation System (Galileo) of the European Union, the Chinese Satellite Navigation System (BeiDou) of China, the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) of Japan, and the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) of India are aimed to achieve the full operational capability (FOC) operation of the navigation system. Thus, the number of satellites available for navigation would rapidly increase, particularly in the Asian region; and when integrated navigation is performed, the improvement of navigation performance is expected to be much larger than that in other regions. To secure a stable and prompt position solution, GPS-GLONASS integrated navigation is generally performed at present. However, as available satellite navigation systems have been diversified, finding the minimum satellite constellation combination to obtain the best navigation performance has recently become an issue. For this purpose, it is necessary to examine and predict the navigation performance that could be obtained by the addition of the third satellite navigation system in addition to GPS-GLONASS. In this study, the current status of the integrated navigation performance for various satellite constellation combinations was analyzed based on 2014, and the navigation performance in 2020 was predicted based on the FOC plan of the satellite navigation system for each country. For this prediction, the orbital elements and nominal almanac data of satellite navigation systems that can be observed in the Korean Peninsula were organized, and the minimum elevation angle expecting signal shielding was established based on Matlab and the performance was predicted in terms of DOP. In the case of integrated navigation, a time offset determination algorithm needs to be considered in order to estimate the clock error between navigation systems, and it was analyzed using two kinds of methods: a satellite navigation message based estimation method and a receiver based method where a user directly performs estimation. This simulation is expected to be used as an index for the establishment of the minimum satellite constellation for obtaining the best navigation performance.

SBAS(Satellite Based Augmentation System) 시스템에서는 GNSS 사용자들의 위치 정확도 향상을 위해 위성궤도 및 시계보정정보를 제공하고 있는데, 본 논문에서는 이러한 보정정보의 정확도에 대해 분석하였다. IGS(International GNSS Service)에서 제공하는 GPS 위성의 정밀궤도력을 참값으로 가정하고, 그에 대한 오차를 이용하여 정확도를 분석/수행하였다. 이때 IGS 정밀궤도력과의 정확한 비교를 위해 GPS 위성에 대한 안테나 위상중심 편차와 P1-C1 편이를 고려하였다. SBAS 위성궤도 및 시계보정 정보로는 미국의 WAAS와 일본의 MSAS 보정정보를 이용하였다. 정확도 분석을 통해 SBAS에서 제공하는 위성궤도 보정정보와 위성시계 보정정보가 상당한 상관관계를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 보정정보의 정확도는 SBAS 시스템의 지상 네트워크 크기와 위성의 궤적에 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다.

An advanced real-time satellite simulator (ARTSS) has been developed to support the ground operations activities of the ETRI satellite control system, such as testing of the system facilities, validation of flight control procedures, verification of satellite commands as well as training of the ground operators. The design of ARTSS is based on the top-down approach and makes use of a modular programming to ensure flexibility in modification and expansion of the system. Graphics-based monitoring and control facilities enhance the satellite simulation environment. The software spacecraft model in ARTSS simulates the characteristics of a geostationary communication satellite using a momentum bias three-axis stabilization control technique. The system can be also interfaced with a hardware payload subsystem such as Ku-band communication transponder to enhance the simulator capability. Therefore, ARTSS is a high fidelity satellite simulation tool that can be used on low-cost desk top computers. In this paper, we describe the design features, the simulation models and the real-time operating functions of the simulator.

Since the operation of the first satellite-based navigation service, satellite positioning has played an increasing role in both surveying and geodesy, and has become an indispensable tool for precise relative positioning. However, in some situations, e.g. at a low angle of elevation, the use of satellites for navigation is seriously restricted because obstacles like buildings and mountains can block signals. As a mean to resolve this problem, the quasi-zenith satellite system has been proposed as a next-generation satellite navigation system. Quasi-zenith satellite is a system which simultaneously deploys several satellites in a quasi-zenith geostationary orbit so that one of the satellites always stay close to the zenith if viewed from a specific point on the ground of East Asia. Thus, if a position measurement function compatible with CPS is installed in the quasi-zenith and stationary satellites, and these satellites are utilized together with the CPS, four satellites can be accessed simultaneously nearly all day long and a substantial improvement in position measurement, especially in metropolitan areas, can be achieved. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of quasi-zenith satellite system on positioning accuracy improvement through simulation by using precise orbital information of the satellites and a three-dimensional digital map. Through this developed simulation system, it is possible to calculate the number of simultaneously visible satellites and available area for positioning without the need of actual observation. Furthermore, this system can calculate the Dilution Of Precision (DOP) and the error distribution.
