Wireless communication systems using airship have been proposed in worldwide. The airship will be located at the stratosphere about $20{\sim}23\;km$ above the sea level. The position of airship will vary within the station keeping range with time due to the drag of the wind in the stratosphere. When the earth station antenna has a high gain without the tracking function, the antenna performance may be degraded by a small variation of the airship. This means that variation of airship location could result in serious degradation of the system performance. In this paper, degradation in earth station's Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) and Gain to noise Temperature ratio (G/T) due to the stratospheric platform movements has been derived by calculating the deviation angle of the main beam directions between the earth station and the platform antenna. In this case, the antenna of the earth station has been assumed circular and/or patch array antennas.

In this paper, it is proposed the phase shifter array active system to receive digital satellite broadcasting for vehicle. To receive satellite broadcasting data in vehicle, it is inevitable to have active antenna system, which traces the satellite in real time. Also if it is used in vehicle, it must be thin and light structure. To develop this type of antenna system, several techniques should be integrated properly. These are the design and manufacturing technique of high gain antenna, algorithm for tracking satellite and its manufacturing technique, controller design and manufacturing technique, system integration technique and so on. The validity of the proposed AVDBS system was confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

GNSS receiver which uses the weak satellite signal is very vulnerable to the intentional jamming or non-intentional electromagnetic interference. It is a very simple method among the use method of GNSS receiver to vary tracking loop bandwidth of satellite signal appropriately as the jamming signal level. In this paper, this anti-jamming performance is experimented and analyzed in the laboratory and the anechoic chamber by the GNSS simulator to generate the satellite signal and the jamming signal generator to generate the jamming signal.

A new mathematical model to predict the beam pointing instability of a nonconservative two-body satellite system in spinning injection mode has been developed by using Newton-Euler and projection methods. Since the on-axis and null axis of the omni antenna with toroidal pattern beam form a right angle, wobbling of the antenna on-axis is measured by determining the Euler angles which represent the orientation of the satellite's spin axis. Because of the complexity of the system which is a time varying, nonstationary, nonlinear dynamical system, a numerical method is used for the analysis. Computer simulation results present the effects of the mass distribution and internal mass motion on the antenna beam pointing.

As a multi-mission GEO satellite, COMS system is being developed jointly by KARI, ETRI, KORDI, KMA, and industries from both abroad and domestic. EADS ASRTIUM is the prime contractor for manufacturing the COMS. ETRI is developing the COMS Ka-band payload and SGCS with the fund from MIC. COMS Satellite Ground Control System (SGCS) will be the only system for monitor and control of the satellite in orbit. In order to fulfill the mission operations of the three payloads and spacecraft bus, COMS SGCS performs telemetry reception and processing, satellite tracking and ranging, command generation and transmission, satellite mission planning, flight dynamics operations, and satellite simulation, By the proper functional allocations, COMS SGCS is divided into five subsystems such as TTC, ROS, MPS, FDS, and CSS. In this paper, functional design of the COMS SGCS is described as five subsystems and the interfaces among the subsystems.

In this paper, we propose a novel unambiguous correlation function for composite binary offset carrier (CBOC) signal tracking. First, we observe that a sub-carrier of CBOC signal is seen as a sum of four partial sub-carriers, and generate four partial-correlations composing the CBOC autocorrelation. Then, we obtain an unambiguous correlation function with a sharp main-peak by re-combining the partial correlations. From numerical results, we confirm that the proposed unambiguous correlation function offers a better tracking performance than the conventional correlation functions in terms of the tracking error standard deviation and multipath error envelope.

We developed a software system called IODS(ISSA Orbit Determination System), which can predict the orbit of arbitary artificial satellite using the numerical method. For evaluating the orbit prediction accuracy of IODS, the orbital data predicted for the meteorological satellite NOAA-11 and the stationary satellite INTELSAT-V are intercompared with those tracked at the Central Bureau of Meterology and the Kum-San Satellite Communication Station. And the Perturbations affecting the orbit of these artificial satellites are quantitatively analyzed. The orbital variation and the eclipse phenomina due to the shadow are analyzed for a hypothetical geostationary satellite called KORSAT-1 which is assumed to be located in longitude $110^{circ}E$.

Since its launching on 21 December 1999, the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-I (KOMPSAT-I) has been successfully operated by the Mission Control Element (MCE), which was developed by the ETRI. Most of the major functions of the MCE have been successfully demonstrated and verified during the three years of the mission life of the satellite. This paper presents the operational performances of the various functions in MAPS. We show the performance and analysis of orbit determinations using ground-based tracking data and GPS navigation solutions. We present four instances of the orbit maneuvers that guided the spacecraft form injection orbit into the nominal on-orbit. We include the ground-based attitude determination using telemetry data and the attitude maneuvers for imaging mission. The event prediction, mission scheduling, and command planning functions in MAPS subsequently generate the spacecraft mission operations and command plan. The fuel accounting and the realtime ground track display also support the spacecraft mission operations.

To provide more instructive and a safer ground control operation environments for satellite operators, and subsequently to implement a better look-and-feel user interface and a structural mechanism to enhance the efficiency of control and monitoring facilities, we have developed a prototype(laboratory model) ground control softwares targeting for the first generation KOREASAT scheduled to be launched in 1995. As far as the functionality is concerned, the developed system is covering almost all the mission phase operational functions except for some functions like antenna tracking control that are necessary for real operation environments. Most of the functions of the system is realized in softwares but some hardwares needed for TM/TC RF communications are also included in it. The system is now being integrated and under the system test. The performance and functionality is to be evaluated by the end of this year by using the satellite software simulator. Next year, this system could be configured to be used as a workbench for a online/off-line analysis of the operating KOREASAT satellites.
