중력파 관측은 2015년에 사상 최초로 검출에 성공한 이래, 불과 5년 만에 주 1 회 이상 안정적으로 검출되고 있으며 검출기들의 성능이 계속 향상됨에 따라 관측 범위와 빈도가 급격히 확대되는 추세에 있다. 이제 중력파는 전자기파 외에 우주를 보는 새로운 창으로서 확고한 지위를 구축하고 있으며 향후 무궁무진한 발전의 잠재력을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 가능성을 일찌감치 내다본 미국과 유럽의 선도 국가들은 현재 운영 중인 LIGO와 Virgo 검출기의 지속적인 업그레이드는 물론 Cosmic Explorer, Einstein Telescope 등 차세대 거대 검출기 개발을 병행해서 진행하고 있으며, 일본, 인도, 중국, 호주 등 후발주자들도 제각기 다양한 중력파 검출기 계획들을 추진하고 있다. 이에 한국천문연구원에서도 2019년부터 중력파 검출기술 연구를 시작하였으며, 특히 한국과학기술원 물리학과와 협력하여 차세대 핵심기술인 양자잡음 저감기술을 중점적으로 개발하고 있다. 이 발표에서는 본 연구팀의 최근 연구 진행상황을 요약하고 국제 중력파 검출기 공동개발 참여 현황을 소개한다.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has been developing a next-generation coronagraph (NGC) in cooperation with NASA to measure the coronal electron density, temperature, and speed using four different filters around 400 nm. To demonstrate technology for the measurement through the 2017 total solar eclipse across the USA, KASI organized an expedition team to demonstrate the coronagraph measurement scheme and the instrumental technology. The observation site was in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA. We built an eclipse observation system, so-called Diagnostic Coronal Experiment (DICE), which is composed of two identical telescopes to improve a signal to noise ratio. The observation was conducted with 4 wavelengths and 3 linear polarization directions according to the planned schedule in a limited total eclipse time of about 140 seconds.Polarization information of corona from the data was successfully obtained but we failed to get the coronal electron temperature and speed information due to a low signal-to-noise ratio of the optical system. In this study, we report the development of DICE and observation results. TSE observation and analysis by using our own developed instrument gave an important lesson that a coronagraph should be carefully designed to archive the scientific purpose. This experience through TSE observation will be very useful for a success of NASA-KASI joint missions called the Balloon-borne Investigation of the Temperature and Speed of Electrons in the Corona (BITSE) and COronal Diagnostic EXperiment (CODEX).

Science and Technology Satellite-3 (STSAT-3) is a 150 kg class micro satellite based with the national space program. The STSAT-3 system consists of a space segment, ground segment, launch service segment, and various external interfaces including additional ground stations to support launch and early operation phases. The major ground segment is the ground station at the Satellite Technology Research Center, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology site. The ground station provides the capability to monitor and control STSAT-3, conduct STSAT-3 mission planning, and receive, process, and distribute STSAT-3 payload data to satisfy the overall missions of STSAT-3. The ground station consists of the mission control element and the data receiving element. This ground station is designed with the concept of low cost and high efficiency. In this paper, the requirements and design of the ground station that has been developed are examined.

We present proton-induced single event effects (SEEs) and γ-ray-induced total ionizing dose (TID) data for 1 Gbit lowpower double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (LPDDR SDRAM) fabricated on a 5 μm epitaxial layer (54 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology). We compare our radiation tolerance data for LPDDR SDRAM with those of general DDR SDRAM. The data confirms that our devices under test (DUTs) are potential candidates for space flight applications.
