  • In this paper, we present observations of the Space Radiation Detectors (SRDs) onboard the Next Generation Small Satellite-1 (NEXTSat-1) satellite. The SRDs, which are a part of the Instruments for the study of Stable/Storm-time Space (ISSS), consist of the Medium-Energy Particle Detector (MEPD) and the High-Energy Particle Detector (HEPD). The MEPD can detect electrons, ions, and neutrals with energies ranging from 20 to 400 keV, and the HEPD can detect electrons over an energy range from 0.35 to 2 MeV. In this paper, we report an event where particle flux enhancements due to substorm injections are clearly identified in the MEPD A observations at energies of tens of keV. Additionally, we report a specific example observation of the electron distributions over a wide energy range in which we identify electron spatial distributions with energies of tens to hundreds of keV from the MEPD and with energy ranging up to a few MeV from the HEPD in the slot region and outer radiation belts. In addition, for an ~1.5-year period, we confirm that the HEPD successfully observed the well-known outer radiation belt electron flux distributions and their variations in time and L shell in a way consistent with the geomagnetic disturbance levels. Last, we find that the inner edge of the outer radiation belt is mostly coincident with the plasmapause locations in L, somewhat more consistent at subrelativistic energies than at relativistic energies. Based on these example events, we conclude that the SRD observations are of reliable quality, so they are useful for understanding the dynamics of the inner magnetosphere, including substorms and radiation belt variations.

  • 본 논문에서는 저궤도 운동 특성을 갖는 다목적실용 위성2호의 위성 거리 측정을 해석하고 최적의 운용 방안을 제안하였다. 위성의 궤도 특성은 방사속도 성분, 가속도 성분 그리고 가속도 속도 성분으로 해석하고, 위성 궤도 운동에 따른 위성 거리 측정 신호는 도플러 주파수, 도플러 주파수 변화율 그리고 도플러 주파수 변화율 속도 성분으로 해석하였다. 위성 거리 측정에 영향을 미치는 성분에 대한 거리의 정확성 그리고 거리 측정의 모호성 가능성을 정량적으로 해석하여 거리 측정의 최적 운용 파라미터를 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 해석된 결과는 위성 거리 측정을 위한 소형 지구국 시스템 제원 및 설계 파라미터로 활용할 수 있다.

  • 본 논문에서는 (초)소형위성의 뉴스페이스 특징 및 대응방안을 소개하고, 국내기술을 활용한 우리나라의 우주산업화 전략을 제시한다. 최근 스타링크를 포함하여 전세계적으로 개발되는 (초)소형위성들은 저비용 및 경량의 군집위성 특징을 가지고 있으므로, COTS(Commercial Off-The-Shelf) 부품 사용 및 위성 중량, 형상, 대량생산 등을 고려하고 군집운용을 준비해야 한다. 특히 다중위성 운용시 주파수 간섭을 고려하여 MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) 기술 개발 및 정부 차원의 주파수 확보를 위한 준비와 노력이 필요하다. 삼성전자와 SK하이닉스의 상용급 메모리 중에서 내방사선성이 좋은 메모리와 중소기업의 고신뢰성 패키징 및 우주환경시험 기술을 이용하는 우주급 메모리 분야는 우주산업화 전략으로 가능성이 있다.

  • The next generation small satellite-1 (NEXTSat-1) program has been kicked off in 2012, and it will be launched in 2016 for the science missions and the verification of space core technologies. The payloads for these science missions are the Instrument for the Study of Space Storms (ISSS) and NIR Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history (NISS). The ISSS and the NISS have been developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Korea Astronomy and Space science Institute (KASI) respectively. The ISSS detects plasma densities and particle fluxes of 10 MeV energy range near the Earth and the NISS uses spectrometer. In order to verify the spacecraft core technologies in the space, the total of 7 space core technologies (SCT) will be applied to the NEXTSat-1 for space verification and those are under development. Thus, the operation modes for the ISSS and the NISS for space science missions and 7 SCTs for technology missions are analyzed for the required operation time during the NEXTSat-1's mission life time of 2 years. In this paper, the operational concept of the NEXTSat-1's science missions as well as the verification of space core technologies are presented considering constraints of volume, mass, and power after launch.

  • 위성의 임무 수행 도중에 발생하는 소프트웨어 버그는 치명적인 문제점을 야기하여 위성 전체의 임무 실패를 초래할 수도 있다. 이를 막기 위해 개발단계부터 수많은 테스트와 검증을 수행하여 비행소프트웨어가 높은 신뢰도를 지니도록 만들어 준다 [1]. 하지만 위성이 발사 후 궤도에 올라갔을 때 하드웨어 측면에서의 문제, 혹은 미 발견 버그 등의 예상치 못한 문제들이 발견될 수도 있다. 이 경우 비행소프트웨어를 궤도 상에서 수정해야만 위성이 지속적으로 임무를 수행할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성의 reprogramming capability를 확인하고 reprogramming 절차에 대해 알아보고 검증한다.

  • In this paper, a small portion of coastline on the EAST SEA was studied using CORONA panoramic satellite photo and 1:5000 Korean National Topographic Map. The project site near Kangneung city was 3 Km shoreline on the Kangmoon Beach and the SongJeong Beach, which have suffered from severe erosion. The first and the most important step was to rectify a CORONA image over the project site. A rigid mathematical model and a heuristic polynomial transformation were used for the purpose. The rectified image was overlaid with 1:5000 Korean National Topographic Map produced by aerial mapping. Among numerous methods for shoreline erosion measurement, area-based approach was chosen and used for the computation for annual shoreline recession. The final result of the analysis was that the average recession in the period of 1963-1998 was 33.6m and the annual rate was 0.96m.

  • 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.
