Star sensor provides highly accurate attitude information by imaging the stars in the dark space. The sensor output is disabled when the sensor avoidance of the Sunlight or the Earth's albedo is not satisfied. This paper studies the Sun and Earth avoidance characteristics of the star sensors according to the mounting direction. Then the paper proposes a systematic way of determining the star sensors mounting direction for typical remote sensing missions

Star tracker placement configuration is proposed and the properness of the placement configuration is verified for star tracker's sun avoidance angle requirement. Precision attitude determination system is successfully designed using a gyro-star tracker inertial reference system for a candidate LEO spacecraft. Elaborate kalman filter formulation for a spacecraft is proposed for covariance analysis. The covariance analysis is performed to verify the capability of the proposed attitude determination system. The analysis results show that the attitude determination error and drift rate error are good enough to satisfy the mission of a candidate spacecraft.

In this paper, unmanned vehicle system and VFF algorithm development with vehicle dynamics is the main topic as a part of Intelligent Transportation System. Unmanned vehicle system is classified by vehicle system and control system. Authors used RC servo motor for longitudinal control via throttle angle, shift lever control, and brake control. For lateral control, authors used step motor, equipped with reduction gear. Unmanned vehicle has nine ultrasonic sensors in front of the unmanned vehicle. After the microcontroller computes the distance between unmanned vehicle and obstacle, the control computer calculates the steering angle enough to avoid the obstacle.

Recently with the conclusion of fisheries agreements between Korea and Japan, and between Korea and China, trawlers in korea must operate in smaller fishing ground than before. As a result of this, the possibilities of collisionin increases gradually between trawlers under operation in this area. Authors performed a series of experiments on board to give the information of collision avoiding action to navigators of trawlers. The obtained results are summerized as follows : 1. The greater the rudder angle, the smaller the value of T, but there is no big diffierence in K due to rudder angle. 2. The greatest distance is to be kept by the give way vessel to avoid collision when the crossing course angle is $70^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$. In this case the safety minimum approaching distance must be more than 5 times of her own length. 3. Risk of collision in crossing is more greater in obtuse situation than in acute one. 4. The navigator of the give way vessel must take an action to avoid collisions outside of the minimum safety approaching distance.
