차세대 대형위성에 대한 우주환경모사를 위한 대형열진공챔버가 한국항공우주연구원에 의해 성공적으로 국산화 구축되었다. 유효직경 8미터, 유효깊이 10미터의 대형열진공챔버는 크게 진공계와 열제어계, 방진계로 구분되며, $3.7{\times}10^{-5}Pa$($5{\times}10^{-7}torr$) 이하의 진공 환경에서 액체질소를 이용해 위성을 감싸는 쉬라우드의 온도를 $-190^{\circ}C$ 이하로 유지할 수 있고, $10^{-5}g_{rms}$ 이하의 진동레벨을 갖는 방진시스템을 갖추어 우주환경에서의 광학시험을 가능하게 한다. 또한 챔버내에 설치된 할로겐램프를 이용하여 쉬라우드의 온도를 섭씨 123도까지 상승시켜 베이크아웃 시험을 수행할 수 있으며, PLC(Programmable Logic Controller)를 기반으로 한 제어프로그램을 이용하여 대형열진공챔버의 자동화 제어를 수행할 수 있다.

A vacuum chamber temperature control system of Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) storage ring is a subsystem upgraded PAL control system, which is based upon Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) [1]. There are two control components, data acquisition system (SA120 data logger), development control system IOC (Input/Output Controller) at the storage ring of PAL. There are 240 vacuum chamber at the storage ring. It was a very important problem to solve how to monitor such a large number of vacuum chamber temperature distributed around the ring. The IOC connect MODBUS/JBUS field network to asynchronous serial ports for communication with serial device. It can simultaneously control up to 4 data acquisition systems. Upon receiving a command from a IOC running under Windows2k through the network, the IOC communicate through the slave serial interface ports to SA120. We added some software components on the top of EPICS toolkit. The design of the vacuum control system is discussed. This paper describes the development vacuum chamber temperature control system and how the design of this system.

A thermal vacuum chamber is mainly used to simulate thermal environments of a test satellite in satellite orbits in which daily temperature variations range from 80K to above 400K depending on solar radiation under the vacuum below $10^{-4}$ torr. The test facility is quite complex and consists of expensive parts. So any modification of control software is discouraged in fear of unexpected system failure. The purpose of this study is to develop a realtime dynamics model of the thermal vacuum chamber in view of controller design and simulate its electrical inputs and outputs for interface with a PLC (programmable logic controller). A PLC program that was used in the thermal vacuum chamber is applied to the realtime simulator. The realized simulator dynamics is found to be quite similar to that of the thermal vacuum chamber and serve to an appropriate plant to verify the control performance of a programmed PLC.

The present paper studies the thermally-induced vibration phenomenon of the flexible space boom structure. In order to simulate the thermally-induced vibration phenomenon of the flexible thin boom structure of the spacecraft with the attached tip mass in space, the thermally-induced vibration including thermal flutter is experimentally investigated at various thermal environments using a heating lamp in vacuum chamber. In this experimental study, fluctuating characteristics, natural frequency and thermal strains of the thermally-induced vibration are parametrically investigated at various thermal environment conditions. Finally the thermally-induced vibration of the flexible boom structure of the orbiting earth satellite in solar radiation environment from the earth eclipse region including umbra and penumbra is simulated using the power control of the heating lamp in the vacuum chamber.

It is not efficient and scarcely out of the question to use commercial expensive electron beam lithography system widely used for semiconductor fabrication process for the manufacturing application field of various devices in the small business scope. Then scanning electron microscope based electron beam machining system is maybe regarded as a powerful model can be used for it simply. To get a complete suite of thus proper system, proper chamber with high vacuum condition is necessarily required more than anything else to modify scanning electron microscope. In this study, special chamber unit using rotary pump and diffusion pump to obtain high vacuum degree was designed and manufactured and various evaluation tests fur recognize the vacuum characteristic were accomplished.

A mathematical model and control laws for an Electronic-Vacuum Booster (EVB) for application to vehicle cruise control will be presented. Also this paper includes performance test result of EVB and vehicle cruise control experiments. The pressure difference between the vacuum chamber and the apply chamber is controlled by a PWM-solenoid-valve. Since the pressure at the vacuum chamber is identical to that of the engine intake manifold, the output of the electronic-vacuum booster Is sensitive to engine speed. The performance characteristics of the electronic-vacuum booster have been investigated via computer simulations and vehicle tests. The mathematical model of the electronic-vacuum booster developed in this study and a two-state dynamic engine model have been used in the simulations. It has been shown by simulations and vehicle tests that the EVB-cruise control system can provide a vehicle with good distance control performance in both high speed and low speed stop and go driving situations.

This paper describes a theoretical analysis and experimental verification on the performances of a vacuum-compatible air bearing, which is designed with a cascaded exhaust scheme to minimize the air leakage in a vacuum environment. The design of the vacuum-compatible air bearing equipped with the differential exhaust system requires great care because several design parameters, such as the number of exhaust stages, diameter of exhaust tube, pumping speed of a vacuum pump, and bearing clearance greatly influence the air leakage and thus degree of vacuum. In this study, a performance analysis method was proposed to estimate the performances of the air bearing, such as load capacity, stiffness, and air leakage. Results indicate that the load capacity and stiffness of the air bearing was improved as its boundary pressure, which was determined by the $1^{st}$ exhaust method, was lowered, and the dominant factors on the chamber's degree of vacuum were the number of exhaust stages, exhaust tube diameter and bearing clearance. A vacuum chamber and air bearing stage using porous pad were fabricated to verify the theoretical analysis. The results demonstrate that chamber pressure up to an order of $10^{-3}$ Pa was achieved with the air bearing stage operating inside the chamber, and this analysis method was valid by comparing predicted values with experimental data, for the mass flow rates from the porous pad, and pressures at each exhaust port and chamber, respectively.

진공게이지의 비교교정 방법으로 교정이 가능하고-비교교정은, 2차표준기라고 부르는 교정되어진 게이지와 교정할 다른 게이지의 지시값을 읽어 비교는 방법- 다른 진공관련 실험을 할 수 있는 기체 유량 시스템을 개발하였다. 교정시스템에의 진공용기는 터보분자펌프(TMP)에 의해서 배기하고, 후면에 스크롤펌프를 배치하여 배기시스템을 꾸몄다. 터보분자펌프의 최대허용가능 압력은 펌프의 주입구에서 0.1 Pa까지이며, 이보다 압력이 높아지면 배기속도가 감소하며 압력대 이하의 환경을 조절하기가 매우 어렵게 된다. 현재 133 Pa까지의 높은 압력을 발생시킬 수 있는 새롭게 개발된 기체유량조절시스템은 바이패스 라인에 맞도록 설계된 컨덕턴스-리듀서를 설치하여 터보분자펌프를 안전하게 운용할 수 있도록 하였다. 추가로 진공용기안에 전체압력 범위(0.1 Pa ~ 133 Pa)의 압력을 생성하며 기체 주입과 압력구배를 연구하였다. 압력의 최대 편차는 용기의 위쪽 방향에 위치한 가스 주입구에서 가까운 위치 C에서 1.6%로 나타났다.
