본 고찰은 위성시스템을 구성하는 본체, 고해상도 카메라로 대표되는 주탑재체 및 과학임무용으로 사용되는 과학 목적 및 기술검증용 탑재체 중 본체와 주탑재체를 제외한 탑재체에 대한 제품보증 방안에 관한 것이다. 현재까지 우리나라는 위성 개발 프로그램을 통해 위성 본체 및 주탑재체에 대한 제품보증을 성공적으로 수행하여 왔다고 할 수 있다. 다만, 모든 위성 개발 프로그램에서 개발예산과 기간에 제한이 있음을 고려할 때, 본체나 주탑재체와 비교시 그 중요도가 상대적으로 낮다고 할 수 있는 과학 및 기술검증용 탑재체에 대한 적정한 제품보증 수준을 결정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 고찰은 이러한 관점에서 과학 및 기술검증용 탑재체에 대한 제품보증 방향을 모색하기 위한 것이다.

This paper introduces volume-sharing multi-aperture imaging (VMAI), a potential approach proposed for volume reduction in space-borne imagers, with the aim of achieving high-resolution ground spatial imagery using deep learning methods, with reduced volume compared to conventional approaches. As an intermediate step in the VMAI payload development, we present a phase-1 design targeting a 1-meter ground sampling distance (GSD) at 500 km altitude. Although its optical imaging capability does not surpass conventional approaches, it remains attractive for specific applications on small satellite platforms, particularly surveillance missions. The design integrates one wide-field and three narrow-field cameras with volume sharing and no optical interference. Capturing independent images from the four cameras, the payload emulates a large circular aperture to address diffraction and synthesizes high-resolution images using deep learning. Computational simulations validated the VMAI approach, while addressing challenges like lower signal-to-noise (SNR) values resulting from aperture segmentation. Future work will focus on further reducing the volume and refining SNR management.

The Electro-Optical Camera (EOC) is a high spatial resolution, visible imaging sensor which collects visible image data of the earth's sunlit surface and is the primary payload on KOMPSAT-l. The purpose of the EOC payload is to provide high resolution visible imagery data to support cartography of the Korean Peninsula. The EOC is a push broom-scanned sensor which incorporates a single nadir looking telescope. At the nominal altitude of 685Km with the spacecraft in a nadir pointing attitude, the EOC collects data with a ground sample distance of approximately 6.6 meters and a swath width of around 17Km. The EOC is designed to operate with a duty cycle of up to 2 minutes (contiguous) per orbit over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain/offset. The EOC has no pointing mechanism of its own. EOC pointing is accomplished by right and left rolling of the spacecraft, as needed. Under nominal operating conditions, the spacecraft can be rolled to an angle in the range from +/- 15 to 30 degrees to support the collection of stereo data. In this paper, the status of EOC such as temperature, dark calibration, cover operation and thermal control is checked and analyzed by continuously monitored state of health (SOH) data and image data during the mission life of 3 years. The aliveness of EOC and operation continuation beyond mission life is confirmed by the results of the analysis.

A high speed data link capability is one of the critical factors in determining the performance of the spaceborne SAR system with high resolution because of the strict requirement far the real-time data transmission of the massive SAR data in a limited time of mission. In this paper, based on the data lint model characterized by the spaceborne small SAR system, the high rate multi-channel data link module is designed including link storage, link processor, transmitter, and wide-angle antenna. The design results are presented with the performance analysis on the data link budget as well as the multi-mode data rate in association with the SAR imaging mode of operation from high resolution to the wide swath.

한국항공우주연구원에서는 심우주 탐사를 위한 핵심 기술 개발을 위해 6U급 초소형 위성인 HiREV(high resolution video and image)를 개발하였다. 6U HiREV 초소형 위성의 임무는 지구 관측을 위한 고해상도 영상 및 동영상 촬영이며, 임무 수행 시 고온의 카메라 모듈로 인해 렌즈와 모듈 간의 열 지향 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 열 지향 오차는 해상도에 큰 영향을 미치므로, 이를 해결하기 위해 열 설계가 필요하다. 또한 HiREV 광학 카메라는 지상에서 쓰이는 상용제품(COTS, Commercial Off The Shelf)을 이용하여 개발한 것이므로 상온에서 가장 좋은 성능을 가지며, 고온/저온 환경인 우주에서 활용되기 위해 별도의 열 설계가 적용되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 임무 카메라 탑재체를 위해 3가지의 수동 열 설계가 수행되었으며, 궤도열 해석을 통하여 열 설계가 효과적임을 확인하였다.

A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system is able to provide all-weather, day-and- night superior imaging capability of the earth surface, and thus is extremely useful in surveillance for both civil and military applications. In this paper, the X-band high resolution spaceborne SAR system design is demonstrated with the key design performance for a given mission and system requirements characterized by the small satellite system. The SAR multi-mode imaging technique is presented with a critical parameter assessment, and the standard mode results are analyzed in terms of the image quality performances. In line with the system requirement X-band SAR payload and ground reception/processing subsystems are designed and the major design results are presented with the key performance characteristics. This small satellite SAR system shows the wide range of imaging capability with high resolution, and proves to be an effective surveillance systems in the light weight, high performance and cost-effective points of view.

MSC is being developed to be installed on KOMPSAT(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-II and to provide high resolution multi-spectral. MSC consists of three main subsystems. One is EOS(Electro-Optics Subsystem), another is PMU(Payload Management Unit) and the other is PDTS(Payload Data Transmission Subsystem). There is an SBC(Single Board Computer) in the PMU to control all MSC subsystems. SBC incorporates Intel 80486 as a main processor and VxWorks as a real-time operating system. SBC software consists of four main tasks and several modules to deal with all control information for imaging and all the state of health telemetrv data, and to perform interface with another MSC units. SBC software also has to handle a lot of commands in order for MSC to perform his mission. One mission command consists of a series of related commands, which are In be executed in the designated sequence, with a specified time ...

For the Space-borne optical imaging payload system design, light weighting and moderate stiffness of mirror and/or mirror fixation device is very important aspects. The front surface of mirror is regulated by optical performance requirement, but the shape of backplate of mirror is to be optimised while satisfing the required stiffness and weight. According to the results, the best shape of backplate cell is triangular. And also related geometric dimensions and the optimised mounting point of MFD(Mirror Fixation Device) is presented. Finally, natural frequencies and shpaes of mirror structure are analysed.
