Atmospheric drag force is an important source of perturbation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) orbit satellites, and solar activity is a major factor for changes in atmospheric density. In particular, the orbital lifetime of a satellite varies with changes in solar activity, so care must be taken in predicting the remaining orbital lifetime during preparation for post-mission disposal. In this paper, the System Tool Kit (STK$^{(R)}$) Long-term Orbit Propagator is used to analyze the changes in orbital lifetime predictions with respect to solar activity. In addition, the STK$^{(R)}$ Lifetime tool is used to analyze the change in orbital lifetime with respect to solar flux data generation, which is needed for the orbital lifetime calculation, and its control on the drag coefficient control. Analysis showed that the application of the most recent solar flux file within the Lifetime tool gives a predicted trend that is closest to the actual orbit. We also examine the effect of the drag coefficient, by performing a comparative analysis between varying and constant coefficients in terms of solar activity intensities.

MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) is a main payload of KOMPSAT(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite)-II which will be launched in 2004. MSC will perform his mission with the GSD(Ground Sample Distance) of 1m, swath width of 15km and spectral range of 450nm~900nm at the altitude of 685km. 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 PW to control all the other units and SBC software performs the interface with spacecraft and control all MSC sub-units. SBC software consists of a lot of tasks and manages them with the time criticalness. All tasks are designed to be scheduled and executed at the predetermined time in order to make sure that the mission of MSC system is achieved successfully. In this paper, the real-time task scheduling of the SBC software will be described and analyzed.

인공위성의 추진시스템은 위성이 발사체로부터 분리된 후 최종 궤도로 도달할 때까지 궤도를 이동하는데 필요한 추력을 제공한다. 또한 임무궤도에서는 궤도 유지와 자세제어를 위한 펄스 모멘트를 발생하는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 향후 인공위성 궤도전이 및 자세제어용 이원추진제 로켓엔진을 국내에서 개발시 관련 연구에 필요한 규격을 도출하기 위한 목적으로서 모노메틸하이드라진과 하이드라진을 연료로, 사산화이질소 산화제를 이용하는 인공위성용 이원추진제 로켓엔진에 대한 현재 개발동향 및 주요 성능 특성에 대해 조사하였다.

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.

나로우주센터에서 운용하는 추적레이더는 위성발사체 (KSLV-1)의 비행궤도를 추적하여 위성발사체의 위치정보를 발사통제센터로 전송하는 추적시스템이다. 추적레이더가 획득한 위성발사체의 실시간 위치정보는 발사임무의 정상적인 수행 및 비행안전통제를 위해 중요한 자료이므로 위치정보의 정확도가 절실히 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 추적레이더가 획득한 측정값의 정확성을 판단하는 하나의 기준이 되는 잡음에 의한 오차 규격을 이론적으로 분석하고, 실제 획득한 측정값들이 이론적인 잡음에 의한 오차 규격을 만족하는 지 검증하였다. 이 분석에서 사용된 측정값들은 나로우주센터에서 수차례 수행하였던 모의비행시험에서 얻은 결과물을 이용하여 검증하였다.

Acquiring precise coordinates of ground targets can be regarded as the key mission of the tactical-level military UAS(Unmanned Aerial System) operations. The coordinates deviations for the ground targets estimated from UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) images may depend on the sensor specifications and slant ranges between UAV and ground targets. It has an order of several tens to hundreds of meters for typical tactical UAV mission scenarios. In this paper, we propose a scheme that precisely acquires target coordinates from UAS by mapping image pixels to geographical coordinates based on GCP(Ground Control Points). This scheme was implemented and tested from ground control station for UAS. We took images of targets of which exact location is known and acquired the target coordinates using our proposed scheme. The experimental results showed that errors of the acquired coordinates remained within an order of several meters and the coordinates accuracy was significantly improved.

The mission of the TTC system is to acquire and process the telemetry data from the satellite and to provide mission planning and satellite control for the target stellite system. In this paper, the transmission scheme for the Tracking, Telemetry and Command(TTC) system of satelliteis described and determined according to the recommendation of CCSDS, and the channel characteristics are analyzed according to modulation method. Expecially, we introduced the concepts of carrier vs. telemetry data power ratio which causes the channel performance to degrade, and analyzed the effects of transmission performance according to the power ratio of carrier vs. telemetry data and the modulation index. The channel of the LEO TTC sytem is different with usual satellite communication system. So, we have generalized the link budget of TTC sytem for using the link budget of ground station well-known and proposed the determination method of modultion indices for improveing channel performance.

NORAD Two Line Element (TLE) is very useful to simplify the ground station antenna pointing and mission operations. When a satellite operations facility has the capability to determine NORAD type TLE which is independent of NORAD, it is important to analyze the applicable tracking data arcs for obtaining the best possible orbit. The applicable tracking data arcs for NORAD independent TLE orbit determination of the KOMPSAT-1 using GPS navigation solutions was analyzed for the best possible orbit determination and propagation results. Data spans of the GPS navigation solutions from 1 day to 5 days were used for TLE orbit determination and the results were used as Initial orbit for SGP4 orbit propagation. The operational orbit determination results using KOMPSAT-1 Mission Analysis and Planning System(MAPS) were used as references for the comparisons. The best-matched orbit determination was obtained when 3 days of GPS navigation solutions were used. The resulting 4 days of orbit propagation results were within 2 km of the KOMPSAI-1 MAPS results.

The number of satellite under operation is being on the increase, however, because the number of operator is limited the reliable control system is necessary for stable mission operation. Especially it is necessary that error event indication such as colour or sound should be displayed with high reliability for intuitional monitoring. The limit range of KOBAS2 provides realistic value that is defined with in-orbit value and related document. It makes it possible for operator to monitor a number of telemetry data easily through single screen system instead of monitoring each mnemonics. The development and operation experience of KOBAS2 will contribute to the development of the evolved automatic telemetry monitoring system for future mission.
