GPS based orbit determination system for the KOMPSAT-2 has been developed. Two types of orbit determination software such as operational orbit determination and precise orbit determination are designed and implemented. GPS navigation solutions from on-board the satellite are used for the operational orbit determination and raw measurements data such as C/A code pseudo-range and L1 carrier phase for the precise orbit determination. Operational concept, architectural design, software implementation, and performance test are described.

Operational orbit determination (OOD) depends on the capability of generating accurate prediction of spacecraft ephemeris in a short period. The predicted ephemeris is used in the operations such as instrument pointing and orbit maneuvers. In this study the orbit prediction problem consists of the estimating diverse arc length orbit using GPS navigation data, the predicted orbit for the next 48 hours, and the fitted 30-hour arc length orbits of double differenced GPS measurements for the predicted 48-hour period. For 24-hour orbit arc length, the predicted orbit difference from truth orbit was 205 meters due to the along-track error. The main error sources for the orbit prediction of the Low Earth Orbiter (LEO) satellite are solar pressure and atmosphere density.

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.

본 논문에서는 자동으로 GPS 원시데이터를 이용한 정밀궤도를 결정하는 시스템의 개발에 대해 기술하였다. 수 m 이상의 궤도결정 정밀도를 요구하는 일상적인 궤도데이터 처리 과정에 비해 1m ($1{\sigma}$) 혹은 서브미터 이하의 정밀한 궤도를 요구하는 궤도데이터 처리에는 보다 복잡한 처리과정을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 정밀궤도결정을 자동으로 처리하기 위한 시스템 구성 및 시험결과에 대해 기술하였다. 구현된 정밀궤도결정 자동화 시스템은 위성관제를 위한 비행역학시스템의 일부로써 활용할 수 있으며, 저자에 의해 기존에 개발된 궤도운용 자동처리 시스템과 연계하여 다중 위성 정밀궤도결정 시스템으로 응용이 가능하다.

Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-5 (KOMPSAT-5) is the first satellite in Korea that provides 1 m resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Precise orbit determination (POD) using a dual-frequency IGOR receiver data is performed to conduct high-resolution SAR images. We suggest orbit determination strategies based on a differential GPS technique. Double-differenced phase observations are sampled every 30 seconds. A dynamic model approach using an estimation of general empirical acceleration every 6 minutes through a batch least-squares estimator is applied. The orbit accuracy is validated using real data from GRACE and KOMPSAT-2 as well as simulated KOMPSAT-5 data. The POD results using GRACE satellite are adjusted through satellite laser ranging data and compared with publicly available reference orbit data. Operational orbit determination satisfies 5 m root sum square (RSS) in one sigma, and POD meets the orbit accuracy requirements of less than 20 cm and 0.003 cm/s RSS in position and velocity, respectively.

An operational orbit determination (OD) and prediction system for the geostationary Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) mission requires accurate satellite positioning knowledge to accomplish image navigation registration on the ground. Ranging and tracking data from a single ground station is used for COMS OD in normal operation. However, the orbital longitude of the COMS is so close to that of satellite tracking sites that geometric singularity affects observability. A method to solve the azimuth bias of a single station in singularity is to periodically apply an estimated azimuth bias using the ranging and tracking data of two stations. Velocity increments of a wheel off-loading maneuver which is performed twice a day are fixed by planned values without considering maneuver efficiency during OD. Using only single-station data with the correction of the azimuth bias, OD can achieve three-sigma position accuracy on the order of 1.5 km root-sum-square.

본 논문에서는 자동으로 궤도를 결정하고, 신뢰성을 판정한 후 임무계획, 위성추적, 위성위치 표시에 사용하도록 갱신하며, 안테나 추적을 위해 필요한 여러 가지 형태의 궤도데이터 파일을 생성하는 ‘자동 궤도운용 시스템 (KGS automated Operational Orbit Processing System, KOOPS)'의 개발 내용 및 실제 운용 결과를 기술하였다. 개발된 본 시스템은 다양한 형태의 궤도추적 데이터를 처리할 수 있으며, 각 위성 시스템에 따라 필요한 다양한 전처리 및 후처리 프로세스들을 각 위성 별로 개별적으로 설정할 수 있기 때문에 여러 기의 서로 다른 임무를 가진 “다중, 복합” 위성 궤도운용 시스템으로 적용이 가능하다. 아리랑 1호 및 아리랑 2호의 추적 및 임무계획을 위한 비행역학 시스템으로써 적용되어 운용한 결과, 임무운용의 효율성 및 안정성을 크게 높이고, 인력 소요를 대폭 줄이는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 시스템의 개발 과정과 실제 적용을 통해 얻은 경험은 향후 보다 효율적이고 자동화된 “통합지향형 범용” 비행역학 시스템 개발에 직접 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Since its launching on 21 December 1999, the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-I (KOMPSAT-I) has been successfully operated by the Mission Control Element (MCE), which was developed by the ETRI. Most of the major functions of the MCE have been successfully demonstrated and verified during the three years of the mission life of the satellite. This paper presents the operational performances of the various functions in MAPS. We show the performance and analysis of orbit determinations using ground-based tracking data and GPS navigation solutions. We present four instances of the orbit maneuvers that guided the spacecraft form injection orbit into the nominal on-orbit. We include the ground-based attitude determination using telemetry data and the attitude maneuvers for imaging mission. The event prediction, mission scheduling, and command planning functions in MAPS subsequently generate the spacecraft mission operations and command plan. The fuel accounting and the realtime ground track display also support the spacecraft mission operations.

GPS Navigation Solutions are used for operational orbit determination for the KOMPSAT-1 spacecraft. GPS point position data are definitely affected by systematic errors as well as noise. Indeed, the systematic error effects tend to be longer term since the GPS spacecrafts have periods of 12 hours. And then, the overlap method of determining orbit accuracy is always optimistic because of the presence of systematic errors with longer term effects. In this paper, we investigated the measurement noise and the system error for the KOMPSAT-l GPS Navigation Solutions. To assess orbit accuracy with this type of data, we use longer data arcs such as 5-7 days instead of 30 hour data arc. For this assessment, we should require much more attention to drag and solar radiation drag parameters or even general acceleration parameters in order to assess orbit accuracy with longer data arcs. Thus, the effects of the consideration of the drag, solar radiation drag, and general acceleration parameters were also investigated.
