The purpose of perigee kick motor firing is to place a satellite into transfer orbit and that of apogee kick motor firing is to place the satellite into geosynchonous orbit in order to increase the semi-major axis of the transfer orbit and reduce the inclination of the transfer orbit. Because apogee motor firing is always accompanied with injection errors, the satellite is not placed into geosynchonous orbit but into a near-geosynchonous orbit, also knows as a drift orbit. Thus, the orbital maneuver to correct drift orbit into gteosynchonous orbit is required, this maneuver is called the station acquisition. For reduction of expenditure and performance of mission, we estimate $\Delta$V budget and required fuel allowance for station acquisition. As the uncertainty of drift orbit by injection error of perigee and apogee kick motor firing prevents us from obtaining exact $\Delta$V budget, statistical Monte Carlo simulation technique is used in order to get optimal $\Delta$V budget and required fuel allowance with a probability of 99%. With respect to Korea satellite launched by Delta-2 launch vehicle in 1995, Monte Carlo analysis is used in order to get various orbital parameters, $\Delta$V budget and required fuel allowance for station acquisition with a probability of 99%.

This work deals with an explicit guidance and control architecture for autonomous lunar ascent and orbit injection, i.e., the locally-flat near-optimal guidance, accompanied by nonlinear reduced-attitude control. This is a new explicit guidance scheme, based on the local projection of the position and velocity variables, in conjunction with the real-time solution of the associated minimum-time problem. A recently-introduced quaternion-based reduced-attitude control algorithm, which enjoys quasi-global stability properties, is employed to drive the longitudinal axis of the ascent vehicle toward the desired direction. Actuation, based on thrust vectoring, is modeled as well. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations prove the effectiveness of the guidance, control, and actuation architecture proposed in this study for precise lunar orbit insertion, in the presence of nonnominal flight conditions.

The post-launch mission analysis of the KOMPSAT-1 spacecraft was carried out. The injection accuracy of the Taurus launch vehicle was analyzed by comparison of the target and the realized orbit parameters. The tracking station contact analysis was also performed based on the state vectors applied at the day of launch. The offset angles between the predicted orbit and realized orbit were calculated for various tracking stations. The injection orbit parameters of the KOMPSAT-1 were analyzed for the possible options in Launch and Early Orbit Phase(LEOP) operations. Variations of the Local Time of Ascending Node(LTAN) were also obtained.

In this work, preliminary launch opportunities from NARO Space Center to the Sun-Earth Lagrange point are analyzed. Among five different Sun-Earth Lagrange points, L1 and L2 points are selected as suitable candidates for, respectively, solar and astrophysics missions. With high fidelity dynamics models, the L1 and L2 point targeting problem is formulated regarding the location of NARO Space Center and relevant Target Interface Point (TIP) for each different launch date is derived including launch injection energy per unit mass (C3), Right ascension of the injection orbit Apoapsis Vector (RAV) and Declination of the injection orbit Apoapsis Vector (DAV). Potential launch periods to achieve L1 and L2 transfer trajectory are also investigated regarding coasting characteristics from NARO Space Center. The magnitude of the Lagrange Orbit Insertion (LOI) burn, as well as the Orbit Maintenance (OM) maneuver to maintain more than one year of mission orbit around the Lagrange points, is also derived as an example. Even the current work has been made under many assumptions as there are no specific mission goals currently defined yet, so results from the current work could be a good starting point to extend diversities of future Korean deep-space missions.

본 논문에서는 한국형발사체를 사용한 달 탐사 위성의 궤적 설계를 수행하였다. 발사체는 달탐사위성과 킥모터 스테이지를 지구 저궤도에 투입하고, 이후 킥모터 스테이지의 연소에 의해 직접전이궤도 또는 고타원궤도에 투입된다. 설계된 궤적에 대해 TLI 및 LOI 기동을 실제와 가깝게 finite burn으로 모델링하여 요구속도 및 필요한 추진제량을 계산하여, 한국형 발사체를 사용할 경우 발사 임무에 대한 가능성을 제시하였다.

발사체 경량화에 따른 한국형발사체 발사성능 해석을 위해 3 자유도 모델을 이용한 궤적계산 프로그램을 작성하였다. 이를 이용하여 단 별 구조비 감소에 따른 태양동기궤도 투입성능을 추정하였으며, 성능 지표는 투입 가능한 탑재체 무게를 기준으로 하였다. 구조비를 Angara 로켓과 유사한 수준까지 경량화 할 경우 목표 궤도에 2.58 ton을 투입할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

This paper presents an analysis of the trans-lunar trajectory insertion performance of the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), the first lunar exploration spacecraft of the Republic of Korea. The successful launch conducted on August 4, 2022 (UTC), utilized the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The trans-lunar trajectory insertion performance plays a crucial role in ensuring the overall mission success by directly influencing the spacecraft's onboard fuel consumption. Following separation from the launch vehicle (LV), a comprehensive analysis of the trajectory insertion performance was performed by the KPLO flight dynamics (FD) team. Both orbit parameter message (OPM) and orbit determination (OD) solutions were employed using deep space network (DSN) tracking measurements. As a result, the KPLO was accurately inserted into the ballistic lunar transfer (BLT) trajectory, satisfying all separation requirements at the target interface point (TIP), including launch injection energy per unit mass (C3), right ascension of the injection orbit apoapsis vector (RAV), and declination of the injection orbit apoapsis vector (DAV). The precise BLT trajectory insertion facilitated the smoother operation of the KPLO's remainder mission phase and enabled the utilization of reserved fuel, consequently significantly enhancing the possibilities of an extended mission.

본 논문에서는 발사체 상단의 유도 방식 선정을 위해서 Saturn 발사체의 주차 궤도 및 달 전이 궤도 투입에 성공적으로 사용된 IGM을 개선한 외연적 유도 알고리듬에 대해서 다루었다. 이 알고리듬을 주어진 발사체의 상단부인 2단 및 3단 구간에 적용할 경우에 대해서 유도 성능을 분석하였다. 3-자유도 모의시험을 통해 궤도 투입시점에서의 위치 및 속도 정밀도를 계산했으며, 개략적으로 투입지점을 계산함으로 해서 생기는 유도 알고리듬의 성능 저하를 보완하기 위한 방법을 제안하였다.

본 논문에서는 달착륙선이 국내 개발된 발사체 상단에 탑재되어 지구 저궤도에 투입되고, 이후 달 전이 궤도 투입 기동을 통해 달에 착륙할 경우에 대한 예비 임무 분석을 수행하였다. 각각의 장단점이 있는 직접 착륙 방식 및 간접 착륙 방식을 모두 적용해보았으며, 2030년 음력 10월에 발사할 경우 발사 일에 따른 전이 궤도 특성을 분석하였다. 여기에 미국의 달착륙선 Surveyor-1과 같이 일식 조건, 태양 고도각 조건 및 추적 가능 시간대를 만족시키는 발사 일을 분석해 보았다. 직접 착륙 방식의 경우는 음력 10월중 4일, 간접 착륙 방식의 경우는 3일에 발사할 경우 근지점 이각과 일식 조건에 있어서 가장 적합한 발사일로 분석되었다.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has jointly developed a bipropellant propulsion system for Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) with EADS Astrium in UK. The technology relevant to a bipropellant propulsion system is quite new one in Korea, which is transferred for the first time, with development of COMS propulsion system. It hasn't ever attempted before, and hasn't got any general idea itself as well, in Korea. The COMS Chemical Propulsion System (CPS) is designed to perform both the orbital injection function, to take the spacecraft from transfer orbit to Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), and all on-station propulsive functions throughout the lifetime of the satellite. All station keeping manoeuvres are performed using the CPS. The design, manufacture and testing of COMS CPS are addressed in this paper. Feasibility of COMS CPS applicable to the other advanced mission is investigated as well.
