이제까지 수행된 우주 탐사 임무에서 임무 궤도의 설계는 행성 혹은 위성과 인공위성의 2체 문제 (two-body problem)에 기초한 Hohmann transfer를 기반으로 하는 Patched Conic Approximation 방식이 주로 사용되어져 왔다. Hohmann transfer는 원 궤도에서 다른 원 궤도로 천이할 수 있는 타원 천이 궤도의 설계 방식으로서, Patched Conic Approximation은 태양계를 여러 개의 2체 문제로 분해하고 각기 분해된 2체 시스템 사이의 Hohmann 천이 궤도를 설계하여 조합함으로써 행성 간의 임무 궤도를 설계하는 방식이다. 이 방식은 하나의 행성만을 고려했을 때, 즉 행성과 인공위성의 2체 문제일 때, 가장 효율적인 천이 방식으로 알려져 있고 현재까지의 우주 탐사 임무 설계에 주로 이용되고 있다. 하지만, 우주 탐사 임무가 점차 다양화되고 소형 위성을 이용한 임무 수행의 필요성이 증가함에 따라 기존의 Patched Conic Approximation은 요구되는 연료의 양이 크다는 점과 원뿔꼴(conic) 특성을 가지는 궤도만을 표현할 수 있다는 점에서 한계점을 보이기 시작하고 있다. 이에 반해 3체 동역학의 기하학적 특성은 기존의 태양계의 패러다임을 획기적으로 변화시킨다. 개념적으로는 요구되는 에너지가 매우 적은 에너지로 태양계를 모두 연결하는 궤도를 구성할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는2체문제 기반의 임무 궤도 설계 기술의 한계성에서 벗어나 유연하고 효율적인 탐사 임무를 설계한다.

In recent years, many candidates for extra-solar planet have been discovered from various measurement techniques. Fueled by such discoveries, new space missions for direct detection of earth-like planets have been proposed and actively studied. TPF instrument is a fair example of such scientific endeavors. One of the many technical problems that space missions such as TPF would need to solve is deconvolution of the collapsed (i.e. spatially and temporally) spectral signal arriving at the detector surface and the deconvolution computation may fall into a local minimum solution, instead of the global minimum solution, in the optimization process, yielding mis-interpretation of the spectral signal from the potential earth-like planets. To this extend, observational and theoretical understanding on the spectral bio-signal from the Earth serves as the key reference datum for the accurate interpretation of the planetary bio-signatures from other star systems. In this study, we present ray tracing computational model for the on-going simulation study on the Earth bio-signatures. A multi-layered atmospheric model and sea ice variation model were added to the existing target Earth model and a hypothetical space instrument (called AmonRa) observed the spectral bio-signals of the model Earth from the L1 halo orbit. The resulting spectrums of the Earth show well known "red-edge" spectrums as well as key molecular absorption lines important to harbor life forms. The model details, computational process and the resulting bio-signatures are presented together with implications to the future study direction.

We present molecular line observations of a small group of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs), L1251C. Observations by Spitzer Space Telescope legacy program "From Molecular Cores to Planet Forming Disks"(c2d; Evans et al. 2003) revealed that there are three YSOs within ~15" in L1251C: IRS1 (Class I), IRS2 (Class II), and IRS3 (Class II). In order to understand the molecular environment around these YSOs, we carried out the KVN single-dish observations in $HCO^+$ J=1-0, $H^{13}CO^+$ J=1-0, $N_2H^+$ J=1-0 and HCN J=1-0. CO J=1-0 was also mapped in L1251C with the TRAO 14m telescope. Integrated intensity maps of high density tracers such as $H^{13}CO^+$ J=1-0, $N_2H^+$ J=1-0 and HCN J=1-0 show similar emission distributions, whose peaks are off from the positions of YSOs. However, $HCO^+$ J=1-0, which is believed to trace both infall and outflow, presents its emission distribution different from those of other molecular transitions. The line profile of $HCO^+$ J=1-0 is superimposed by two velocity (narrow and broad) components. The $HCO^+$ outflow map reveals multiple structures while the CO outflow map elongates mainly along the EW direction. With the KVN single dish, the 22 GHz $H_2O$ maser emission has been also monitored toward L1251C to find variations of the systemic velocity and intensity with time.

Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) population has attracted keen attention not only from the scientific community but from the general public ever since their terrestrial impact risk achieved wide recognition. Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs), the subset of NEAs, recently became the center of interest of planetary defense folks and mining industry due to their proximity to, and the potential effects on planet Earth. However, we have long been ignorant about either the physical properties or dynamical source regions of individual objects. For instance, their rotational periods are only known for five percent of the total population (The NEA Database of DLR, updated on Feb 2016). The primary scientific objective of DEEP-South (DEep Ecliptic Patrol of the Southern sky) is to physically characterize 70 percent of km-class PHAs until 2019. In order to achieve this goal, we implemented an observation mode so-called "OC (Opposition Census)" targeting objects around opposition. OC observations were conducted during the period between Feb 2015 and Mar 2016, at CTIO in early periods, and at three KMTNet stations (CTIO, SSO and SAAO) since late July 2015, excluding the "bulge season" when the telescope time is exclusively used for exoplanet search. We present the preliminary lightcurves of 66 PHAs and 59 NEAs that we obtained during the OC runs.

Currently, the environmental issue is of great urgency and sensitivity to the future of our planet. Global warming caused by increased CO2 concentration has an alarming impact on the earth's fragile environment. Droughts throughout the world are causing crop failures. Wildfires now burn with far greater rage. Melting ice caps and glaciers are causing floods. Sea levels are rising. Warm unseasonable winters are threatening our fragile eco-systems. Global warming is no longer a theory; it is an obvious fact we are confronted with every day, and the only way we can prevent it is to take action now. The need to reduce CO2 emissions and try to become carbon neutral is of national importance and leadership. We have become so reliant on fossil fuels that nearly everything we do generates CO2 emissions; from our modern farming practices to transport, to the electricity used to turn on a light, boil water in a kettle or cook our meals. A reduction of 50% of CO2 emissions can easily be achieved by decreasing the energy amount used. We tracked the carbon footprint throughout the electricity and heating energy use in homes and confirmed the amount of carbon emissions according to its consumptions. In order to reduce the carbon generation from housing constructions, such as Passive House concept of buildings or low energy buildings, we must adjust its applications best fit to our conditions. And technical elements should be applied to improve our conditions, and the methodology should be actively sought. Most of all, each individual's recongnition who uses these elements is more important than any other solutions.

Tropical forests play a key role for functioning of the planet and maintenance of life. These forests support more than half of the world's species, serve as regulators of global and regional climate, act as carbon sinks and provide valuable ecosystem services. Forest floor biomass and litterfall dynamics was measured in different sites influenced by fire in a seasonally dry tropical forest of Bhoramdeo wildlife sanctuary of Chhattisgarh, India. The forest floor biomass was collected randomly placed quadrats while the litterfall measured by placing stone-block lined denuded quadrat technique. The seasonal mean total forest floor biomass across the fire regimes varied from $2.00-3.65t\;ha^{-1}$. The total litterfall of the study sites varied from $4.75-7.56t\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$. Annual turnover of litter varied from 70-74% and the turnover time between 1.35-1.43 years. Monthly pattern of forest floor biomass indicated that partially decayed litter, wood litter and total forest floor were differed significantly. The seasonal variation showed that leaf fall differed significantly in winter season only among the fire regimes while the wood litter was found non significant in all the season. This study shows that significant variation among the site due to the forest fire. Decomposition is one of the ecological processes critical to the functioning of forest ecosystems. The decomposing wood serves as a saving account of nutrients and organic materials in the forest floor. Across the site, high fire zone was facing much of the deleterious effects on forest floor biomass and litter production. Control on such type of wildfire and anthropogenic ignition could allow the natural recovery processes to enhance biological diversity. Chronic disturbances do not provide time for ecosystem recovery; it needs to be reduced for ecosystem health and maintaining of the high floral and faunal biodiversity.

Cave on the Moon is considered as the most appropriate place for human to live during the frontier lunar exploration. While the lava flows, the outer crust gets cooled and solidified. Then, the empty space is remained inside after lava flow stops. Such empty space is called the lava caves. Those lava tubes on the Earth are formed mostly by volcanic activity. However, the lava tubes on satellite like Moon and planet like Mars without volcanic activity are mostly formed by the lava flow inside of the crater made by large meteorite impact. Some part of lava tube with collapsed ceiling appears as the entrance of the cave. Such area looks like a deep crater so called a pit crater. Four large pit craters with diameter of > 60 m and depth of > 40 m are found without difficulty from Kaguya and LRO mission image archives. However, those are too deep to use as easily accessible human frontier base. Therefore, now we are going to identify some smaller lunar caves with accessible entrances using LRO camera images of 0.5 m/pixel resolution. Earth's lava caves and their entrances are well photographed by surface and aerial camera in immense volume. Thus, if the image data are sorted and archived well, those images can be used in comparison with the less distinct lunar cave and entrance images due to its smaller size. Then, we can identify the regions on the Moon where there exist caves with accessible entrances. The database will be also useful in modeling geomorphology for lunar and Martian caves for future artificial intelligence investigation of the caves in any size.

When man first walked on this planet, injury must have been a close encounter of the first kind. The outbreak of World War I, during a period of rapid scientific growth in the basic sciences, demonstrated the need to develop better methods of care for the wounded, methods that were later applicable to the civilian population. Trauma is a multisystem disease and, as such, benefits from almost any advance in medical science. As we learn more about the physiology and the biochemistry of various organ systems, we can provide better management for trauma victims. Improved imaging techniques, better appreciation of physiologic tolerance, and increased understanding of the side effects of specific surgical procedures have combined to reduce operative intervention as a component of trauma patient care. On the other hand, because of this rapid development of medical science, only a few doctors still have the ability to treat multisystem injuries because almost doctor has his or her specialty, which means a doctor tends to see only patients with diagnoses in the doctor's specialty. Trauma Surgeons are physicians who have completed the typical general surgery residency and who usually continue with a one to two year fellowship leading to additional board certification in Surgical Critical Care. It is important to note that trauma surgeons do not need to do all kinds of operations, such as neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery. Trauma surgeons are not only a surgeon but also general medical practitioners who are very good at critical care and coordination of patient. In order to achieve the best patient outcomes, trauma surgeons should be involved in prehospital Emergency Medical Services, the Trauma Resuscitation Room, the Operating Room, the Surgical Intensive Care and Trauma Unit, the Trauma Ward, the Rehabilitation Department, and the Trauma Outpatient Clinic. In conclusion, according to worldwide experience and research, the trauma surgeon is the key factor in the trauma care system, so the trauma surgeon should receive strong support to accomplish his or her role successfully.

기상이변으로 인한 사회 경제적 피해의 증가로 기상정보에 대한 중요성이 커지면서 해외에서는 민간 기업이 기상 관측망을 구축하는 사례가 나타났다. 미국의 Earth Network은 전 세계에 1만개의 기상 관측센서를 설치하였고, 일본의 통신회사인 NTT DoCoMo는 일본에 4000여 개의 기상 및 환경관측 센서를 구축하였다. 국내에서는 SK플래닛이 자사의 플랫폼 기술과 SK텔레콤의 기지국 인프라를 활용하여 수도권 지역에 국지기상 관측망을 구축하였다. SK플래닛은 2013년 서울지역에 1km 간격으로 264개의 기상센서를 설치하고, 2014년 인천 경기지역에 3km 간격으로 825개의 기상센서를 추가 설치하여, 현재 1089개의 국지기상 관측망을 운용하고 있다. 관측에 사용한 센서는 우량계와 복합 기상센서로 강수량, 기온, 습도, 바람, 기압을 측정한다. 관측된 자료는 데이터로거에서 기상청의 자료처리 표준규격에 따라 처리한 후 M2M 모뎀을 통해 1분마다 서버로 전송한다. 전송된 자료는 기상정보 플랫폼의 수집 서버에서 프로토콜 변환 후 원본자료 DB에 저장하고, 실시간 품질관리를 마친 후 품질관리 자료 DB에 저장한다. 관측 지점의 기본정보 및 작업이력은 메타데이터 DB에 저장되고 관리자 페이지를 통해 조회 및 수정 된다. 관측 자료의 품질 보증은 제조사의 센서 Calibration부터 서비스 모니터링 까지 각 단계별로 체계적인 품질관리를 통해 이루어진다. 품질관리를 마친 국지기상 관측 데이터는 응용프로그램 개발자가 편리하게 사용할 수 있는 API(Application Programming Interface)형태로 제공된다. 2013년 여름부터 수집된 1~3km 해상도의 SK플래닛 국지기상 관측 자료를 통해 그 동안 정량적으로 확인하지 못한 국지성 호우 시의 강수량 편차에 대해 알 수 있었다. 2014년 7월 31일 양평지역에 내린 국지성 호우는 시간당 최대 90mm 이상의 비가 내린 사례로, 귀여리 관측소(SK 플래닛)에 시간당 93.1mm가 내리는 동안 퇴촌 관측소(기상청)에는 17.5mm의 비가 내려, 두 관측지점 간 거리가 3.4km 임에도 불구하고 시간당 75mm 이상의 강수량 차이를 보였다. 앞으로 SK플래닛의 국지기상 관측 자료가 국지성 호우의 조기 경보 및 예측 정확도 향상에 활용되어 재난으로부터 국민의 생명과 재산을 지키는데 많은 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
