  • A Magneto Plasma Sail(MPS) produces propulsive force by the interaction between the solar wind and an artificial magnetic field inflated by injecting plasma. Using a 2D hybrid PIC code, we evaluate the inflation of magnetic field when Argon(Ar) plasma with different ${\beta}_{in}$ including the value less than one is injected into the dipolar magnetic field generated by a superconducting coil. It is found that the magnetic field can be inflated by injecting plasma within an angle of $30^{\circ}$ in the polar direction and the magnetic field decays in the polar direction according to $B{\propto}r^{-2.4}$ after the plasma(${\beta}_{in}$=0.1) is injected.

  • 본 논문에서는 게임프로그래밍을 위한 마이크로디그리 교육과정을 제안하였다. 마이크로디그리는 특정 분야에서 특정 기술이나 지식을 제공하기 위해 설계된 단기과정의 집중 교육프로그램이다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로디그리 교육과정 운영 사례로 나노디그리로 유명한 온라인교육플랫폼 회사인 Udacity와 해외 대학 중 온라인/오프라인 학위과정뿐만 아니라 Certificate 과정을 체계적으로 운영하고 있는 Full Sail University, 국내 대학 중 소프트웨어 관련 마이크로디그리를 운영하는 경희대학교의 교육과정을 분석하였다. 분석결과 Udacity는 데이터분석, 프로그래밍, 인공지능, 클라우드컴퓨팅 등을 중심으로 교육과정이 운영되고 있다. Full Sail 대학의 게임관련 Certificate 교육과정으로는 Game Business & Esports이 운영되고 있고, 게임프로그래밍을 위한 단기교육과정이 없음을 확인하였다. 경희대학 마이크로디그리 교육과정 중 게임과련 교육과정은 "게임공학마이크로디그리" 교육과정 있다. 이 교육과정은 게임프로그래밍과 관련한 마이크로디그리 교육과정이지만 수강생들의 수준을 고려하지 않은 측면이 있어 비전공자나 초보자가 이수하기에는 한계가 있다고 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 사례 분석을 통해 게임프로그래밍을 위한 마이크로디그리 교육과정을 설계 제안하였다.

  • This paper discusses the attitude determination of the CNUSAIL-1 cube-satellite. The primary mission of the CNUSAIL-1 is sail deployment and operation in low Earth orbit, and the secondary mission is to look into influence of the sail deployment on satellite attitude and orbit. The attitude determination strategy is proposed depending on three mission phases, and its performance and applicability are verified through numerical simulations. This study considers the following sensors: Sun sensors and a three-axis magnetometer as attitude reference sensors, and a three-axis MEMS gyroscope as an inertial attitude sensor. Because sensors used for cube satellites have relatively low performances and worse noise characteristics, an Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to attitude determination. Additionally, it has the merits to deal with the Gaussian noises and to predict the attitude even with no measurements from reference attitude sensors, especially in the eclipse of the cube satellite. The performance of the EKF is compared to a deterministic attitude determination technique, QUEST(QUaternion ESTimation).

  • To establish a vessel safety management system for improving the safety of vessel's traffic and preventing vessel's traffic accidents, the state of marine traffic in the Busan South Port was investigated and analyzed as preliminary survey of the countermeasures. As a result of the study, there are 1,158 vessels in a day, 48 vessels in an hour, and the maximum traffic is about 118 vessels between 16:00 and 17:00 hours everyday, which requires to establish and operate a traffic control system necessarily for ensuring vessel's traffic safety. Furthermore, passages of tanker, passenger ship, cargo vessel and government vessel showed to sail along main traffic lane to be obtained enough sea depth at the survey area. However, passages of fishing vessel and launch showed to sail freely at all survey area owing to outstanding maneuverability and a shallow draft. Some vessels of launch sailed along main traffic lane, but other vessels crossed to sail it. The passages to cross main traffic lane is higher the risk of collision. Therefore, safety measures are urgently needed for the operation of the Busan South Port management system and the prevention of marine pollution.

  • Displaced non-Keplerian orbit, center of mass is displaced from orbit plane, enables special spacecraft missions. It requires continuous thrust to maintain the orbit, and solar sail is useful for this purpose. Equations for feasible region and stability analysis are derived for non-Keplerian orbit for general continuous thrust. Differences for solar sail spacecraft are discussed. Non-keplerian orbits are classified into four types. Location-specific required accelerations for orbit maintenance are calculated. Orbit stabilities of each orbit type are analyzed and verified by numerical simulations. In order to control non-Keplerian orbit in unstable region, a control algorithm using the real-time LQR control is developed and evaluated by numerical simulations.

  • Characteristics of restoring force for the wind-powered leisure boat was investigated using mathematical formulation and commercial computational method such as the ANSYS Workbench CFX-Mesh. The objective is to find the restoring moment and heel moment while boat is sailing in windy power. Conditions for angle of attack were given from $5^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. It is known that side force is larger in terms of angle of attack is higher, however critical angle is suggested to limit before over of $60^{\circ}$ for safe navigation for boat in wind. Natural results are found that stronger heel moment is observed when sail is used than no sail, and higher angle of attack is induced stronger heel moment.

  • History will be defined as a science on human beings in both space and time(des hommes dans le temps et l'espace). Navigational History is a premise to compose Maritime History. Maritime History is a branch of General History which is classified on the basis of space and will be definded as a branch of history to examine 'inter-realtions between maritime affairs and inland affairs'. Then, what kind of 'go by sea'can be a subject of Navigational History ? A research-subject of Navigational History must be navigation rather than sail or voyage. Because while 'sail' means to 'passive and noncommercial sailing' and voyage means to journeyin a general sense that includes sail and navigation, navigation means to indicate ' to go from one place to another in a ship' adn 'to convoy goods by water'. Then, how can we define Navigation History? Navigational History in a narrow sense is to be a field of studying 'process of development of nautical science and seamanship on the side of History ofScience and Techique, whereas Navigational History in a broad sense is to be a field of analyzing 'effects of historical navigation upon history on the side of General History. On studying Navigational History in a narrow sense, there are signifiacances of disclosing what the development of nautical instruments and arts of navigation have played a role in history. Navigational History in a broad sense is a branch of General History to study effects of historical navigation upon history. In conclusion, the significance of studying Navigation History is to disclose process of developmentof arts of navigation, and on the basis of this study is to reveal how the human elements operate in historical navigation. In short, it should not cease to study Navigational History in a narrow sense, and should enlarge its perspective of research toward Navigational History in a broad sense.

  • The importance of the vertical response of a structure was well recognized after the Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake of Japan. However, most of the seismic design codes does not specified the site sail profiles, and the sail and foundations conditions were mostly neglected in the vertical seismic analyses of a structure. In this paper, the effects of foundation size, sail layer depth under the foundation, foundation embedment and pile foundation on the vertical seismic response spectra for both surface and embedded mat foundation were studied to investigate the effects of the soft soil layer on the vertical response of a structure excited with the vertical components of Taft and El Centro earthquakes, considering the sail profile types of $S_A,S_C,S_E$ in UBC-97, the medium and large size foundations, the soil layer depth under the foundation of 30 and 60m, the foundation embedment of 0 and 15m, and the precast reinforced concrete bearing piles installed in the soft soil deposit. According to the study results, the foundation size has a little effect on the vertical seismic response, However, the soil layer depth under the foundation of 60m has to be considered for the vertical seismic analysis of a structure as for the horizontal one. The embedded pile foundations as well as the surface ones built on the soft soil layer amplified the vertical seismic response of a structure very much.
