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.

GPS has been increasingly exploited to provide positioning and navigation solutions for a variety of applications. In vessel berthing application, however, there are stringent requirements in terms of positioning accuracy, availability and integrity that cannot be satisfied by GPS alone. This is because the performance of satellite-based positioning and navigation systems are heavily dependent on both the number and the geometric distribution of satellite tracked by receivers. Due to the limited number of GPS satellites, a sufficient number of ‘visible’ satellites cannot be sometimes guaranteed. This paper discusses some issues associated with the implementation of ground-based pseudolite augmentation for vessel berthing. Pseudolite means small transmitter that transmits GPS-like signals in local area. Actually, pseudolite can play three different roles in GPS augmentation scheme, depending on the operational conditions. Firstly, in the case of kinematic GPS operation where there are no signal blockages, and more than five satellites are available, additional pseudolites strengthen the GPS satellite-pseudolite geometry, and more accurate and reliable positioning solution can be achieved. Secondly, in the case when there are adverse GPS operational environments in which the number of tracked satellites is less than four, pseudolites can complement the GPS signals. In the third case, GPS signals are completely unavailable, such as when operated indoor. In such cases the pseudolites can replace the satellite constellation. However, the first role will be considered in this paper, since more than four satellite signals can usually be tracked in most marine applications. This paper presents that the pseudolite-augmented precise positioning system can provides continuous centimeter-level positioning accuracy through comparison analysis of RDOP simulation result of the GPS satellite constellation and the pseudolite-augmented GPS satellite constellation.

본 논문에서는 소형 인공위성에 탑재 가능한 GPS/INS 항법 컴퓨터의 구조를 제안한다. GPS/INS 항법 시스템을 소형 인공위성에 적용하기 위해서는 우선 우주의 방사능, 미세 중력, 진공 상태 등의 극한 환경을 고려해야 한다. 또한 소형 인공위성에서 GPS/INS 항법 시스템의 궁극적인 목표는 소형 인공위성의 편대 비행이므로 실시간 처리 능력이 필요하다. 제작된 항법 보드에는 우주환경에 대한 헤리티지가 있는 PowerPC계열의 MPC860T와 KAUSAT-2의 환경시험에서 우주환경에 대한 검증을 마친 ATmega128을 사용하였다. 항법 알고리즘은 MPC860T에 포팅된 VxWorks 환경에서 동작하도록 구현하였다.

This study developed an approach for improving Carrier-phase Differential Global Positioning System (CDGPS) based realtime satellite relative navigation by applying laser baseline measurement data. The robustness against the space operational environment was considered, and a Synthetic Wavelength Interferometer (SWI) algorithm based on a femtosecond laser measurement model was developed. The phase differences between two laser wavelengths were combined to measure precise distance. Generated laser data were used to improve estimation accuracy for the float ambiguity of CDGPS data. Relative navigation simulations in real-time were performed using the extended Kalman filter algorithm. The GPS and laser-combined relative navigation accuracy was compared with GPS-only relative navigation solutions to determine the impact of laser data on relative navigation. In numerical simulations, the success rate of integer ambiguity resolution increased when laser data was added to GPS data. The relative navigational errors also improved five-fold and two-fold, relative to the GPS-only error, for 250 m and 5 km initial relative distances, respectively. The methodology developed in this study is suitable for application to future satellite formation-flying missions.

The necessity for the precise time synchronization of measurement data from multiple sensors is widely recognized in the field of global positioning system/inertial navigation system (GPS/INS) integration. Having precise time synchronization is critical for achieving high data fusion performance. The limitations and advantages of various time synchronization scenarios and existing solutions are investigated in this paper. A criterion for evaluating synchronization accuracy requirements is derived on the basis of a comparison of the Kalman filter innovation series and the platform dynamics. An innovative time synchronization solution using a counter and two latching registers is proposed. The proposed solution has been implemented with off-the-shelf components and tested. The resolution and accuracy analysis shows that the proposed solution can achieve a time synchronization accuracy of 0.1 ms if INS can provide a hard-wired timing signal. A synchronization accuracy of 2 ms was achieved when the test system was used to synchronize a low-grade micro-electromechanical inertial measurement unit (IMU), which has only an RS-232 data output interface.

현재 범세계위치결정체계(GPS)와 추측항법(DR), 기타 장치를 결합한 육상차량항법시스템이 사용되고 있다. 그리고 GPS는 육상항법시스템으로 널리 이용되고 있지만, 도심지 등에서 가시위성의 부족으로 차량의 동적 위치결정에 적절하지 못하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GPS의 단점을 보완하기 위해 GPS/GLONASS 결합항법시스템을 이용하여 차량의 동적위치를 결정하였다. 실험결과 도심지에서 많은 장애물과 가시위성에도 불구하고 GLONASS 위성의 부가로 높은 자료획득률을 보여 GPS/GLONASS의 결합항법시스템으로 차량의 동적 위치를 연속적으로 획득할 수 있었다. 그러므로 GPS/GLONASS 결합항법시스템은 도로의 교통흐름의 통제와 효율적 관리에 응용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

위성항법시스템 운용 시 주요 기능은 항법위성의 궤도를 정확히 결정하여 항법메시지로 전송하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 확장 칼만필터와 정밀동역학모델을 결합하여 항법위성의 궤도결정을 수행하는 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. IGS (international gnss service) 지상국의 실제 관측값을 사용하여 GPS (global positioning system)와 QZSS (quasi-zenith satellite system)의 궤도결정을 수행하고, IGS 정밀궤도력과 비교하여 항법시스템의 주요 성능지표인 URE (user range error)를 계산하였다. 항법위성에 탑재된 시계오차를 추정할 경우 radial 방향 궤도오차와 시계오차가 높은 역상관 관계를 가지는데 서로 상쇄되어 GPS와 QZSS의 궤도결정 URE 표준편차는 1.99 m, 3.47 m로 낮은 수준을 유지하였다. 항법위성 시계오차를 추정하는 대신 항법메시지의 시계오차를 모델링한 값으로 대체하여 궤도결정을 수행하였으며, URE와 지역적 상관관계 및 지상국 배치에 의한 영향을 분석하였다.

GPS(Global Positiong System)와 GLONASS(GLObal NAvigation Satellite System) 는 위치와 시각을 제공하는 기초 기술이며 항법 분야, 측지분야, 자세 측정 및 제어 분야 등 그 응용분야가 다양하다. 그러나 GPS나 GLONASS는 각기 제한된 가시 위성의 수로 인해 정확한 항법 해를 얻는데 어려움이 있으며, 또한 하나의 항법 시스템만을 이용하는 경우 의존도가 너무 높아지게 되어 전략적인 측면에서도 불리하다. 이러한 측면에서 GPS와 GLONASS 의 통합수신은 보다 정확한 항법 해를 구할 수 있고 보다 나은 시스템의 안정도를 가져올 수 있다. 이를 목적으로 GPS/GLONSS 통합 수신용 RF 전단부를 130$\times$80 mm$^2$의 PCB상에 구현하였고 실제 시스템에 적용 가능한지를 측정하였으며 GLONASS 수신기의 one chip화의 가능성을 검토하였다.

Recently, devices like Personal Privacy Devices (PPD) are being employed to avoid the detection of one's location by GPS, and most PPD transmits swept CW signals. However, signals transmitted from PPD may interfere a precise location system based on GPS. Accordingly, in order to reduce interferences by PPD, a technique to locate an interferer is needed. In order to locate an interferer AOA method and TDOA method are generally used, TDOA method is known to be more accurate than AOA method. Unfortunately, TDOA method has a problem of ambiguity in obtaining measurements of swept CW interference. Thus, this paper design a localization algorithm based on TDOA method that can accurately locate an interferer transmitting swept CW signals by resolving problem of ambiguity. In addition, feasibility of the designed algorithm has been verified by simulation results.

In this study, we implemented the data quality monitoring algorithm which is the previous step for real-time Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction generation and compared Global Positioning System (GPS) and BeiDou System (BDS). Signal Quality Monitoring (SQM), Data QM, and Measurement QM (MQM) that are well known in Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) were used for quality monitoring. SQM and Carrier Acceleration Ramp Step Test (CARST) of MQM result were divided by satellite elevation angle and analyzed. The data which are judged as abnormal are removed and presented as Root Mean Square (RMS), standard deviation, average, maximum, and minimum value.
