This study presents the orbit determination (OD) of a candidate Korea Regional Navigation Satellite System (KRNSS) using both inter-satellite links (ISLs) and ground observations. The candidate constellation of KRNSS is first introduced. The OD algorithm based on both ISL and ground observation is developed, and consists of three main components: dynamic model for Korean navigation satellites, measurement model for ISLs and ground observations, and the batch least-square filter for estimating OD parameters. As numerical simulations are performed to analyze the OD performances, the present study focuses on investigating the effects of ISL measurements on the OD accuracy of KRNSS. Simulation results show that the use of ISLs can considerably enhance the OD accuracy to one meter (design preference) under certain distributions of ground stations.

We discuss the effect of stray light on a high-precision camera in an LEO(Low Earth Orbit) satellite. The critical objects and illumination objects were sorted to discover the stray light sources in the optical system. Scatter modeling was applied to determine a noise effect on the surface of a detector, and the relative flux of a signal and noise were also calculated. The stable range of reflectivity of the beam splitter was estimated for various scattering models.

Recently, there have been the World Economic Forum's space economy guidelines, the International Telecommunication Union's regulations for each satellite orbit, the development of chips using satellite communication by global manufacturers and service providers, and the registration of key telecommunication businesses. Accordingly, trends in low-orbit 5G satellite communication services in Korea were investigated and analyzed, and the current situation in Korea was diagnosed. Korea's satellite communications accounts for 0.31% of all satellites when analyzed centering on countries with 20 or more satellites. Korea's communication satellite holdings are insufficient compared to 187 times that of the United States, 45 times that of Russia, and 18 times that of China. There is no link technology between 5G and LEO, and the cost of launch vehicles is high. In addition, it is judged that the ecosystem of equipment companies in the low-orbit 5G-NTN business model is insufficient.

The recent explosion in the number of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites launched to space allows to easily anticipate that the number of satellites in orbit will sustain a dramatic increase. As satellite components are integrated and unified with terrestrial cellular networks, they will play a key role in providing coverage and resilience for future cellular networks. We provide a brief overview of typical scenarios and network architectures for cellular-based LEO satellite communication systems. In addition, we outline 3GPP standardization trends in non-terrestrial networks and satellite access based on 5G/5G Advanced systems and analyze future evolution prospects of cellular-based satellite communication systems.

The dynamics for a two-body problem including perturbations due to nonspherical gravitation of the earth, gravitation of the sun and moon, radiation of the sun is studied. Orbit determination was performed by SVD filter. The simulation result shows that the characteristics of the satellite orbit have east-west and south-north drift. Therefore, the periodic magnitude of the control time and value in the view of the periodicity of error can be provided, and this result can be basic data to a station keeping problem with an orbit determination result.

In 1995 the VSOP satellite, which is called MUSES-B in Japan, will be launched under the VLBI Space Observatory Programme(VSOP) promoted by ISAS(Institute of Space and Astronautical Science) of Japan. We are now developing the GPS Receiver(GPSR) and On-board Orbit Determination System. This paper describes the GPS(Global Positioning System), VSOP, GPSR(GPS Receiver system) configuration and the results of the GPS system analysis. The GPSR consists of three GPS antennas and 5 channel receiver package. In the receiver package, there are two 16 bits microprocessing units. The power consumption is 25 Watts in average and the weight is 8.5 kg. Three GPS antennas on board enable GPSR to receive GPS signals from any NAVSTARs(GPS satellites) which are visible. NAVSATR's visibility is described as follows. The VSOP satellite flies from 1, 000 km to 20, 000 km in height on the elliptical orbit around the earth. On the other hand, the orbit of NAVSTARs are nearly circular and about 20, 000 km in height. GPSR can't receive the GPS signals near the apogee, because NAVSTARs transmit the GPS signals through the NAVSTAR's narrow beam antennas directed toward the earth. However near the perigee, GPSR can receive from 12 to 15 GPS signals. More than 4 GPS signals can be received for 40 minutes, which are related to GDOP(Geometric Dillusion Of Precision of selected NAVSTARs). Because there are a lot of visible NAVSTARs, GDOP is small near the perigee. This is a favorqble condition for GPSR. Orbit determination system onboard VSOP satellite consists of a Kalman filter and a precise orbit propagator. Near the perigee, the Kalman filter can eliminate the orbit propagation error using the observed data by GPSR. Except a perigee, precise onboard orbit propagator propagates the orbit, taking into account accelerations such as gravities of the earth, the sun, the moon, and other acceleration caused by the solar pressure. But there remain some amount of calculation and integration errors. When VSOP satellite returns to the perigee, the Kalman filter eliminates the error of the orbit determined by the propagator. After the error is eliminated, VSOP satellite flies out towards an apogee again. The analysis of the orbit determination is performed by the covariance analysis method. Number of the states of the onboard filter is 8. As for a true model, we assume that it is based on the actual error dynamics that include the Selective Availability of GPS called 'SA', having 17 states. Analytical results for position and velocity are tabulated and illustrated, in the sequel. These show that the position and the velocity error are about 40 m and 0.008 m/sec at the perigee, and are about 110 m and 0.012 m/sec at the apogee, respectively.

고정밀 태양센서는 인공위성의 자세제어에 중요 센서로서, 위성으로 입사되는 태양 빛의 방향을 측정하거나 위성이 태양을 보지 못하는 상태에 있는지를 판단하기 위해서 사용되고 있다. 또한 정지궤도 위성에서는 전이궤도 및 임무궤도 상에서 기준 자세로 부터 벗어난 자세오차 정보를 획득하기 위해서 또는 이상 발생 시 태양벡터를 획득하기 위해서 고정밀 태양센서를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성과 정지궤도 위성용 고정밀 태양센서의 형상에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 태양의 입사각에 대한 출력 전류 관계를 나타내는 전달 함수를 이용하여 고정밀 태양센서 운용 원리를 설명한다.

위성 운용 중 발생할 수 있는 오류에 대한 대비를 고장 관리 설계라고 한다. 고장 관리 설계는 위성에 이상 현상이 나타나는 경우 감지하고 고립시키며, 지상에서 위성과 접속한 이후 오류 사항을 파악하고 대응책을 마련할 때까지 위성을 안전한 상태로 유지하는 기능을 포함한다. 안전 모드 운용은 정상 운용과는 다르게 비행 소프트웨어를 탑재한 탑재 컴퓨터와 전력 제어 및 분배 장치 주관 하에 지상국의 접속 없이 이루어진다. 오류 발생 시 고장 관리 설계에 따라 자동화된 동작이 이루어지는 만큼 지상 시험 단계에서 고장 관리 로직 및 관련 하드웨어가 설계된 대로 동작하는지를 철저하게 검증해야 한다. 또한 실제와 유사한 오류를 위성에 손상 없이 인가해야 한다. 고장 관리 설계 검증시험은 위성을 구성하는 다양한 부분체에 대해서 수행되나 본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성의 비행 모델을 대상으로 수행된 자세제어계와 전력계 시험의 설계에 대해 서술하고 결과에 대해 정리하였다.

이 논문에서는 선형 푸시브룸 방식으로 촬영한 위성영상에 대한 다양한 센서모델들의 정확도를 비교분석하고자 한다. 특히 이 논문에서는 센서모델의 정확도를 번들조정의 정확도와 외부표정요소추정의 정확도로 분리하여 고찰하려고 한다. 번들조정 정확도는 수립된 센서모델이 얼마나 기준점에 잘 부합하는 가를 알려주는 척도로 이제까지 대부분의 센서모델 정확도 분석에 사용되어온 기준이다. 이에 반하여 외부표정요소추정의 정확도는 센서모델이 얼마나 정확하게 촬영당시의 위성의 궤도 및 자세를 예측할 수 있는 지의 척도로서 매우 중요한 요소임에도 불구하고 기존의 연구에서 간과해온 부분이다. 이 논문에서는 여러 센서모델 중에서 사진측량분야에서 주로 사용하는 변형된 공선방정식기반 모델과 위성지상국 또는 자세제어분야에서 주로 사용하는 궤도좌표계 및 자세각에 기반한 모델의 정확도를 비교분석하고자 한다. 실험은 다목적실용위성 1호 EOC 영상과 GPS 수신기에서 취득한 기준점을 사용하였다. 실험결과 번들조정 정확도는 두 모델이 큰 차이를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났으나 외부표정요소추정 정확도는 궤도좌표계 및 자세각에 기반한 모델이 더 나은 성능을 보였다.

On the satellite communication system, conventional key issues of control have been focused on the attitude and orbit control, monitoring and control of communication payload such as IOT(In-Orbit-Test) and CSM(Communication System Monitoring) and so on. As the vulnerabilities are being increased on the satellite communication network, security services are required to protect it against security violated attacks. In this paper, a security architecture for satellite communication network is presented in order to provide security services and mechanisms. Authentication protocol and encryption scheme are also proposed for spacecraft command authentication and confidentiality.
