대형 위성들은 수십억 달러가 넘는 개발 비용이 사용되고, 우주환경에서 운영하기까지 수십 년이 걸릴 수도 있다. 이에 비해 소형 위성은 상용 소프트웨어, 센서 등을 활용해서 비용을 절감할 수 있으며 개발 기간을 2년 이내로 단축시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이렇게 많은 이점을 가지고 있는 소형위성의 국내외 개발현황을 살펴보고, 소형위성을 군에서 활용하기 위한 몇 가지 방안을 제안한다. 먼저, 해외 개발현황으로 미국, 일본의 소형위성 개발현황을 소개하고, 국내 소형위성 개발현황을 소개한다. 군사적 활용방안은 크게 교육, 연구, 작전 분야로 분류하여 제안한다. 최근 소형위성은 상업 분야에서 빠르게 발전하고 있으며 향후 군에서도 중요한 역할을 할 것이다. 따라서 향후 스타워즈를 준비하고 있는 군에게 소형위성은 반드시 필요한 자산이며, 연구개발을 통해 지속적으로 발전시켜 나가야 한다.

Satellite formation flying is the placing of multiple satellites into nearby orbits to form 'clusters' of satellites. These clusters of satellites usually work together to accomplish a mission. There are many benefits to using multiple satellite as opposed to one large satellites such as increasing productivity. reducing mission and launch cost. Hill's equations are useful to describe the relative motion of two satellites in formation flying, however. the disturbance forces acting on satellites is not considered in that equations. In this paper, a method for maintaining the relative distance between satellites is presented, which used mean orbital elements considering J2 perturbation. Control design process is also presented for minimizing total fuel consumption.

Since the operation of the first satellite-based navigation service, satellite positioning has played an increasing role in both surveying and geodesy, and has become an indispensable tool for precise relative positioning. However, in some situations, e.g. at a low angle of elevation, the use of satellites for navigation is seriously restricted because obstacles like buildings and mountains can block signals. As a mean to resolve this problem, the quasi-zenith satellite system has been proposed as a next-generation satellite navigation system. Quasi-zenith satellite is a system which simultaneously deploys several satellites in a quasi-zenith geostationary orbit so that one of the satellites always stay close to the zenith if viewed from a specific point on the ground of East Asia. Thus, if a position measurement function compatible with CPS is installed in the quasi-zenith and stationary satellites, and these satellites are utilized together with the CPS, four satellites can be accessed simultaneously nearly all day long and a substantial improvement in position measurement, especially in metropolitan areas, can be achieved. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of quasi-zenith satellite system on positioning accuracy improvement through simulation by using precise orbital information of the satellites and a three-dimensional digital map. Through this developed simulation system, it is possible to calculate the number of simultaneously visible satellites and available area for positioning without the need of actual observation. Furthermore, this system can calculate the Dilution Of Precision (DOP) and the error distribution.

COsmicheskaya Sisteyama Poiska Avariynich Sudov Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking (COSPAS-SARSAT) is an international communication support program to perform search and rescue (SAR) operations in emergency situations by using satellite signals relayed from a beacon. The legacy COSPAS-SARSAT was originally composed of low altitude and geostationary Earth orbit satellites; thus, a limited number of directional dish antennas was sufficient to cover the limited number of visible satellites at the local user terminal. However, the second generation COSPAS-SARSAT newly added the medium Earth orbit satellites, e.g., Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to the existing system, so that the number of visible satellites increase dramatically, and the system upgrade to cover all the visible satellites is foreseen. The additional use of planned Korea Positioning System (KPS) to existing GNSS is envisaged to provide a better performance of their SAR service. This paper presents the benefits of the additional use of KPS together with the phased array antennas at the local user terminal of the COSPAS-SARSAT. This is to effectively response to the increase of the number of visible satellites. Numerical simulation is included to evaluate the performance improvement of COSPAS-SARSAT in terms of the number of visible satellites, geometry between satellites and user, and position estimation accuracy.

경희대학교의 인공위성 관측용 40cm 망원경 시스템을 이용하여 한반도 주변상공에서 관측이 가능한 정지궤도위성 중 6개국의 통신위성 9기와 기상위성 1기를 선정하여 저분산 분광관측을 시도하였다. 그 결과 가시광 영역에서 인공위성 각각의 고유한 분광선 형태가 상호간 현저하게 차이가 있어 보였고 이를 분광선 패턴에 따라 4종류의 그룹으로 분류가 가능하였다 국가별, 임무별로 인공위성의 정밀한 분광선 패턴별 목록화를 위해서는 더 많은 인공위성의 분광관측 데이터가 필요하고 이를 바탕으로 지상 실험실 측정자료와 비교하여 인공위성의 외부 구조체 재질과 색깔을 식별하여야 한다.

In Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, satellites operate fast and the inter-satellite link change period is short. In order to sense the spectrum state in LEO satellite networks in real-time, a space-based satellite network intelligent spectrum sensing algorithm based on artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed, while Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites are introduced to make fast and effective judgments on the spectrum state of LEO satellites by using their stronger arithmetic power. Firstly, the visibility constraints between LEO satellites and GEO satellites are analyzed to derive the inter-satellite link building matrix and complete the inter-satellite link situational awareness. Secondly, an ANN-based energy detection (ANN-ED) algorithm is proposed based on the traditional energy detection algorithm and artificial neural network. The ANN module is used to determine the spectrum state and optimize the traditional energy detection algorithm. GEO satellites are used to fuse the information sensed by LEO satellites and then give the spectrum decision, thereby realizing the inter-satellite spectrum state sensing. Finally, the sensing quality is evaluated by the analysis of sensing delay and sensing energy consumption. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has lower complexity, the sensing delay and sensing energy consumption compared with the traditional energy detection method.

In the satellite operation phase, a ground station should continuously monitor the status of the satellite and sends out a tasking order, and a satellite should transmit data acquired in the space to the Earth. Therefore, the communication between the satellites and the ground stations is essential. However, a satellite and a ground station located in a specific region on Earth can be connected for a limited time because the satellite is continuously orbiting the Earth, and the communication between satellites and ground stations is only possible on a one-to-one basis. That is, one satellite can not communicate with plural ground stations, and one ground station can communicate with plural satellites concurrently. For such reasons, the efficiency of the communication schedule directly affects the utilization of the satellites. Thus, in this research, considering aforementioned unique situations of spacial communication, the mixed integer programming (MIP) model for the optimal communication planning between multiple satellites and multiple ground stations (MS-MG) is proposed. Furthermore, some numerical experiments are performed to verify and validate the mathematical model. The practical example for them is constructed based on the information of existing satellites and ground stations. The communicable time slots between them were obtained by STK (System Tool Kit), which is a well known professional software for space flight simulation. In the MIP model for the MS-MG problems, the objective function is also considered the minimization of communication cost, and ILOG CPLEX software searches the optimal schedule. Furthermore, it is confirmed that this study can be applied to the location selection of the ground stations.

지구 관측위성의 데이터를 지상으로 전송하기 위해 활용되는 X-대역 주파수는 한정적이므로, 여러 위성들이 해당 동일 대역을 공유하는 방식으로 활용한다. 복수의 위성이 유사 주파수 대역을 활용하기 위해서 국제전기통신연합-전파통신부문(International Telecommunication Union - Radiocommunication; ITU-R)에서는 송신 대역 내 전력속밀도(Power Flux Density; PFD) 제한 조건이 있고, 이를 통해 위성 간 간섭 영향성을 극복하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 규정 하에서도 복수의 위성이 비교적 근접한 지상국에 접속하는 경우 간섭 영향성의 분석이 수행될 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 한반도 내에 임의 배치된 두 개의 지상국을 기준으로, 서로 다른 궤도를 따르는 두 개의 저궤도 위성에 각각 접속하여 통신할 경우에 대해 수신 신호대 간섭+잡음비(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ration; SINR) 기준으로 간섭 영향성 분석을 수행하였다. 간섭 영향성 분석을 통해 PFD 규격을 만족시키는 두 위성이라 하더라도 전체 임무 기간(365일 가정) 내에 간섭은 발생할 수 있으나 영향받는 기간이 짧고 미리 예측할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
