In the past, radio astronomers have sought isolation from man-made signals by placing their telescopes in remote locations. These measures may no longer safeguard scientific observations, since NGSO satellite systems, particularly low-Earth orbit (LEO) systems, are usually designed to provide global or wide regional coverage. Further, radio astronomers have historically made their observations in the frequency bands allocated for their use by the member countries of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The science of radio astronomy could be adversely impacted by the deployment of large constellations of new non-geostationary orbiting (NGSO) satellites for telecommunications, navigation and Earth observation, and the proliferation of new, high-power broadcasting and telecommunication satellites in geostationary (GSO) orbits. Radio telescopes are extremely sensitive, and, in certain situations, signals from satellites can overwhelm the signals from astronomical sources. This paper describes the problem in detail and identifies ways to mitigate it without adversely affecting the continued vigorous growth of commercial space-based telecommunications.

본 논문은 일본의 정지궤도 위성개발에 대한 조사 보고서이다. 1950년대부터 일본정부의 의욕적인 우주개발 덕분에, 일본은 많은 어려움을 극복하면서 1970년 일본 최초의 위성인 오수미를 발사하여 세계에서 네 번째로 자국 발사체로 위성을 성공적으로 발사하는 국가가 되었다. 그 이후 지속적인 기술축적이 이루어져 우주개발 선진국으로서의 위치를 유지하고 있다. 일본은 2003년 말까지 18기의 과학위성, 7기의 기술시험위성, 5기의 기상위성, 및 수많은 통신방송위성 등을 포함하여 총 97기의 위성을 궤도에 진입시킴으로써, 세계에서 3번째로 많은 위성 보유국이 되었다. MELCO사가 2003년 6월 Optus C1위성을 호주의 Sing Tel Optus사에 성공적으로 납품함으로써, 일본은 국제 정지궤도위성 시장에서 경쟁할 능력을 갖추었다.

We have developed solar and space weather monitoring system for space weather users since 2007 as a project named 'Construction of Korea Space Weather Prediction Center'. In this presentation we will introduce space weather monitoring system for Geostationary Satellites and Polar Routes. These were developed for satisfying demands of space weather user groups. 'Space Weather Monitoring System for Geostationary Satellites' displays integrated space weather information on geostationary orbit such as magnetopause location, nowcast and forecast of space weather, cosmic ray count rate, number of meteors and x-ray solar flux. This system is developed for space weather customers who are managing satellite systems or using satellite information. In addition, this system provides space weather warning by SMS in which short message is delivered to users' cell phones when space weather parameters reach a critical value. 'Space Weather Monitoring System for Polar Routes' was developed for the commercial airline companies operating polar routes. This provides D-region and polar cap absorption map, aurora and radiation particle distribution, nowcast and forecast of space weather, proton flux, Kp index and so on.

Geoloaction이란 다수의 위성을 이용하여 지구상에 존재하는 송신기의 위치를 결정하는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 한 기의 정지제도 위성과 한 기의 저궤도 위성을 이용하여 위성에 수신된 신호를 처리하여 얻은 도래 시간차(time difference of arrival or TDOA) 측정치로부터 정적인 송신기의 위치를 추정하는 문제를 다룬다. 위성들의 부정확한 위치 정보와 잡음이 더해진 도래 시간차 측정치를 이용한 geolocation 문제의 경우, 정확한 위치 추정치를 얻기 위하여 total least squares (TLS) 알고리즘으로 접근한다. Monte-Carlo 실험을 통해 기존의 least squares (LS) 방법과 비교함으로써 제안한 TLS 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하였다.

Recently, there are a number of studies over dynamic analysis for minimizing vibration of flexible structures such as solar panel for agility of high-agility satellite. The traditional studies perform dynamic analysis of a solar panel assumed as rigid structure since the stiffness of solar panel is higher than the stiffness of solar panel's hinge spring. However, there are vibrations that have modes of bending and torsion when high-agility satellite rotate speedily. This vibrations result in delaying safety time of satellite or degrading image quality. This paper presents dynamic analysis's technique of satellites including the spring hinge of solar panel and flexible structural solar panel's effects described as the linear equation of motion using Lagrange's theorem, and verifies the validity of an established dynamic analysis's technique of satellites by comparing the finite element method. In addition high-agility satellite's dynamic characteristics of a torque profile are analyzed from the established dynamic analysis's technique of satellites.

위성 산업은 상업적 군사적 유용성 등의 특성으로 인해 지속적인 발달이 이루어져 왔다. 이중에서도 위성의 전력 시스템은 위성의 수명에 직접적인 관련을 가지고 있으며, 실제 궤도상에서의 Test가 불가능한 특성을 보인다. 또한 저궤도 소형위성은 전력에 민감하므로, 효과적인 전력의 안정화 및 신뢰성 향상은 중요한 문제이다. 일반적으로 저궤도 위성의 전력은 각 부하의 특성에 따라 변환 및 제어가 이루어진다. 따라서 저궤도위성의 전력 시스템은 일반적으로 여러 단계의 전력 변환을 거치게 되므로, 신뢰성 향상을 위한 1차 및 2차 혹은 그 이상 단계의 Converter의 일반화 모델링 및 안정화를 위한 제어기 설계 및 외란에 의한 영향성의 분석이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 저 궤도 위성 전력계 시스템의 전력 변환을 위한 Converter의 일반화 모델링을 통해 안정화 설계를 위한 파라미터를 추정하고 이를 통한 신뢰성 향상 및 최적 제어 방법에 대해 알아보기로 한다.

Pc1 pulsations are geomagnetic fluctuations in the frequency range of 0.2 to 5 Hz. There have been several observations of Pc1 pulsations in low earth orbit by MAGSAT, DE-2, Viking, Freja, CHAMP, and SWARM satellites. However, there has been a clear limitation in resolving the spatial and temporal variations of the pulsation by using a single-point observation by a single satellite. To overcome such limitations of previous observations, a new space mission was recently initiated, using the concept of multi-satellites, named the Small scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma Experiments (SNIPE). The SNIPE mission consists of four nanosatellites (~10 kg), which will be launched into a polar orbit at an altitude of 600 km (TBD) in 2020. Four satellites will be deployed in orbit, and the distances between each satellite will be controlled from 10 to 1,000 km by a high-end formation-flying algorithm. One of the possible science targets of the SNIPE mission is observing electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. In this paper, we report on examples of observations, showing the limitations of previous EMIC observations in low earth orbit, and suggest possibilities to overcome those limitations through a new mission.

In land navigation applications, two kinds of GPS/DR integration schemes are commonly used; the loosely-coupled integration scheme and the tightly-coupled one. The loosely-coupled integration filter has a simple structure and is easy to implement. When the number of visible satellites is insufficient, however, it cannot calibrate the errors of the DR sensors. On the contrary the tigthly-coupled integration filter can sup-press the growth of the error in the DR output even when the visibility is poor. However, it has larger com-putation load due to the state dimension and is inconsistent because of the variation in the measurement dimension. This paper presents a GPS/DR integration scheme with dual integration mode. During when the number of visible satellites is sufficient, the proposed scheme operates in a loosely-coupled integration mode. When the visibility becomes poor, it is switched into a tightly-coupled integration mode. Consequently, the pro-posed scheme can calibrate the DR sensors even when the visibility is poor. In addition, its computation time remains constant even if the number of visible satellites increases. Field experiment results show that the performance of the proposed integration method is almost similar to that of the tightly-coupled one.

이동국은 최소 4개 이상의 인공위성에서 제공하는 신호를 이용하여 자신의 위치 정보를 획득한다. 현대에 들어 위성항법시스템은 다양한 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이동국과 위성 사이에는 측위 시, 정확도 오차를 발생 시키는 많은 요인이 존재한다. 위성 시간 오차, 궤도 오차, 전리층/대류층 굴절, 다중 경로 등의 원인으로 이동국은 정밀한 위치 정보 획득이 불가능 하다. 이러한 오차 발생을 줄이기 위한 보정 기법으로 Differential GPS(DGPS)와 Real-Time Kinematic(RTK)가 개발되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동국이 정밀한 위치 정보를 획득하기 위해서 RTK 기법이 적용된 단말을 개발하고자 한다.

The sun is a useful reference direction because of its brightness relative to other astronomical objects and its relatively small apparent radius as viewed by spacecrafts near the Earth. Most satellites use solar power as a source of energy, and so need to make sure that solar panels are oriented correctly with respect to the sun. Also, some satellites have sensitive instruments that must not be exposed to direct sunlight. For all these reasons, sun sensors are important components in spacecraft attitude determination and control systems. To minimize components and structural mass, some components have multiple purposes. The solar cells will provide power and also be used as coarse sun sensors. A coarse Sun sensor is a low-cost attitude determination sensor suitable for a wide range of space missions. The sensor measures the sun angle in two orthogonal axes. The Sun sensor measures the sun angle in both azimuth and elevation. This paper presents the development of a model to determine the attitude of a small cube-shaped satellite in space relative to the sun's direction. This sensor helps small cube-shaped Pico satellites to perform accurate attitude determination without requiring additional hardware.
