This paper presents a satellite relative navigation strategy for formation flying, which chooses an appropriate navigation algorithm according to the operating environment. Not only global positioning system (GPS) measurements, but laser measurements can also be utilized to determine the relative positions of satellites. Laser data is used solely or together with GPS measurements. Numerical simulations were conducted to compare the relative navigation algorithm using only laser data and laser data combined with GPS data. If an accurate direction of laser pointing is estimated, the relative position of satellites can be determined using only laser measurements. If not, the combined algorithm has better performance, and is irrelevant to the precision of the relative angle data between two satellites in spherical coordinates. Within 10 km relative distance between satellites, relative navigation using double difference GPS data makes more precise relative position estimation results. If the simulation results are applied to the relative navigation strategy, the proper algorithm can be chosen, and the relative position of satellites can be estimated precisely in changing mission environments.

This investigation primarily focuses on the generational characteristics of satellites utilized in the existing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Regional Navigation Satellite System (RNSS), with a central emphasis on comparing the operational status of the latest generation satellites. Variations among satellite generations in physical attributes, energy consumption, and timekeeping are observed, enabling an exploration of the developmental trends over successive generations. Through a comparative analysis of the latest generation satellites, particularly in terms of performance, this study aims to furnish essential insights into the satellites employed within each system. Consequently, it will contribute to a foundational understanding of the past, present, and future GNSS satellites.

In this paper, an approach is developed for relative state estimation of satellite formation flying. To estimate relative states of two satellites, the Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm is adopted with the relative distance and speed between two satellites and attitude of satellite for measurements. Numerical simulations are conducted under two circumstances. The first one presents both chief and deputy satellites are orbiting a circular reference orbit around a perfectly spherical Earth model with no disturbing acceleration, in which the elementary relative orbital motion is taken into account. In reality, however, the Earth is not a perfect sphere, but rather an oblate spheroid, and both satellites are under the effect of $J_2$ geopotential disturbance, which causes the relative distance between two satellites to be on the gradual increase. A near-Earth orbit decays as a result of atmospheric drag. In order to remove the modeling error, the second scenario incorporates the effect of the $J_2$ geopotential force, and the atmospheric drag, and the eccentricity in satellite orbit are also considered.

This paper is devoted to investigate the feasibility of using a medium power ground-based laser to produce a torque on LEO satellites of various shapes. The laser intensity delivered to a satellite is calculated using a simple model of laser propagation in which a standard atmospheric condition and linear atmospheric interaction mechanism is assumed. The laser force is formulated using a geocentric equatorial system in which the Earth is an oblate spheroid. The torque is formulated for a cylindrical satellite, spherical satellites and for satellites of complex shape. The torque algorithm is implemented for some sun synchronous low Earth orbit cubesats. Based on satellites perigee height, the results demonstrate that laser torque affecting on a cubesat has a maximum value in the order of $10^{-9}$ which is comparable with that of solar radiation. However, it has a minimum value in the order of $10^{-10}$ which is comparable with that of gravity gradient. Moreover, the results clarify the dependency of the laser torque on the orbital eccentricity. As the orbit becomes more circular it will experience less torque. So, we can conclude that the ground based laser torque has a significant contribution on the low Earth orbit cubesats. It can be adjusted to obtain the required control torque and it can be used as an active attitude control system for cubesats.

We trace the cosmological origin of satellites around isolated dwarf galaxies using a very high resolution (12 pc/h) cosmological hydrodynamic zoom simulation. To realistically describe the formation and evolution of small-mass stellar satellites, our model includes a full baryonic physics treatment. We find that the mini-halos form objects resembling dwarf galaxies. The majority of their star forming gas is accreted after reionization, thus the survival of a mini-halo's gas to reionization is not an important factor. Instead, the key factor seems to be the ability for a mini-halo to cool its recently accreted gas, which is more efficient in more massive halos. Although the host galaxy is only a dwarf galaxy itself, we find that ram pressure is an efficient means by which accreted mini-halos lose their gas content, both by interacting with hot halo gas but also in direct collisions with the gas disk of the host. The satellites are also disrupted by the tidal forces near the center of the host galaxy. Compared to the disrupted satellites, surviving satellites are relatively more massive, but tend to infall later into the host galaxy, thus reducing the time they are subjected to destructive environmental mechanisms and dynamical friction.

As a crucial development direction for the sixth generation of mobile communication networks (6G), Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks exhibit characteristics such as low latency, seamless coverage, and high bandwidth. However, the frequent changes in the topology of LEO satellite networks complicate communication between satellites, and satellite power resources are limited. To fully utilize resources on satellites, it is essential to determine the association between satellites before power allocation. To effectively address the satellite association problem in LEO satellite networks, this paper proposes a satellite association-based resource allocation algorithm. The algorithm comprehensively considers the throughput of the satellite network and the fairness associated with satellite correlation. It formulates an objective function with logarithmic utility by taking the logarithm and summing the satellite channel capacities. This aims to maximize the sum of logarithmic utility while promoting the selection of fewer associated satellites for forwarding satellites, thereby enhancing the fairness of satellite association. The problems of satellite association and power allocation are solved under constraints on resources and transmission rates, maximizing the logarithmic utility function. The paper employs an improved Kuhn-Munkres (KM) algorithm to solve the satellite association problem and determine the correlation between satellites. Based on the satellite association results, the paper uses the Lagrangian dual method to solve the power allocation problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm enhances the fairness of satellite association, optimizes resource utilization, and effectively improves the throughput of LEO satellite networks.

경희대학교 천문대의 30인치 망원경을 이용하여 한반도 상공에서 관측이 가능하고 현재 운용중인 정지궤도 및 Molynia궤도 회전안정화위성 5기를 대상으로 측광관측을 시도하여 위성체의 버스모델별 자전주기를 알아보았다. 제작사별로 공개된 3기의 회전안정화위성에 대한 자전주기를 지상관측을 통하여 최초로 검증하였고 알려지지 않은 2기의 회전안정화위성에 대해서도 자전주기를 추정하였다. 공개된 자전주기는 ASIASAT 1과 THAICOM 1이 1.09초, JCSAT 2가 1.71초였고 관측결과 얻어진 자전주기는 각각 0.95, 1.06, 1.73rpm 초로 평균 0.06초의 차이를 보였다. 자전율로 환산하면 공개 된 ASIASAT 1과 THAICOM 1이 55rpm, JCSAT 2가 35rpm이고 관측결과로 구한 자전율은 각각 62.9, 56.5, 34.6rpm으로 평 균 3.3rpm의 차이 가 나타났다. 검증결과 정지궤도 회전안정화위성의 자전을 운용에 따른 허용 오차범위인 수 rpm내를 모두 만족하였다 알려지지 않은 Fengyun 2B와 Molynia 1-87 위성의 자전율은 각각 89.3rpm, 78.4rpm으로 관측되었다. 회전안정화위성의 자전주기 연구는 단주기 펄스를 갖는 우주물체에 대한 비교광원 결정에 유용하게 활용될 수 있으며 인공위성의 측광 및 분광관측과 더불어 위성 특성별 데이터 베이스를 구축하는데 도움이 될 것이라 판단된다.

소형위성은 저비용으로 단기간에 개발이 가능하기 때문에 이를 통해 폭 넓은 우주 연구를 수행할 수 있고 다양한 분야의 활용 가능하다. 소형위성은 빠른 개발이 가능한 이점이 있다. 따라서 신속 대응 우주 구현이 주목됨에 따라 소형위성의 역할이 급속히 증가하고 있다. 하지만 소형위성은 기존의 위성에 비해 크기나 전력의 제약이 많기 때문에 고성능의 안정적인 시스템을 기대하기는 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 빠른 개발을 위해 표준화와 모듈화 설계가 필요하다. 모듈화는 플러그 앤 플레이(Plug-and-Play)를 지원하여 수일 내에 인공위성 제작 및 시험을 가능하게 한다. 이러한 모듈 간의 원활한 데이터 통신을 위해서는 데이터 버스의 표준이 요구된다. CAN 통신 방식은 플러그 앤 플레이에 가장 효과적으로 대처 할 수 있는 통신방식으로 꼽힌다. CAN은 높은 신뢰성을 가지며 분산 시스템을 지원하여 위성의 호환성을 높여준다. 따라서 시험이 용이해지고 짧은 기간에 고성능의 안정적인 위성 개발이 가능하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 모듈화 방식의 소형위성 개발 방안에 대해 제안하고, CAN을 데이터 버스로 적용하여 소형위성 내부 데이터 인터페이스 버스를 설계하고 시험을 통해 적합성을 분석하여 기술하였다.
