CNUSAIL-1은 태양돛을 탑재한 3U크기의 큐브위성이다. 주 임무는 저궤도에서 태양돛을 전개하는 것이며, 추가적으로 태양돛 전개와 태양돛 운용에 따른 위성의 자세/궤도변화를 확인하는 임무를 수행한다. 이를 위해, 위성의 각 시스템은 위성의 동적 데이터와 태양돛 작동 사진을 수집하고 지상국으로 전송한다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 임무를 수행하는 CNUSAIL-1의 태양돛 임무를 소개하고 시스템 개념설계 결과를 나타낸다. 탑재체인 태양돛의 구동 및 운용 원리를 구현하고, 버스시스템을 자세제어계, 통신계, 전력계, 명령 및 데이터 처리계, 구조 및 열 제어계로 나누어 개념 설계를 수행한다.

In this work, preliminary launch opportunities from NARO Space Center to the Sun-Earth Lagrange point are analyzed. Among five different Sun-Earth Lagrange points, L1 and L2 points are selected as suitable candidates for, respectively, solar and astrophysics missions. With high fidelity dynamics models, the L1 and L2 point targeting problem is formulated regarding the location of NARO Space Center and relevant Target Interface Point (TIP) for each different launch date is derived including launch injection energy per unit mass (C3), Right ascension of the injection orbit Apoapsis Vector (RAV) and Declination of the injection orbit Apoapsis Vector (DAV). Potential launch periods to achieve L1 and L2 transfer trajectory are also investigated regarding coasting characteristics from NARO Space Center. The magnitude of the Lagrange Orbit Insertion (LOI) burn, as well as the Orbit Maintenance (OM) maneuver to maintain more than one year of mission orbit around the Lagrange points, is also derived as an example. Even the current work has been made under many assumptions as there are no specific mission goals currently defined yet, so results from the current work could be a good starting point to extend diversities of future Korean deep-space missions.

The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has been collaborating with the NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, to install a coronagraph on the International Space Station (ISS). The coronagraph will utilize spectral information to simultaneously measure electron density, temperature, and velocity. As a first step, we developed a new coronagraph and launched it on a stratospheric balloon in 2019 (BITSE) from Fort Sumner, New Mexico in USA. As the next step, the coronagraph will be be further developed, installed and operate on the ISS (CODEX) in 2022 to address a number of important questions (e.g., source and acceleration of solar wind, and coronal heating) in the physics of the solar corona and the heliosphere. Recently, BITSE has been launched at Fort Sumner, New Mexico. In this presentation, we will introduce the BITSE mission and discuss recent progress.

The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile (MAVEN) mission has been providing valuable information on the atmospheric loss of Mars since its launch in November 2013. The Neutral Gass and Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS) onboard MAVEN, was developed to analyze the composition of the Martian upper atmospheric neutrals and ions depending on various space weather conditions. We investigate a variation of upper atmospheric ion densities depending on the interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). It is known that the Mars has a very weak global magnetic field, so upper atmosphere of Mars has been strongly affected by the solar activities. Meanwhile, a strong crustal magnetic field exists on local surfaces, so they also have a compensating effect on the upper atmospheric loss outside the Mars. The weak crustal field has an influence up to 200km altitude, but on a strong field region, especially east longitude of $180^{\circ}$ and latitude of $-50^{\circ}$, they have an influence over 1,400km altitude. In this paper, we investigated which is more dominant between the crustal field effect and the ICME effect to the atmospheric loss. At 400km altitude, the ion density over the strong crustal field region did not show a significant variation despite of ICME event. However, over the other areas, the variation associated with ICME event is far more overwhelming.

향후 우리나라의 달탐사 임무에 대비하여 순간 추력을 이용한 한국형 달탐사 예비 임무 설계 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 달 탐사 임무 수행을 위한 지구 출발 단계, 달 천이 단계, 달 도착 및 임무 수행 궤도 단계를 포함한 임무 설계가 이루어 졌다. 이 소프트웨어를 이용하면 순간 추력을 사용한 최적의 달탐사 비행궤적을 설계할 수 있다. 이를 바탕으로 우리나라의 우주 발사체인 KSLV-II를 사용할 때의 발사 가능한 달 탐사선의 최대 질량을 산출하여 보았다. 아울러 심우주 추적망을 이용하여 탐사선의 추적 가능 여부에 대한 해석이 이루어 졌으며 탐사선과의 통신, 태양 전지판의 지향점 해석 그리고 식기간의 분석을 위한 지구-달-탐사선-태양 간의 기하학적 위치에 대한 해석도 함께 이루어졌다.

달탐사 임무를 수행하는 인공위성의 경우 임무수행을 하는 과정에서 3체에 의한 인력, 태양풍 그리고 추력시스템의 추력오차 등의 많은 예기치 못한 외부 섭동력에 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 주어진 임무궤도를 따라서 인공위성이 운영되기 위해서 궤적 보정 기동이 필요하다. 우주 탐사의 초창기 시절에는 이러한 임무궤도는 주로 2체 운동방정식에 기반을 한 패치 코닉(Patched Conic)기법으로 생성을 하였으며, 이로 인해 2체 운동방정식에 기반을 한 궤적 보정 기동이 많이 사용되어져 왔다. 하지만 최근 컴퓨터 연산능력의 향상에 기인하여 이러한 임무궤도를 지구-인공위성-달의 3체 운동방정식에 기반하여 설계하고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 기존의 2체 운동방식 기반의 궤적 보정 기동으로는 실제 우주환경과 많은 차이를 보이기 때문에 달의 작용권구(Sphere of Influence)에 접근할수록 많은 궤도오차를 보이며, 이를 보정하기 위해서 많은 에너지가 필요하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 3체 운동방정식에 기인한 궤적 보정 기동에 대하여 기술하고자 한다.

On 21 August 2017, during 16:49 UT and 20:02 UT period, a total solar eclipse started. The totality shadow occurred over the United States in time between ~17:15 UT and ~18:47 UT. When the solar radiation is blocked by the moon, observations of the ionospheric parameters will be important in the space weather community. Fortunately, during this eclipse, two Swarm satellites (A and C) flied at about 445 km through lunar penumbra at local noon of United States in the upper ionosphere. In this work, we investigate the effect of the solar eclipse on electron density, slant total electron content (STEC) and electron temperature using data from Swarm mission over United States. We use calibrated measurements of plasma density and electron temperature. Our results indicate that: (1) the electron density and STEC have a significant depletion associated with the eclipse; which could be due to dominance of dissociative recombination over photoionization caused by the reduction of ionizing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation during the eclipse time (2) the electron temperature decreases, compared with a reference day, by up to ~150 K; which could be due to the decrease in photoelectron heating from reduced photoionization.

This paper addresses the conceptual design results of the HAUSAT-1 (Hankuk Aviation University SATellite-1), developed by Space System Research Lab. of Hankuk Aviation Univ., which is a new generation picosatellite. This project has been funded by Korean Government for the purpose of developing the space core technology. This is the first attempt at the level of university in Korea to develop the satellite weighing less than 1kg and accelerates opportunities with low construction, low launch cost space experiment platforms. The purpose of the HAUSAT-1 project is to offer graduate and undergraduate students great opportunities to be able to understand the design process of satellite development as a team member. Its mission objectives are to track its position by the GPS receiver system, to deploy the thin film solar cell panel to generate extra power, and to measure plasma density and temperature with the plasma sensor. The HAUSAT-1 will orbit at the altitude of 650 km with 65 degree inclination angle with 12 months of design mission life. It is planned to be launched on November 2003 by Russian launch vehicle "Dnepr".

저고도, 태양동기궤도인 아리랑 1호의 최초 임무운영 목표였던 3년 동안 관측된 궤도 변화를 분석하였다. 초기운영기간 동안 최적화된 궤도를 획득하기 위해 총 4회의 궤도조정이 있었으며, 총 8회의 안전모드가 발생하였다. 예상치 않은 안전모드 발생과 임무기간 동안 최고조에 달했던 태양활동이 궤도변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 초기 궤도조정 완료 직후 임무운영 기간에 대해 예측되었던 장기 궤도예측 결과와 궤도결정을 통해 실측된 궤도와의 차이를 분석하였다. 최적화된 궤도에서부터 운영된 3년의 임무기간 동안 고도를 제외한 나머지 궤도요소들은 설계된 임무궤도 범위 내에서 변화하였고, 태양동기궤도 특성을 유지하였음을 확인하였다.

We develop a coronagraph to measure the coronal electron density, temperature, and speed by observing the linearly polarized brightness of solar corona with 4 different wavelengths. Through the total solar eclipse on 21 August 2017, we test an operating software of a prototype coronagraph working with two sub-systems of two motorized filter wheels and a CCD camera that are controlled by a portable embedded computer. A Core Flight System (CFS) is a reusable software framework and set of reusable software applications which take advantage of a rich heritage of successful space mission of NASA. We use the CFS software framework to develop the operating software that can control the two sub-systems asynchronously in an observation scenario and communicate with a remote computer about commands, housekeeping data through Ethernet. The software works successfully and obtains about 160 images of 12 filter sets (4 bandpass filters and 3 polarization angles) during the total phase of the total solar eclipse. For the future, we can improve the software reliability by testing the software with a sufficient number of test cases using a testing framework COSMOS. The software will be integrated into the coronagraph for balloon-borne experiments in 2019.
