In Europe most Earth Observation (EO) data users rely on several EO missions, both to increase sustainability of their service and to widen the range of observation parameters. In addition to its own missions such as ERS 1 &2, ENVISAT and the Earth Explorers, ESA therefore offers access to the scientific and applications community to so-called 'Third Party Missions'. Third Party (TP) missions are complementing the observations of ESA missions, are used to prepare for future ESA missions including cross-calibration and create synergy to favor a wider use of EO data within ESA Member States.

The unknown excess emission in the near-infrared is thought to be related to the evolution of galaxies in the early epoch of Universe. Due to its extremely faint brightness, it can be observed only in space. Many infrared space missions have been tried to trace the origin of the Cosmic Infrared Background through the measurement of its absolute brightness and its spatial fluctuation. In addition, the infrared observations can address questions ranging from the origin of first galaxies in the Universe to the formation of stars. I will overview the Korean infrared space missions and introduce the status of the recent international collaboration mission, SPHEREx.

Asteroids represent a significant resource for space exploration and scientific research. Various scientific missions have already performed and planned to investigate and understand the characteristics of asteroids. This talk introduces many space missions to asteroids. Representing missions to asteroids are the NASA's NEAR, Deep Space-1, Dawn, OSIRIS-Rex, SCOUT, DART, and ESA's Rosetta, and JAXA's Hayabusa 1 and 2, and DESTINY+ missions, and others. Although it is a very rare event, the possibility of Earth-crossing asteroids (ECAs) colliding with the Earth can never also be ignored. Numerous mitigation concepts also have been proposed to deflect ECAs in preparing for the disasters which might occur in future days. In the early studies for mitigation schemes, most of analyses were centered on to deflect ECAs with impacting the energy to the object to change its orbit. This talk also introduces many methods to deflect the orbit of ECAs, and shows spacecraft trajectories to asteroids.

우주 행성 지반 탐사 미션은 1970년대에 활발하게 이루어졌으나 1990~2000년대에는 예산 문제로 쇠퇴기를 맞았다. 그러나 미래에 지구 자원 고갈에 대비하고 헬륨-3 및 희토류와 같이 우주에는 풍부하지만 지구에는 부족한 자원을 탐사하기 위해서는 우주 자원 탐사는 필수적이다. 또한, 우주 기술 발전은 미래 산업 발전의 원동력이 된다. 따라서 우주 자원 탐사 및 활용을 위해 최근 10년 동안 우주 행성 탐사를 위한 선진국 간의 기술 경쟁이 다시 가속화되고 있다. 이 우주 행성 자원 탐사/채굴 및 기지 건설 미션을 위해서는 지반 탐사가 필요하며 현재까지 달에 대한 탐사 미션으로는 Apollo 미션과 LUNA 미션, Chang'E 미션 등이 있고 해당 미션에서 유인 및 로버를 활용한 무인 시추 미션을 수행하였다. 화성 미션으로는 Viking, Spirit/Opportunity, Phoenix, Perseverance 미션, 소행성 탐사 미션은 하야 부사(Hyabusa) 미션이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 수행된 우주 행성 광물 자원 탐사 기술에 대해 서술하고 향후 우리나라의 기술과제에 대하여 서술하였다.

In spite of a short history of only 30 years in space development, Korea has achieved outstanding space development capabilities, and became the $11^{th}$ member of the "Space Club" in 2013 by launching its own satellites with its own launch vehicle from a local space center. With the successful development and operation of more than 10 earth-orbiting satellites since 1999, Korea is now rapidly expanding its own aspirations to outer space exploration. Unlike earth-orbiting missions, planetary missions are more demanding of well-rounded technological capabilities, specifically trajectory design, analysis, and navigation. Because of the importance of relevant technologies, the Korean astronautical society devoted significant efforts to secure these basic technologies from the early 2000s. This paper revisits the numerous efforts conducted to date, specifically regarding flight dynamics and navigation technology, to prepare for future upcoming planetary missions in Korea. However, sustained efforts are still required to realize such challenging planetary missions, and efforts to date will significantly advance the relevant Korean technological capabilities.

The next generation small satellite-1 (NEXTSat-1) program has been kicked off in 2012, and it will be launched in 2016 for the science missions and the verification of space core technologies. The payloads for these science missions are the Instrument for the Study of Space Storms (ISSS) and NIR Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history (NISS). The ISSS and the NISS have been developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Korea Astronomy and Space science Institute (KASI) respectively. The ISSS detects plasma densities and particle fluxes of 10 MeV energy range near the Earth and the NISS uses spectrometer. In order to verify the spacecraft core technologies in the space, the total of 7 space core technologies (SCT) will be applied to the NEXTSat-1 for space verification and those are under development. Thus, the operation modes for the ISSS and the NISS for space science missions and 7 SCTs for technology missions are analyzed for the required operation time during the NEXTSat-1's mission life time of 2 years. In this paper, the operational concept of the NEXTSat-1's science missions as well as the verification of space core technologies are presented considering constraints of volume, mass, and power after launch.

위성 운용 및 우주 탐사 미션에서 레인징은 우주 항행체의 위치 정보를 얻기 위한 가장 필수적인 기술이다. 최근에 우주 탐사 미션의 정교한 수행을 위하여 우주 개발국들 간의 상호 협력의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 상호 협력을 위하여 우주 개발국간의 상호 호환성을 가지는 레인징 시스템이 요구된다. 이러한 이유로, CCSDS는 디지털 표준 레인징 시스템으로서 의사 잡음 레인징을 권고하고 있다. CCSDS 표준 레인징 시스템에서의 의사 잡음 시퀀스의 길이는 심우주 미션에 적합하며 지구 근접 미션에 적용하기는 매우 길다. 본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성, 중궤도 위성 그리고 정지궤도 위성과 같은 지구 근접 미션에 적합한 짧은 길이의 의사 잡음 레인징 시퀀스를 제안하고, CCSDS 표준 의사 잡음 레인징 시스템을 포함하는 다중임무 수행에 적합한 가변길이 의사 잡음 레인징 시스템을 제안한다.

Interstellar objects originate from other stellar systems. Thus, they contain information about the stellar systems that cannot be directly explored; the information includes the formation and evolution of the stellar systems and the possibility of life. The examples observed so far are 1l/Oumuamua in 2017 and 2l/Borisov in 2019. In this talk, we present the possibility of detecting interstellar objects using the Heliospheric Imagers designed for space weather research and forecasting by observing solar wind in interplanetary space between the Sun and Earth. Because interstellar objects are unpredictable events, the detection requires observations with wide coverage in spatial and long duration in temporal. The near-real time data availability is essential for follow-up observations to study their detailed properties and future rendezvous missions. Heliospheric Imagers provide day-side observations, inaccessible by traditional astronomical observations. This will dramatically increase the temporal and spatial coverage of observations and also the probability of detecting interstellar objects visiting our solar system, together with traditional astronomical observations. We demonstrate that this is the case. We have used data taken from Solar TErrestrial RElation Observatory (STEREO)/Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) HI-1. HI-1 is off-pointed from the Sun direction by 14 degrees with 20 degrees of the field of view. Using images observed from 2007 to 2019, we have found a total of 223 small objects other than stars, galaxies, or planets, indicative of the potential capability to detect interstellar objects. The same method can be applied to the currently operating missions such as the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter and also future L5 and L4 missions. Since the data can be analyzed in near-real time due to the space weather purposes, more detailed properties can be analyzed by follow-up observations in ground and space, and also future rendezvous missions. We discuss future possible rendezvous missions at the end of this talk.

We discuss some typical procedures to measure the efficiency of telecommand authentication systems in space missions. As a case-study, the Packet Telecommand Standard used by the European Space Agency is considered. It is shown that, although acceptable under well consolidated evaluation suites, the standard presents some flaws particularly in regard to the randomness level of the pre-signature. For this reason, some possible changes are proposed and evaluated that should be able to improve performance, even reducing the on-board elaboration time.
