This paper introduces the lithium ion battery system for LEO(Low Earth Orbit) small satellites. This study proves the reliability of lithium ion batteries applying to the space application. The specifications for lithium ion battery unit are proposed to supply power to the satellite and the overall mechanical design including structural simulation to confirm the reliability of the lithium ion BMS(Battery Management System) under the space environment and launching conditions. The results of structural simulation, functional tests, and space environmental tests show the lithium ion battery system is space qualified. Space qualification of the small satellite battery system to secure reliability of BMS and lithium ion batteries lend credibility for using lithium ion batteries in space application.

NASA launched Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) on February 2011 in order to understand the cause of solar activities and their influences on the Earth and the near-Earth space. KASI is constructing Korean Data Center for SDO based on the letter of agreement between KASI and NASA for space weather research. SDO produces about 1.5 TB a day and its raw data amounts to about 550 TB in a year. Stanford University has been already operating the data center for scientific raw data, but there is a limit to use its data for space weather research and space weather service in real time because of network environment. Korean Data Center for SDO will provide scientific data not only to Korean institutes but also to international space weather societies. KASI has designed the data transfer system by using GLORIAD in order to get higher performance and stability. After the first construction of data transfer system and storage system in this year, we will increase the storage capacity of the data center in phases considering new developments in a storage technology and drop of their prices.

The MIRIS (Multi-purpose IR Imaging System), as the main payload of Science and Technology Satellite-3 (STSAT-3), is being developed by KASI in collaboration with several institutes for wide-field space observation in near IR wavelength. The Engineering Qualification Model (EQM) of MIRIS has been designed and fabricated in the laboratory. The system performance tests have been made including opto-mechanics, vibration test, thermal-vacuum environmental test and passive cooling test down to 200K. Most of the performance test results were satisfied with system requirements. The results of MIRIS performance tests have been presented at Critical Design Review (CDR) on September 2009. Several revisions were also recommended for Flight Model (FM) design, and detailed plan to develop FM of MIRIS is discussed in this paper.

Recently, the number of unsold apartments has been increasing, and apartment furnishing companies have tried a marketing strategy by utilizing the outdoor space for differentiation. There are many differentiation strategies. One of them is to improve the dwellings-on-ground space in apartment complex. Owing to the high density and high-rise of apartment buildings, the dwellings-on-ground apartment complex have been recognized as not good housing by residents in korea. The precedent study on the responses from residents showed the negative effects mainly due to sunlight, daylight, view and privacy and the positive effects from good accessibility and good environment for children and elderly people. The purpose of this study was to improve the dwellings-on-ground space and to suggest the most appropriate type of the dwellings-on-ground space through the residents' desires and preferences. In this point of view, this study shows three results for the design improvement: 1) Providing private gardens and individual accesses to the dwellings-on-ground. 2) Providing private garden with flower bed to intensify the visual aspect. 3) Furnishing variable transformation of unit plan in dwellings-on-ground, for example, maisonette, etc.

STSAT-2 (Science & Technology SATellite-2) is a Korea micro-satellite which will be launched at NARO Space center in Koheung, Korea. Launch vehicle for STSAT-2 is KSLV-1 (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1) which is the first development in Korea space launch vehicle program. Starting development in 2002 EM(Engineering Model), PFM(Proto-Flight Model), and FM(Flight Model) were developed completely. Electrical functional test, space environmental test, and launch vehicle environmental test on system level are performed for testing those development models. In this paper we report the results of STSAT-2 PFM space environmental test and launch vehicle environmental test which is successfully completed.

A space launch vehicle is a very complex system composed of many kinds of components. It is necessary for even a small piece of components in it to be free of defects, malfunctions and to operate normally for the sake of the mission success. For these reasous, a variety of tests are carried out. Burn-in test is to detect latent material and workmanship defects which occurs early in the components use. Developed countries for the space technology have considered the burn-in test for flight vehicles in the standard test documents and performed it. Referred to the documents, application methods of burn-in test will be considered for the components of domestic space launch vehicles such as KSLV-I in this document.

In this study, remodeling projects are perceived as a sustainable urban management policy to boost the value of old apartments and stimulate urban regeneration and development. To evaluate the physical environmental performance of external spaces of remodeled apartments, an evaluation model was developed. After applying it to the target places, the following results were obtained. First, analysis of the external space change index of the target apartments revealed that institutional standards are necessary in line with the building arrangement type, parking lot expansion method, and changes in the building-to-land ratio. Second, the score ratio as to the external space change index performance is as follows: safety (48.30); pleasantness (25.90); convenience (18.90); eco-friendliness (14.90). In other words, "safety" had the biggest score ratio. Third, to boost the external space performance of remodeled apartments, the needs of residents and neighboring environmental plans should be considered from a communality standpoint.

STJ(Superconducting Tunnel Junction) technique offers next generation photon detectors exhibiting high energy resolution, high quantum efficiency and photon counting ability over the broad wavelength range from X-ray to NIR. We report the succcess in fabrication of Ta/Al-AlOx-Al/Ta and Nb/Al-AlOx-Al/Nb micro structure deposited on sapphire substrates using various techniques including UV photolithography, DC Sputtering, RIE, and PECVD technique. The characterization experiment was undertaken in an Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator at an operating temperature below 50mK. The details of experimental investigations for electrical characterization of STJ of $20\sim80{\mu}m$ in side-lengths are discussed. The measured I-V curves were used to derive The detector performance indicators such as energy gap, energy resolution, normal resistance, normal resistivity, dynamic resistance, dynamic resistivity, and quality factor.

A prototype of the GMT FSM has been developed to acquire and to enhance the key technology - mirror fabrication and tip-tilt actuation. The ellipsoidal off-axis mirror has been designed, analyzed, and fabricated from light-weighting to grinding, polishing, and figuring of the mirror surface. The mirror was tested by using an interferometer together with CGHs, which revealed the surface error of 13.7 nm rms in the diameter of 1030 mm. The SCOTS test was employed to independently validate the test results. It measured the surface error to be 17.4 nm rms in the diameter of 1010 mm. Both tests show the optical surface of the FSMP mirror within the required value of 20 nm rms surface error.

This research intends to make a model of space development in Korea as a sectoral innovation system. The main contents include a character analysis of the elements of three low levels of the space development innovation system, including governance (the main agent and cooperation relationship of which the center is a research institute supported by government), resources (financial resources and human resources), and the diffusion of research results. It is important to grasp the factors that bring about technological innovation of industrial sectors to produce technological innovation policy. Technology innovation policy should thus be formulated for specific, individual sectors, and not all sectors.
