Abstract

Recently, a validation research of maneuvering and attitude control logics of a spacecraft under a ground condition is getting increase by using operating simulators with compact and precise components. For that, a cold gas propulsion system is generally used for maneuvering and attitude control of spacecraft ground simulators for its simplicity and a high reliability. In the present study, major design parameters of a cold gas propulsion system are derived to meet mission requirements based on conceptual design results of a simulator. And additionally, commercial components with proper specifications are selected for system assembly.

최근에 우주비행체의 기동 및 자세제어 로직을 검증하기 위해 소형화 및 정밀화된 부품들을 사용하여 지상에서 시뮬레이터의 구동을 통해 검증하는 연구가 활발하게 진행되는 추세이다. 지상 환경에서 우주비행체 시뮬레이터의 기동 및 자세제어를 위해 일반적으로 구성이 간단하고 신뢰도가 높은 냉가스 추진시스템이 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 우주비행체 지상시뮬레이터의 냉가스 추진시스템 개념설계 결과로서 임무 요구조건에 부합하는 주요 설계 파라미터를 도출하였으며, 전체 시스템 구성을 위한 적절한 사양의 상용부품을 선정하였다.
