KARI studied data interface of Space Applications for developing Space Experimental Instrument in International Space Station, designed, and manufactured the UDIS (International Space Station Universal Data Interface simulator) according to requirements of the data interface. This paper explains the design and implementation of UDIS for space application. UDIS is the instrument which simulate to interface the data from ISS to experiment module, payload and habitation module and use the development of a experiment system in the space. This simulator will be used to the GSE (Ground Support Equipment) for test of experiment system. By realization of the simulator, we ensure data interface skills for a manned-space data communication system.

Increase of space debris makes low earth orbit(LEO) environment more complex day by day and space situation Awareness(SSA) is becoming more important. As an essential part of SSA, space object surveillance and tracking is studied by many countries including America and Europe. And radar system forms the backbone of an space surveillance and tracking. Currently, Korea operates many LEO satellites like KOMPSAT but does not have dedicated radar systems which provide collision surveillance between satellite and space debris. Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) NARO space center operates launch-vehicle tracking radar system in GOHEUNG and JEJU, respectively. In this paper, we describe developing operation concept to track International Space Station(ISS) using NARO radar and results of tracking. Then, we describe ISS orbit determination using radar tracking data. Lastly, orbit determination result is compares with TLE for analyzing effectiveness of orbit determination.

The purpose of this paper is to study about the legal system of the Inter-governmental Agreement on the International Space Station('IGA') which was signed on Jan 29,1998. This paper is divided into three main parts ; 1) a review of ISS, 2) the principal rules of IGA, 3) the legal system of IGA. First, the paper draws an outline of ISS by dealing with (1) the definition, characteristics, and functions of ISS, (2) the composition of ISS. Second, the paper explains the principal rules of IGA which include (1) the rule of 'Partnership' and (2) the rule of 'Peaceful Purpose'. Third, the legal system of IGA is studied by looking at five different aspects: (1) the registration system, (2) a general jurisdiction, criminal jurisdiction and a control of jurisdiction, (3) intellectual property rights and other rights beside intellectual property, (4) cross-waiver of liability and several elements in compensation of damages, (5) the dispute resolution. IGA contains new contents and applications of legal system which was not included in the former space law. Therefore IGA will work as a model law for international cooperation of space development. It is important for us to study the matter of ISS, because disputes on the ISS are left solely to contracting parties although IGA will regulate overall situations. The renewed IGA is even more important because all the space development is expected to take place on an international cooperation basis. On the basis of this paper, all the important parts of IGA is expected to be further studied so that the research can contribute to the establishment of the legal system of space development in Korea.

본 논문에서는 국제우주정거장 (International Space Station; ISS) 개발을 위한 필수 요건인 데이터 인터페이스 기술을 습득하고자, 국제우주정거장에 부착되는 탑재모듈 (Payload)과 인터페이스를 위한 요구사항을 분석/설계하였으며, 이를 검증하기 위한 시뮬레이터의 개발결과를 소개한다. 국제우주정거장과 탑재모듈간의 데이터 인터페이스를 정의하고 구현함으로써, 추후 여러 가지 탑재모듈 개발 시 표준 데이터 인터페이스에 대한 기술을 확보할 수 있으며, 탑재모듈의 특성이나 국제우주정거장의 구체적인 기능에 대한 추가 연구를 통해 탑재모듈 개발 ETB (Electrical Test Bed) 로서의 기능도 수행할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The onset of fire on the International Space Station (ISS) is a critical problem that can threaten the life of crew members onboard and thus instantaneous fire detection and extinguishment technology has been considered as one of the most important aspects in the ISS operation. In the present study, a numerical analysis was performed to better understanding of the characteristics of smoke behaviors and detection in a pressurized module of the ISS using the NIST Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS). Numerical results indicate that the smoke flow patterns under zero-gravity condition are clearly different from those under normal gravity condition. In addition, the results obtained from numerical simulations coupled with the PM internal flows are expected to provide basic and useful information in designing the microgravity fire detection devices and establishing in fire response protocol for astronauts or the crew members.

국제우주정거장 (International Space Station; ISS) 프로그램을 통하여 미국을 비롯한 15개 참여 국가들은 우주공간의 과학 연구 및 산업적 활용을 위한 전초기지를 만들어 나가고 있다. ISS에는 미세중력 (Microgravity) 환경을 이용하여 각종 실험을 수행하기 위한 공간으로 총 6개의 가압모듈 (Pressurized Module; PM)이 설치되었거나 설치될 예정이다. 현재 설치되어 있는 PM으로는 2001년 2월 ISS에 부착된 미국 NASA의 Destiny 실험모듈이 있으며, 향후 미국의 Centrifuge Accommodation Module (CAM), 일본의 Japanese Experiment Module- Pressurized Module (JEM-PM), 유럽연합의 Columbus Module, 러시아의 Research Module 등이 설치될 예정이다.

We analyzed the result of sensory evaluation for the 10 items of Korean Space Foods performed by Korean astronaut in ISS. Although there were low score items because of the individual preference difference, Most items received the high score. Also, we can confirm the possibility of the internationalization of the Korean Space Foods because international astronauts gave the high valuation. we should develop the various space foods and food package which are easy to use in space for the human exploration in the future.

The International Space Station (ISS) is being jointly developed by the following 16 international partners: The United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, Brazil, and the 11 member states of the European Space Agency. Assembly of ISS is a large-scale international program which commenced in November 1998, and is expected to conclude in 2006. Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) is making effort to take part in the development of Payload Support & Interface Module (PSIM) for ISS. When success is achieved with ISS PSIM development project, Korea will have the rights to utilize external attached payload sites and research activities on ISS. Therefore preparation for the utilization of ISS EXPRESS pallet, JEM-EF, and Columbus-EPF need to be made. This paper shows the investigation results of the external attached payload sites for ISS and the application field of space and Earth science.
