Track shoes improve the off-road driving ability of tanks. The strength of the track shoe body directly affects the driving ability of tanks, self-propelled artillery, and armored vehicles. In this study, the design technique for track shoe body was investigated. To select the optimal design of track shoe body, three track shoe body models were suggested and compared. Tensile strength was calculated using computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis. Compressive tests were conducted using the original tank sprocket because sprocket compression is critical to the lifespan of the track shoe body. As a result, one track shoe body design was selected and the process of track shoe body design was described.

We consider the motion of the subsystems as separate bodies as well as the entire satellite for the attitude and orbit control of a communication satellite by multi-body modeling technique. Thus, the system, can be applied to a general communication satellite as well as a specific communication satellite, i. e. Koreasat I,II. The simulation results can be viewed by two-dimensional graphics and three-dimensional animation. The graphical user interface(GUI) makes its usage much simpler. We have simulated a couple of scenarios for Koreasat I,II which are being operated as geostationary communication satellites to verify the system performance.

이 연구는 광학센서의 시선벡터 최적배치와 이에 대한 궤도요소의 영향을 다루고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 광학센서의 최적 배치 결정에 있어 궤도 요소의 영향을 직관적으로 판단할 수 있는 체계적인 결과를 제시하는 것이다. 위성에 탑재된 광학 센서들은 지구를 관측하고자 하는 목적을 가진 지구 관측 센서를 제외하고는 임무기간 동안 최대한 활용도를 높이기 위해 가능한 한 위성 몸체나 지구와 태양에 의해 방해를 받지 않고 목표 천체를 측정할 수 있도록 광축의 시선 벡터를 배치시켜야 한다. 이 연구는 광학센서의 최적 배치와 위성의 궤도요소의 상관관계를 알아보고, 광학센서의 최적배치 시선벡터 방향의 결정에 미치는 궤도 요소의 변화 영향성을 해석하였다.

After spacecraft is separated from the launch vehicle, first of all spacecraft deploy the solar array. Solar array deployment is one of the key factors deciding the success of the spacecraft mission. Therefore, It is necessary to predict the solar array deployment motion and check the safety through calculating the load on the tape hinges of solar array using the deployment analysis in the initial design phase. In this paper, solar array deployment analysis is performed by multi-body dynamics simulation program. From the analysis results, assessment on the safety also is carried out. In addition, hinge characteristic test is fulfilled to find out hinge characteristic, and is applied to the deployment analysis.

Because solar panels of normal satellites are faced to the sun, the power generation by the Earth Albedo is almost neglected in satellite's power analysis. However, many cubesats don't have deployable solar panels and in this case the Earth Albedo is not negligible because solar panels are in six sides facing different directions. In this paper, we calculated satellite's power generation by the Earth Albedo. We divided the Earth's surface into grids based on polar coordinate system. We modeled power generation in each solar cell by reflection on these grids. We simulated 1 U cubesat which flies in sun synchronous orbit and 500 km altitude so that we calculated satellite's power generation by the Earth Albedo.
