Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) is developing a Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite I(KOMPSAT-I) which accommodates Electro-Optical Camera(EOC), Ocean Color Imager(OCI), Space Physics Sensor(SPS) for cartography, ocean color monitoring, and space environment monitoring respectively. The satellite has the weight of about 500 kg and is operated on the sun synchronized orbit with the altitude of 685km, the orbit period of 98 minutes, and the orbit revisit time of 28days. The satellite will be launched in the third quarter of 1999 and its lifetime is more than 3 years. EOC has cartography mission to provide images for the production of scale maps, including digital elevation models, of Korea from a remote earth view in the KOMPSAT orbit. EOC collects panchromatic imagery with the ground sample distance(GSD) of 6.6m and the swath width of 15km at nadir through the visible spectral band of 510-730 nm. EOC scans the ground track of 800km per orbit by push-broom and body pointed method. OCI mission is worldwide ocean color monitoring for the study of biological oceanography. OCI is a multispectral imager generating 6 color ocean images with and <1km GSD by whisk-broom scanning method. OCI is designed to provide on-orbit spectral band selectability in the spectral range from 400nm to 900nm. The color images are collected through 6 primary spectral bands centered at 443, 490, 510, 555, 670, 865nm or 6 spectral bands selected in the spectral range via ground commands after launch. SPS consists of High Energy Particle Detector(HEPD) and Ionosphere Measurement Sensor(IMS). HEPD has mission to characterize the low altitude high energy particle environment and to study the effects of radiation environment on microelectronics. IMS measures densities and temperature of electrons in the ionosphere and monitors the ionospheric irregularities in KOMPSAT orbit.

The importance of satellite data for numerous applications is stressed by the fact that many countries have given the development of space technologies very high priority. Among these, Korea has established a medium-term space development strategy to promote space development both on a scientific as well as commercial level. As part of this strategy, the first operational earth-observation, multi-purpose satellite(KOMPSAT-1) was launched successfully in December, 1999. The Electro-Optical Camera (EOC) on board of KOMPSAT-1 supplies panchromatic images with a spatial resolution of 6.6m Until April, 2004, it collected over 150.000 images of the Korean Peninsula and the rest of the world. This paper examines the use of remote sensing data to analyze urban growth in the city of Daejeon from 1960 to 2003. By using visual interpretation, land use maps are created.

The ultimate goal of satellite development is to use information obtained from satellites. Therefore, national-levelsatellite development program should include not only hardware development, but also infrastructure establishment and application technology development for information utilization. Until now, Korea has developed various satellites and has been very useful in weather and maritime surveillance as well as various disasters. In particular, KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-purpose Satellite) images have been used extensively in agriculture, forestry and marine fields based on high spatial resolution, and has been widely used in research related to precision mapping and change detection. This special issue aims to introduce a variety of recent studies conducted using KOMPSAT optical and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images and to disseminate related satellite image application technologies to the public sector.

다목적 실용위성인 아리랑 위성 2호는 각각의 기능을 수행하는 3개의 프로세서들로 분산되어 있으며 이들 프로세서들은 데이터 버스인 MID-STD-1553을 통해 프로세서간 통신을 수행하게 되며, 지상과의 통신을 위해서는 CCSDS(Consultative Committee for Space Data)[1] 표준 규격을 채택하여 사용하고 있다. 이 표준 규격에 맞추어 지상에서는 위성으로 명령들을 보내게 되며 각각의 3개 프로세서 상에서 수행중인 탑재 소프트웨어 중 명령처리 소프트웨어에서는 이들 명령들을 각각의 명령어 유형에 따라 처리하게 된다. 지상으로부터 전송되어진 명령들은 3개 프로세서 중 OBC(On-Board Computer)를 통해 처리되어진 후 1553B Data Bus를 통해 다른 2개 프로세서로 전송되어진다. 본 논문에서는 아리랑 위성에서 처리되는 명령들의 유령과 처리 방법을 설명한다.

During the mission operation time, it is very important to estimate the spacecraft propellant remaining as accurately as possible. This is because the quantity of propellant is related directly to how long the satellite can be operated ín orbit. There are two different methods for spacecraft propellant gauging; the PVT method and the book-keeping method. This paper describes the characteristics and applications of these methods using the flight operation data of KOMPSAT-1. Additionally, propellant consumption rates in delta-V maneuvering and each attitude control submode are analyzed according to spacecraft operation modes. The earth search submode shows the highest propellant consumption rate.

The space Debris laser ranging system is called to be a definite type of satellite laser ranging system that measures the distance to satellites. It is a system that performs POD (Precise Orbit Determination) by measuring time of flight by firing a laser. Distance precision can be measured in mm-level units, and it is the most precise system among existing systems. Currently, KASI has built SLR in Sejong and Geochang, and utilized SLR data to verify the precise orbits of the STSAT-2C and KOMASAT-5. In recent years, due to the fall or collision of space debris, its satellites have been threatened, and in terms of security, laser tracking of space objects is receiving great interest in order to protect their own space assets and protect the safety of the people. In this paper, a 1.5m-class main mirror was applied for the system design of a multipurpose laser tracking system that considers satellite laser ranging and space object laser tracking. System preliminary performance analysis was performed based on Link Budget analysis considering specifications of major components.

우리나라 최초의 다목적 실용위성인 아리랑 1호는 지난 2003년 2월 21일부로 목표 하였던 임무운영기간 3년을 완수하였으며, 현재는 연장 운영을 하고 있다. 당초 목표했던 3년의 임무 수명을 뛰어 넘어 향후 2∼3년은 더 운영할 수 것으로 예측하고 있다. 따라서 위성체의 각 서브시스템의 상황을 분석하고 발생한 문제에 대해 신속히 대처하는 것이 중요하다. 아리랑 1호는 크게 탑재체, 자세제어계(AOCS), 전력계(EPS), 추진계(PS), 열제어계(TCS), 원격측정명령계(TC&R)의 Subsystem으로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 발사부터 목표 임무운영기간까지 서브시스템 중 원격측정명령계의 상태를 분석 정리하였으며, 초과운영에 있는 현 시점의 상태를 정리하였다.
