One of the purposes of space exploration is to be able to utilize the unlimited natural resources in the universe. For this purpose, plans for lunar and mars bases have been proposed by leading nations. In order to construct bases and search for resources, it is necessary to employ and develop rovers for surface navigation and exploration. With proper knowledge about Lunar surface, technology for lunar rover development can be established without serious obstacles, since robot technology for rover development has been well prepared in Korea. In this paper, lunar rovers and mars rovers developed and planned by other countries as well as the current status of robot technology in Korea have been analyzed.

국내의 우주개발진흥기본 계획에 의거하여 2020년 달 궤도선을 시작으로 2025년에는 달착륙선을 개발하여 달탐사에 참여하는 계획이 수립되었다. 달 탐사선이 발사되어 궤도에 진입하면 지상의 기지국과 명령/상태신호로 통신한다. 이러한 무선통신은 국제기구에서 제시된 주파수 스펙트럼을 기준으로 선정되어야 외부 시스템에 영향을 주거나 간섭을 받지 않는 안정적으로 무선통신을 수행할 수 있다. 주파수 스펙트럼 확보는 중요하여 달 탐사선이 발사되는 최소 7년 전부터 필요 주파수 대역을 선정하여 국제기구에 등록하여 허가를 받아야 한다. 본 논문에서는 앞으로 발사하게 되는 달 탐사선이 운용할 수 있는 주파수 대역 선정에 적절한 자료를 제공하기 위해 국제전기통신(ITU) 우주응용분야 보고서를 참조하여 Deep space 주파수 대역별 성능을 비교한 내용을 제시하였다.

주. 사우디 ㆍ아라비아에서 남극의 빙산을 사들여 음료수와 용수로 쓸 계획을 추진하고 있다는 보도가 있다. 장구한 세월동안 오직얼음과 침묵속에 깊이 잠겨있던 남극대륙이 열강의 탐사대의 강력한 도전으로 그 베일이 하나 둘 벗겨짐에 따라 우리와 남극와의 관계가 점점더 두터워가고 있음을 깨닫게 된다. 남극에 가장 근접해있고 남극대륙의 약 절반에 달하는 광윤한 지역에 대한 영토권을 주장하고 있는 호주가 근착한 "Australia Now"자에서 호주 남극탐사기지를 중심으로 우리에게는 아직 생소한 남극대륙을 흥미있게 소개하고 있어 이를 옮겼다. 과학적인 기사라는데 관심이 가고 또 다른 이유가 있다면 삼복더위에 납량의 선물이 될까 하는 생각에서 서둘러 싣는다

Since the 1st space race between the United States and Soviet Union during the 1960s, we are competing 2nd space race to occupy the Lunar territory. Since the United States announced to construct the Lunar Base by the end of 2020, ED, Japan, and China launched Lunar explorers successfully. Even India is planning to launch a Lunar explorer in 2008. Korean government also announced that the Korea will launch first Lunar explorer in 2020. In this research Lunar mission trajectory design which will be fundamental data for Lunar mission with variable low thrust and Lunar mission trajectory which has a similar mission specification to SMART-1 are presented.

The Global Expansion Roadmap published by the International Space Exploration Coordination Group, which is organized by space agencies around the world, presents future lunar exploration guidance and stresses a lunar habitat program to utilize lunar resources. The Moon attracts attention as an outpost for deep space exploration. Simulating lunar surface environments is required to evaluate the performances of various equipment for future lunar surface missions. In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to simulate high vacuum pressure and cryogenic temperature of the permanent shadow regions in the lunar south pole, which is a promising candidate for landing and outpost construction. The establishment of an efficient dirty thermal vacuum chamber (DTVC) operation process has never been presented. One-dimensional ground cooling tests were conducted with various vacuum pressures with the Korean Lunar Simulant type-1 (KLS-1) in DTVC. The most advantageous vacuum pressure was found to be 30-80 mbar, considering the cooling efficiency and equipment stability. However, peripheral cooling is also required to simulate a cryogenic for not sublimating ice in a high vacuum pressure. In this study, an efficient peripheral cooling operation process was proposed by applying the frost ratio concept.

Over the last decade, the competition for space development has accelerated. The world's largest space agencies are aiming toward long-term lunar exploration and manned missions. For sustainable and safe lunar exploration, construction of infrastructures that include various habitats is essential. However, transporting construction materials from Earth for lunar base construction is extremely expensive. Thus, technologies for manufacturing construction materials using in-situ resources from the moon should be advanced. The sintering techniques have been actively studied using lunar soil. In this review, five sintering technologies, including radiation, solar, spark plasma, laser, and microwave sintering, for manufacturing construction materials using lunar soil are introduced, and future research is discussed.

The heat of evaporation (cold energy) of LNG is the energy consumed in the production of LNG. This energy amounts to 14% of the NG. In Pyungtak LNG terminal, it is about 96 MW in 1993. In order to utilize the cold energy, the cold power generation systems are investigated: The Rankine cycle using the low temperature energy, the partial expansion cycle using the pressure energy, and the Linde process which is a combined cycle of the Rankine and the partial direct expansion cycle. The commercial simulator, ASPEN Plus, is used. The conceptual design data are obtained from the current facilities of the Pyungtak LNG terminal. The performances of three systems are evaluated. The amount of electric power ranges iron 3 MW to 6MW. The optimum energy efficiency is about 37%. The optimum design conditions are obtained for the partial direct expansion (PDE) cycle. The performance of the PDE cycle is supposed to be comparable to that of the Rankine cycle if the areas of the total heat exchanger of the both cycle are equal.

Small cells such as pico or femto cells are promising as a solution to cope with higher traffic explosion and the large number of users. However, the users within small cells are likely to suffer severe inter-cell interference (ICI) from neighboring base stations (BSs). To tackle this, several papers suggest BS transmit power on/off control algorithms which increase edge user throughput. However, these algorithms require centralized coordinator and have high computational complexity. This paper makes a contribution towards presenting fully distributed and low complex joint BS on/off control and user scheduling algorithm (FDA) by selecting on/off pattern of BSs. Throughput the extensive simulations, we verify the performance of our algorithm as follows: (i) Our FDA provides better throughput performance of cell edge users by 170% than the algorithm without the ICI management. (ii) Our FDA catches up with the performance of optimal algorithm by 88-96% in geometric average throughput and sufficiently small gap in edge user throughput.
