Koreasat-3 was successfully launched by an Ariane IV launch vehicle on September 5, 1999. Although the primary purpose of the satellite is to replace Koreasat-l, it also can extend its communication service coverage over the Asia-Pacific region. A spacecraft is subjected to severe dynamic loads during launch period. To verify the safety of spacecraft under the launch environment, dynamic tests should be performed such as sine sweep, acoustic and separation shock tests. This paper presents the launch environment test results of Koreasat-3. A total of 188 acceleration responses was measured and compared with the design requirements of components and spacecraft. Dynamic characteristic change was also investigated by comparing between low-level pre/post vibration results. From the review of test results, it is concluded that Koreasat-3 was designed and manufactured with the margin of safety enough to survive the launch loads of Ariane IV.

대한민국의 다목적 실용위성(아리랑 2호, KOMPSAT 2)가 2006년 7월 28일 금요일 러시아 플레체스크 우주발사장에서 발사되었다. 대한민국에서는 그동안 우리별 위성 시리즈, 과학위성 시리즈, 무궁화 위성 시리즈, 다목적 위성 시리즈, 과학 로켓 시리즈 및 우주발사체(KSLV-1)를 개발했거나 개발 중이다. 이러한 과정은 국가우주개발중장기 기본계획에 의하여 진행되고 있는데, 원하는 기간 내에 합리적 비용으로 목표를 이루고자하는 상황에서 우리가 본 받을만한 국가를 선정하여 모델로 삼는 것이 타당할 것이다. 이러한 필요 가운데 비교적 벤치마킹 대상으로 삼을만한 국가로 이스라엘이 부상하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비교적 잘 알려지지 않았지만 우리가 벤치마킹의 대상으로 고려하는 이스라엘의 우주개발 역사를 살펴봄으로써, 우리나라의 우주개발 분야에 참고가 되고자 한다.

Electronic equipment used in satellites are demanding extremely high reliability, so they should be designed to have immunity for some critical faults by using redundancy component. Generally, Communication satellites are assigned to meet the 15 years mission lifetime, of the analysis about faults must be performed to electronic equipments of satellite. This paper is a summary of the fault tolerance design research of command processor, the improvement of reliability and trade-off study of fault tolerance design result. The reliability prediction value of the satellite component used in this research was taken from Koreasat 3 and Kompsat 1. It is important to perform many trade-off studies for fault tolerance design, especially to choose the most proper fault tolerance method for the specified fault scenario.

To relieve congestion in the current system of intercity transportation, the Korea decided in 1990 to construct a high-speed railroad between Seoul and Busan and it is now in operation. This new mode of transportation significantly cut travel time between major cities and a trip from Seoul to the southeastern port of Busan. Since the KTX opening, average daily passenger numbers on both the Gyeongbu and Honam lines have increased about 1.3 fold over 2003 levels. As of December 2004, the KTX trains are carrying about 81,000 people a day. On KTX routes, the daily number of airline passengers dropped. Express long-distance bus traffic also dropped by 20% to 30%, while that on short-distance routes (100km or less) increased by about 20%. These figures clearly indicate that the Korean transportation network is becoming railroad-centric. However, the number of KTX passengers is fewer than anticipated possibly due to the Korean economic downturn and the operation of the KTX will leave many existing Saemaul and Mugunghwa train sets idle, which will be put into operation for areas, not covered by the KTX. When all the existing major lines have been electrified, more high-speed rail services will be phased in using direct connections to maximize operational efficiency. And also, the dual management by KTX and conventional rail will be regarded as the promotion of the benefit of the public.

The geostationary satellite propulsion system has thermistors which can measure liquid propellant temperature at tanks, pipes and etc. In the satellite propulsion system with several tanks, the propellant in the tanks is moved by temperature change and this temperature pattern is constant. In this paper, the temperature change pattern of KOREASAT 1 propulsion system is compared and the prediction study of pressurant inflow using temperature change of geostationary satellite propulsion system is described.

이 연구는 Ka대역 위성 HDTV 방송 서비스를 제공하기 위해 강우강도에 따른 전송방안을 제안하였다. Ka대역은 Ku대역에 비하여 강우에 취약하기 때문에 이를 안정적으로 활용하기 위해서는 강우감쇠를 효과적으로 경감시키는 기술개발이 필수적이다. 유럽위성방송 표준인 DVB-S2에서는 강우감쇠에 대한 대처방안으로 채널상황에 따라 여러 변조방식과 채널 부호 율을 이용하는 적응형 변복조 방식을 지원하고 있으며, 이 논문에서는 DVB-S2기반의 전송방식과 Ka대역 중계기의 규격을 적용하여 강우강도에 따른 전송방안을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 ITU-R P.618-9 강우감쇠 추정 모델과 기상청에서 측정한 1998년부터 2007년까지의 최근 10년간 국내 주요지역의 30분 누적강우량을 이용하여 지역별 강우 감쇠값을 도출하였고 강우강도와 시간 율 관계분석을 통하여 강우강도에 따른 강우감쇠 값을 획득하였다. 획득한 강우감쇠 값을 무궁화 위성 3호의 링크 설계에 적용하여 강우강도에 따른 적용 가능한 전송방안을 도출하였다. 이 연구를 바탕으로 강우의 지역적 편이가 높은 우리나라의 강우 특성을 유연하게 반영하여 각 지역에 맞는 적응적인 전송 방식을 고려할 수 있다.

In this paper, a double gimbal is used for roll/yaw attitude control of spacecraft and two feedback controllers are designed. One is a PD controller of no phase difference between roll and yaw control input. The other is a PD controller with a phase lag compensator about the yaw control input. The phase lag compensator is designed a first order system and a lag parameter is designed for the control of yaw angle. There are two case simulations for each of controllers; constant disturbance torques and initial errors of nutation. We obtain the results through simulations that a steady-state error and a rising time of yaw angle are developed by the compensator. In this paper, simulation parameters use the values of KOREASAT 1.

In this paper, the development of the extended kalman filter(EKF) which is based on Koreasat-3 bus system is introduced and the design result is shown through the simulation. Especially to determine the filter gains for accurate estimation, there is assumed that initial estimated parameters are not changed. But although the satellite performs the attitude control by 2Hz, it is verified that the EKF is running rightly using the changed filter gains. Also some cases are considered using the simulation : with each bias for 4-axis gyro and with gyro each axis failure. It is verified that the designed filter can be used as the back-up about gyro failure.

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.

Mugunghwa Satellite N0.1 is fired after operation was 13 years. The establishment of communication satellites, as well as Internet service backbone network the country, including satellite broadcasting services to provide multimedia services to general users and contribute to have a big role. High-speed Internet Access Network was expanded and satellite Internet subscribers Access Network rapidly decreasing, but it also a difficult situation, satellite communications network is still important as a component is located. Launched the first communication satellite to be launched and operated several commercial communications satellite, but satellite communications services and the pace of the system is in place. In this paper VSAT, satellite communications service to provide a service based on the status and problems of the status of operating system and will present alternative policies to solve.
