The idea of creating an International Space Exploitation Agency (tentative title: hereinafter referred to ISEA) is only my academic and theoretical opinion. It is necessary for us to establish ISEA as an international organization for the efficient and rapid exploitation of natural resources in the moon and other celestial bodies. The creation of ISEA as a new international organization is based on the Article 11, 5 and Article 18 of the 1979 Moon Agreement. In order to create it as a preliminary procedure, it needs to make the Draft for the Convention on the Establishment an ISEA among the space-faring countries. The main contents of this paper is composed of (1) introduction, (2) joint exploitation of the natural resources (Heliumn-3, etc.) in the moon and ISEA, (3) activities for the exploitation of moon and other celestial bodies by the space-faring powers, (4) legal problems and Solution for the exploitation and mining rights of the natural resources in the moon, mars and celestial bodies, (5) procedure of creating an ISEA, (6) the principal points that need to be included in the draft for the ISEA convention, (7) conclusion. The creation of an ISEA would lead to a strengthening of the cooperation among the States deemed essential by the global community towards joint undertakings in space and would act as a catalyst for the efforts on the exploitation of the natural resources moon, mars, Venus, Mercury and other celestial bodies and allow resources, technology, manpower and finances to be centrally managed in an independent fashion to the benefit of the space-faring countries. It is desirable and necessary for us to create ISEA in order to promote cooperation in the field of space policy, law, science technology and industry etc. among the space-faring countries. The creation of the ISEA will be promoted the international cooperation among the space-faring countries in exploration and exploitations of the natural resources in the moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury and other celestial bodies. Finally, it should be noted that the political drive will be necessary not only to set up the organization ISEA, but also study a subsequent measures. It is also necessary for us to create the ISEA in order to develop the space industry, to strengthen friendly relations and to promote research cooperation among the space-faring countries based on the new ideology and creative ideas. If the heads (president or prime minister) of the space super-powers including the UNCOPUOS will be agreed to establish ISEA at a summit conference, 1 believe that it is possible to establish an ISEA in the near future.

적외선 분광 관측은 상대적으로 온도가 낮은 태양계 천체를 연구하는데 있어서 매우 강력한 관측 기술이다. 특히 근적외선 및 중적외선 분광선은 태양계 천체의 지표 및 대기의 성질에 대해서 많은 정보를 주는 파장대이다. 따라서 우주탐사선 뿐만 아니라 지상 망원경으로도 근적외선 및 중적외선 영역의 분광관측은 지속적으로 관측이 수행되고 있는 영역이다. 이렇게 획득된 분광선은 모델링의 과정을 통하여 천체의 구성성분, 생성 과정 및 생성 시기, 물리, 화학적 진화 등을 연구할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 개발 중인 3~5 micron 중적외선 분광기 지상모델은 향후 태양계 천체들에서 물 또는 얼음을 찾을 수 있는 가능성이 있는 파장대이며, 또한 국내에서 개발된 적이 없는 파장대이다. 본 연구에서는 우주탐사선에 탑재된 중적외선 분광기에 의해 관측된 지표를 가진 태양계 천체 (수성, 금성, 화성, 타이탄, 혜성, 소행성)들의 연구 사례를 조사하였다. 이 자료는 본 연구에서 개발하고자 하는 중적외선 분광기 지상모델의 완성 단계에서 지표를 가진 태양계 천체, 특히 달에 대한 과학적 임무를 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대하고 있다.

This study is intended to analyze unscientific concepts shared by high school students regarding planet movement; produce a learning program to address these concepts; and investigate what impact the application of the program to planet observation and classroom lessons may have on their grasp of planet movement and their attitudes toward science at large. Application of the learning program developed in this study to teaching and learning courses led to the discovery that the program is a useful tool to enhance students' understanding of planet movement. These results suggest that a variety of programs including planet movement activities that may keep students interested in science should be continued. The above study results may be utilized in geoscience teaching and learning. It is deemed necessary to develop better learning programs and study teaching and learning methods regarding not only planet movement but also other spheres.

The exploration of the solar system is carried out through various payloads, and accordingly, many research results are emerging. We tried to apply deep-learning as a method of studying the bodies of solar system. Unlike Earth observation satellite data, the data of solar system differ greatly from celestial bodies to probes and to payloads of each probe. Therefore, it may be difficult to apply it to various data with the deep-learning model, but we expect that it will be able to reduce human errors or compensate for missing parts. We have implemented a model that detects craters on the lunar surface. A model was created using the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) image and the provided shapefile as input values, and applied to the lunar surface image. Although the result was not satisfactory, it will be applied to the image of the permanently shadow regions of the Moon, which is finally acquired by ShadowCam through image pre-processing and model modification. In addition, by attempting to apply it to Ceres and Mercury, which have similar the lunar surface, it is intended to suggest that deep-learning is another method for the study of the solar system.
