We developed a coin cell battery using high-strength carbon fiber and glass fiber, taking a preliminary step toward creating a battery that supports structural loads and stores energy, with potential applications in satellite structures. High-strength fiber-based electrodes and electrolytes were fabricated and applied to coin cells to evaluate their electrochemical performance. Consequently, the discharge capacities under continuous charge/discharge cycles and high discharge rates of 2 C-rate were determined to be 122.9 and 103.5 mAh/g, respectively, indicating that high-strength fibers can replace conventional battery components. Although current performance is lower than that of commercial batteries, this research has demonstrated significant potential as foundational work for multi-functional energy storage devices and is expected to contribute to the development of structural batteries for satellite applications.

The camera electronics in the KOMPSAT-3 payload provides the several control clocks in order to move the charges, which are converted from the light in the pixel, in the vertical and horizontal direction. Generally, the control clocks depend on the CCD internal design in the system. The KOMPSAT-3 payload uses the CCD controlled by 3-phase vertical clocks and 4-phase timing. The camera generates the various clocks such as the vertical clocks, the horizontal clocks, the summing clocks, the reset clocks and so on. The vertical clocks are deeply related to the camera performance and synchronized with satellite scan-rate even though they are relatively slow. Also, it gives the horizontal clocks without distortion under the very fast pixel-rate. This paper shows the design and simulation of the CCD clocks driver for the KOMPSAT-3 payload.

In this paper, a method for evaluating optical-system performance and an athermal structure through thermal analysis of the Korsch telescope was studied. In the case of an optical system having a complex asymmetrical structure, there is a limit to implementing the satellite structure by applying the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in the optical-design software, so it is difficult to evaluate the performance of the optical system against temperature changes. To solve this problem, using mechanical design software all length changes were implemented in all structures that affect the optical system according to temperature, and the value of the change in distance between optical components due to temperature change was organized. Also, the values of changes in shape and thickness of the optical components against temperature changes are organized in the optical-design software. All changes derived from both software packages were applied in the optical software to evaluate the performance of the optical system. As a result, it was found that the MTF for a spatial resolution of 71.4 cycles/mm was maintained at more than 25% in the range from 9 ℃ to 33 ℃. In addition, the performance of the optical system applying the improved structure was evaluated, by finding the structure that had the most influence on the optical system's performance change, and deriving an athermal structure to reduce the effect. As a result, it was found that the MTF for a resolution of 71.4 cycles/mm was maintained at over 67% in the range from 9 ℃ to 33 ℃.

Whole composite structure small class (150kg) satellite, STSAT-3, was initially developed in Korea. The structure does have aluminum frames that support the structure, and it is composed of only composite sandwich panels. A number of electronic boxes and mechanical apparatus will be shielded within the compartments built up by the composite panels. This study focused on the random vibration responses of the satellite. For this objective, vibration tests and analyses have been successfully performed with respect to STM (structure and thermal model) of the satellite. Additionally, through the experiment and theoretical analyses, the both results' accuracy was verified by comparison each other.

한국천문연구원은 차세대소형위성 1호의 근적외선 영상분광기 NISS (Near-infrared Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history) 탑재체를 개발하여 2017년 6월 30일에 최종 비행모델을 납품하였고, 이 발표는 탑재체 NISS 구조체의 비행모델 개발 결과를 보고한다. NISS는 0.9 - 2.5um (R~20) 근적외선 파장에서 관측을 해야 하기 때문에, 구조체의 배경잡음을 없애기 위해서 200K까지 passive cooling으로 냉각되며, H2RG 검출기는 소형 냉동기에 의해 약 88K에서 운영된다. NISS 구조체의 passive cooling을 효율적으로 수행하기 위해서 방열판, Kevlar 지지대, MLI, 표면제어용 필름 등을 조립하였고, 실제 지상 시험을 통해서 그 성능을 확인하였다. NISS 구조체는 최종 시스템 조립 과정에서 전자부 하네스 조립을 함께 수행했으며, 온도 모니터링 센서를 부착하고 소형 냉동기 피드백 온도를 반복 시험을 통해서 결정하였다. NISS 구조체는 미러 및 렌즈를 지지하는 광기계부를 함께 포함하기 때문에 발사 및 우주환경에서 광학 성능을 유지하기 위한 설계를 거쳐서 제작 되었으며, 최종 시스템 검교정 시험, 진동 및 열진공 시험을 통해서 그 성능을 확인하였다. NISS를 탑재한 차세대소형위성 1호는 2018년 상반기에 미국의 Falcon 9 발사체에 실려서 발사될 예정이다.

The Korean Military Satellite Communication System (KMILSATCOM) is composed of military payload of KOREASAT 5 and military satellite terminals. The military satellite terminals communicate with each other in satellite service area. The satellite terminal management system is developed for centralized management of satellite terminals and communications link. The satellite terminal management system dose not use terrestrial networks (i.e. Fiber optic, Microwave) for management because the KMILSATCOM is system for emergency (i.e. war time) and the satellite terminals has to move to operational area, so the management link must use satellite link. The management link is composed of 1 to N communication scheme for one manager and multiple terminals. This paper describes the satellite terminal management protocol architecture and the performance of the protocol of the KMILSATCOM system.

This paper deals with an alternative multi-functional structures by using grid-stiffened composite structure with excellent bending stiffness and lightweight characteristics which is capable of easy embedding of electrical/electronic circuitry into structure. The enhancement of thermal conduction capability is made by the application of pitch-based carbon fiber. The lightweight radiation spot shielding technique is also proposed for multi-functional structures without conventional housing and the effectiveness of selective radiation shielding is validated through the proton irradiation test.
