The external disturbance torque acting on a low earth orbit spacecraft was analyzed. For the Earth pointing attitude, the maximum torque to the spacecraft is about $8.3{\times}10^{-4}$ Nms and the momentum accumulated for an orbit is about 1.4 Nms and for the Sun pointing attitude, the maximum torque to the spacecraft is about $1.6{\times}10^{-3}$ Nms and the momentum is accumulated about 3.0 Nms in the spacecraft body reference frame. The analysis results confirm that the size of magnetic torquer selected previously for the satellite is sufficient to manage the accumulated momentum by considering the dumping capacity for an orbit.

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.

위성은 발사 후 임무수행을 위하여 필수적인 자세정보를 획득해야 한다. 별 추적기는 궤도상에서 별의 위치를 파악하여 상대적인 위성의 위치를 확인하는 데에 사용하는 감지기이다. 별 추적기는 태양, 지구, 달 등의 광원으로부터 오는 빛을 차단해 주는 시야각제한기(baffle), 광학계소자(CCD) 및 렌즈, 열제어소자(cooler) 그리고 전원 및 전자박스 등으로 구성된다. 위성은 발사 전 조립시험 기간 동안 전자파, 진동, 열/진공 등의 환경시험 통하여 수차례의 성능 유무를 확인한다. 이 환경시험 전과 후에는 위성의 모든 전장품의 기능시험을 수행하여, 각 전장품의 환경영향 유무를 판별한다. 특히 벌 추적기 관련시험으로, 광학계 성능 검증을 위한 광학적 자극시험과 전자박스의 구동확인을 위한 전자박스 점검시험이 있다. 본 논문에서는 지상에서 수행한 별 추적기의 기능시험 결과를 분석하여 건정성 동향을 분석하였다.

The Mission Control System for KOMPSAT-2 was developed by ETRI and is being operated at Satellite Control Center at KARI to monitor and control KOMPSAT-2 (KOrea Multi-Purpose Satellite) which was launched in July 28th, 2006. MCE provides the functions such as telemetry reception and processing, telecommand generation and transmission, satellite tracking and ranging, orbit prediction and determination, attitude maneuver planning, satellite simulation, etc. KOMPSAT-2 is the successor of KOMPSAT-1 which is an earth-observation satellite. KOMPSAT-2 has higher resolution image taking ability due to MSC (Multi Spectral Camera) payload in the satellite and precise orbit and attitude determination by Mission Control System. It can produce one meter resolution image compared to six meter resolution image by KOMPSAT-1.

A GEO satellite launched by Arian 5 ECA launcher will be located in a transfer orbit where it requires several Apogee burn maneuvers to reach the target orbit. To obtain the required performance of Apogee burn maneuvers, a calibration of gyro drift error needs to be performed before each maneuver. In this paper, a unique gyro calibration scheme which is applied to COMS is described and the calibration error budget analysis is performed.

Recently, many kinds of satellites are developed in many countries. The satellite contains various data, such as hardware status data attitude date an information, etc. And the ground station must check these data for successful operation These data is called as telemetry. Flight software is responsible for the telemetry processing. In KOMPSAT(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite)-2, the telemetry processing logic takes the table-driven method to make satellite data flow efficient In this paper, the telemetry processing in KOMPSAT-2 is described Verification test and integration test are being carried out for the FSW of KOMPSAT-2.

Propulsion System provides the required velocity change impulse for orbit transfer from parking orbit to mission orbit and three-axis vehicle attitude control impulse. New LEO Satellite propulsion system (PS) will be an all-welded, monopropellant hydrazine system. The PS consists of the subassemblies and components such as Thrusters, Propellant Tank, Pressure Transducer, Propellant Filter, Latching Isolation Valves, Fill/Drain Valves, interconnecting propellant line assembly, and thermal hardwares for operation-environment control of the PS. In this study, preliminary design process of LEO Satellite propulsion system will be summarized.

Reaction Control System of the third stage of the Korean Space Launch Vehicle II conducts roll control and 3 axis control throughout third stage engine start, satellite separation, and collision and contamination avoidance maneuver. Reaction control system consumes its propellant in each thruster operation. Hence, loading of proper amount of the propellant is important for mission success. It is needed to have a rough estimation method of propellant consumption during the flight. In this paper, we developed a energy equation using pressure and temperature data which are acquired in the on-board reaction control system. We constructed a test system which is similar with the on-board reaction control system to verify the energy equation. Test results using deionized water were compared with estimated propellant consumption. We also conducted an error analysis of the energy equation. We also presented the propellant consumption result of a system level operation test.
