As the era of space technology utilization is approaching, the launch of CAS (Compact Advanced Satellite) 500-1/2 satellites is scheduled during 2021 for acquisition of high-resolution images. Accordingly, the increase of image usability and processing efficiency has been emphasized as key design concepts of the CAS 500-1/2 ground station. In this regard, "CAS 500-1/2 Image Acquisition and Utilization Technology Development" project has been carried out to develop core technologies and processing systems for CAS 500-1/2 data collecting, processing, managing and distributing. In this paper, we introduce the results of the above project. We developed an operation system to generate precision images automatically with GCP (Ground Control Point) chip DB (Database) and DEM (Digital Elevation Model) DB over the entire Korean peninsula. We also developed the system to produce ortho-rectified images indexed to 1:5,000 map grids, and hence set a foundation for ARD (Analysis Ready Data)system. In addition, we linked various application software to the operation system and systematically produce mosaic images, DSM (Digital Surface Model)/DTM (Digital Terrain Model), spatial feature thematic map, and change detection thematic map. The major contribution of the developed system and technologies includes that precision images are to be automatically generated using GCP chip DB for the first time in Korea and the various utilization product technologies incorporated into the operation system of a satellite ground station. The developed operation system has been installed on Korea Land Observation Satellite Information Center of the NGII (National Geographic Information Institute). We expect the system to contribute greatly to the center's work and provide a standard for future ground station systems of earth observation satellites.

In order to develope a common ground system, a general procedure language that can be used in both EGSE and MCS is primarily needed. As the first step in developing a common test and integration procedure language, KARI's ATS for AIT and MCE for GS were compared to some of the most representative languages such as PLUTO regarded European standard, STOL and ELISA and PIL. Based on the analysis, design features of developing a common test and integration procedure language were presented.

This study proposes the development of an antenna tracker system using a satellite system to stabilize the communication status of drones and extend the communication distance. The location information of the drone and the ground station was used to maximize communication gain in the general fixed antenna method between the ground station and the drone. We developed a tracker system that can automatically and continuously aim the ground station's antenna at the drone. It is expected that the use of antenna trackers will improve the stabilization of communication conditions and expand the communication distance, thereby leading to the advancement of the drone industry.

2008년 발사를 목표로 개발되고 있는 통신해양기상위성(COMS: Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite)는 기상 관측과 해양 관측 임무 및 통신 임무까지 수행하는 정지궤도 위성이다. 통신해양기상위성은 크게 탑재체와 지상국으로 나눌 수 있고 지상국은 다시 통신 임무를 위한 CTES(Communication Test Earth Station), 해양/기상 임무를 위한 IDACS(Image Acquisition and Control System), 그리고 위성 관제와 운영을 위한 SGCS(Satellite Ground Control System)로 구분된다. 이 중 IDACS의 서브시스템 중 하나인 LHGS(LRIT/HRIT Generation Subsystem)는 LRIT/HRIT(Low Rate Information Transmission/High Rate Information Transmission)를 생성하고 배포하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 관측 종료 후 LRIT/HRIT 전송 완료까지 15분 이내로 이루어져야 한다는 기상청의 요구사항을 만족하기 위해서 JPEG 압축 시간도 중요한 요소로 고려되어야 한다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 MTSAT에서 받은 LRIT/HRIT의 자료 처리를 바탕으로 lossless JPEG와 lossy JPEG의 압축 시간을 측정하여 압축률을 비교하여 성능 분석을 해보기로 한다. 이렇게 도출해낸 수치자료는 COMS LHGS 설계에 활용할 수 있다.

This paper deals with the development of CanSat system, which ejects two maple seed-type autorotating science payloads and collects weather information. The CanSat consists of two autorotating science payloads and a container. The container is equipped with devices for launching science payloads and communication with the ground station, and launches science payloads one by one at different designated altitudes. The science payload consists of a space for loading and a large wing, and rotates to generate lift for slowing down the fall speed. Specifically, after being ejected, it descends at a speed of 20 m/s or less, measures the rotation rate, atmospheric pressure, and temperature, and transmits the measured value to the container at a rate of once per second. The communication system is a master-slave structure, and the science payload transmits all data to the master container, which aggregates both the received data and its own data, and transmits it to the ground station. All telemetry can be checked in real time using the ground station software developed in-house. A simulation was performed in the simulation environment, and the performance of the CanSat system that satisfies the mission requirements was confirmed.

ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunication Research Institute) has joined National GNSS Research Center program of Defense Acquisition Program Administration and Agency for Defense Development in 2010. The research subject is technology for MSAR(Military Search and Rescue) system configuration. In this project, we analyses the ways in order to improve the accuracy, reliability, availability for MSAR system from M&S(Modeling and Simulation). The MSAR System M&S Software can be used for performance analysis of new elements, such as ground elements and satellite elements without any hardware development. In this paper, after introduction of the architecture design and functional scope of the simulator, the performance analysis result for MSAR M&S software is presented.

This paper describes the progress and the plan of 'Wide Area Differential GPS (WA-DGPS) Development' project supported by Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. The project develops the main algorithms of the WA-DGPS which guarantees the improved accuracy, availability, and integrity all over the Korean peninsula. After the establishment of WA-DGPS ground infrastructure system, a real-time demonstration using pseudolite installed on the ground will be conducted in the final year. Also, the development of Korean Satellite-based Augmentation System (SBAS) is expected to be started from 2014, and the algorithms and the results in the WA-DGPS project will be used in the SBAS development.

Under Resolution 122 (Rev. WRC-03), ITU-R is invited to study, as a matter of urgency, power limitations applicable for HAPS ground stations to facilitate sharing with space station receivers in the bands 47.2-47.5 GHz and 47.9-48.2 GHz. However, there have been no studies on this issue. Recommendation ITU-R SF.1481-1 which was developed during past study period, provides methodology and system characteristics for analyzing the sharing feasibility between systems in the FS using HAPS and systems in the FSS. System characteristics for a typical HAPS in the bands above are also given in Recommendation ITU-R F.1500. This paper provides the results on power limitations applicable for HAPS ground stations in accordance with Resolution 122 (Rev. WRC-03). As already shown in ITU-R Recommendation the results show that a sufficient separation distance is required for sharing between HAPS ground stations and FSS satellite systems. We obtain some examples of the sharing conditions considering reducing the power level of HAPS ground stations and using the antenna beam pattern with the low sidelobe to decrease the interference level affecting FSS satellite receiver.
