The Propulsion System Test Complex(PSTC) was constructed for the verification test of each stage's propulsion system of KSLV-II. Main Control System(MCS) is the system to operate the onboard equipment and the ground equipment of the PSTC simultaneously. This paper describes the critical design, the development status, and test results of Main Control System. The MCS will be used for the interface connection between ground control systems and onboard equipment. Test sequence and operation process of the Work Manager will be conducted by MCS.

75 tonf liquid rocket engine combustion test was performed at Naro space center Engine Combustion Test Facility for KSLV-II. A gradual pressure drop was observed during off-design combustion test turbopump inlet condition using cooled kerosene at 271 K. It was found that the water content inside kerosene could cause pressure drop at 40 ㎛ grade filter through the water contests analysis of kerosene, kerosene cooling test and dehydration of kerosene.

The 7tonf-class power pack test at turbopump test facility in Naro space center was performed for confirmations of starting/running/ending operation characteristics before 7tonf rocket engine hot-firing test. The dynamic pressure mounted on a combustion chamber of gas generator is measured under 0.2 bar which does not conditioned to the unstable combustion. The analysis results of RPM and acceleration sensors mounted on the turbopump, the power pack test was performed to the estimated RPM with the stable combustion.

본 연구는 중소기업청 공고 중소기업기술개발 지원사업 과제로 한국천문연구원(주관기관)과 (주)져스텍(공동개발기관)이 공동으로 수행하였다. 지원사업 과제는 출연연과 중소기업이 기술개발 및 이전을 하여 개발된 망원경을 상용화하는 것이 목표이다. 망원경에서 가대부는 (주)져스텍에서, 경통부는 한국천문연구원에서 각각 담당하여 제작 하였다. 시스템을 설계하고 가대부, 경통부, 디로테이터 등을 조립,정렬하였고, 제작품을 시험한 결과, 초기 개발 목표치에 달성 하였다. 망원경을 제작하면서 한국천문연구원에서 가지고 있던 기계부, 전자부, 프로그램에 대한 기술을 (주)져스텍에 이전하여 독자적으로 제작이 가능하게 하였다. 본 과제를 수행하면서 국립 고흥청소년우주체험센터 망원경을 제작하게 되어 가격경쟁력을 갖는 망원경 제작이 가능하다는 것을 입증 하였다. 향후 광학계가 완성되고 원하는 성과를 내면 중형망원경을 개발하는데 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

The launch operation for a space launch vehicle(SLV) is to be conducted by the systematic operation between SLV and the Technological Equipment(TE) such as the mechanical, fuel, and electrical ground support equipment at launch complex(LC). The basic source for the operation of the instruments in LC is the electrical power supply system, Technological Equipment Power Supply System(TEPSS), which is one of the Launch Control System. Thus TEPSS should supply the required electrical power to TE with reliability. In this paper, TEPSS which supplies operational electrical power to TE is introduced.

Electric propulsion has become a cost effective and sound engineering solution for many space applications. The success of SMART-1 and MUSES-C developed by European Space Agency (ESA) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) each proved that even small spacecraft could accomplish planetary mission with electric propulsion systems. A small electric propulsion system which is Hall effect thruster like SMART-1 is under development by SaTReC and GDPL (Glow Discharge Plasma Lab.) in KAIST for the next microsatellite, STSAT-3. To achieve optimized propulsion system, it is very necessary to understand plasma motions of Hall effect thruster. In this paper, we try to approach comprehensive plasma model with the particle simulation complementary to Particle In Cell (PIC) simulation. We think these two different approaches will help experimenters to optimize Hall effect thruster performances.

We have used a mid-IR (mid-infrared) continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillator (OPO), developed previously and described in Ref. 12, to build a performance-evaluation setup for a mid-IR spectrometer. The used CW OPO had a wavelength tuning range of $ 2.5-3.6{\mu}m$ using a pump laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm and a fan-out MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) nonlinear crystal in a concentric cavity design. The OPO was combined with a near-IR integrating sphere and a Fourier-transform IR optical spectrum analyzer to build a performance-evaluation setup for mid-IR spectrometers. We applied this performance-evaluation setup to evaluating a mid-IR spectrometer developed domestically, and demonstrated the capability of evaluating the performance, such as spectral resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, spectral stray light, and so on, based on this setup.

The ground oxidizer supply system in the launch site of NARO space center had operated 9 times from the start of tests with ILV on May, 2009 to the 2nd flight test of the NARO vehicle. This system operated successfully for twice launches of the NARO vehicle. To judge the successful operation of the ground facility, it should have reproducibility and reliability. In this report, we have analyzed the liquid oxygen consumption of the system to judge of its reproducibility and it can be a reference for using this system for the next generation of KSLV system.

한국천문연구원은 한일상관센터(Korea-Japan Correlation Center)에 2009년부터 한일공동 VLBI상관기(Korea-Japan Joint VLBI Correlator, KJJVC)를 설치하여 운영하고 있다. 한일공동VLBI상관기는 한국우주전파관측망(Korean VLBI Network, KVN), VERA(VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry), JVN(Japanese VLBI Network)을 연결하여 관측을 수행하고 동아시아 지역의 VLBI 관측망의 상관처리를 담당할 예정이다. 한일공동VLBI상관기 중에서 데이터동기재생처리장치(Raw VLBI Data Buffer, RVDB)와 관측데이터를 재생할 수 있는 재생기 시스템(Mark5B)간의 데이터 전송은 1Gbps 전송속도를 가지는 VSI(VLBI Standard Interface)규격의 전송케이블을 통하여 수행된다. 고속 데이터 전송에 있어 발생하는 전자기방해(Electromagnetic Interference, EMI)는 관측 데이터의 손실을 발생시키며, 이러한 고속데이터 전송간에 발생하는 EMI는 케이블의 길이가 길어질수록 많이 발생하게 되며 향후 상관기 시스템의 확장을 고려할 때 상당한 문제점을 초래 할 수 있다. 따라서, VSI규격의 통신에서 발생하는 EMI 노이즈 정도를 측정하고, 노이즈 제거 필터를 적용하여 데이터 손실을 최소화 할 수 있는 방안을 고려하였다. 본 발표에서는 한일공동VLBI상관기(KJJVC)에서 운용되는 고속재생기(Mark5B)와 RVDB간의 VSI방식의 데이터 전송에 있어 야기되는 EMI를 제거하고 관측 데이터의 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

We explored the frequency response of krill target strength (TS) to understand the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and ice krill (Euphausia crystallorophias) using the stochastic distorted-wave Born approximation (SDWBA) model. The results showed that the distribution of orientation and the fatness factor could significantly impact on the frequency response of TS. Krill TS is clearly depended on acoustic properties, which could affect to estimate the biomass of two krill species. The results provide insight into the importance of understanding TS variation to estimate the Antarctic krill and ice krill biomass, and their ecology related to the environmental features in the Southern Ocean.
