Integration of satellites with diverse missions, such as broadcast-communication, earth, meteorologicaland marine observations, and navigation, is vulnerable. The problems of the currently constructed ground station network were analyzed by constructing the test environment. Based on this, we designed a network that was capable of operating multiple satellites by one ground station. In addition, we proposed an interface and network configuration method with domestic and foreign ground stations. The network linking the domestic and foreign ground stations was composed of KREONET (Korea Research Environment Open Network) and GLORIAD (Global Ring Network for Advanced Application Development) of the KISTI(Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information). The internal network consists of VPN (Virtual Private Network), DMZ(De-Militarized Zone), and 1-way USB and so forth. By constructing the network by using the proposed method, harmful data, such as virus inflow and infection, can be blocked.

Aircraft data network (ADN) is a data networking for signal transmission among avionic systems in aircraft, and it mostly has been applied MIL-STD-1553B that guarantees high reliability considering its application environments. However, commercial Ethernet has been widely applied for ADN recently, and its range of applications have increased. Ethernet provides high speed of data transmission, however, it could not guarantee quality of service (QoS) so high as MIL-STD-1553B. In this paper, we propose dynamic routing and priority based data transmission schemes in order to improve the QoS of legacy Ethernet. Our propose schemes can be applied to Ethernet switch, and it is able to manage network traffic efficiently, and reduce the time for data transmission. We analyze the packet transmission time for both legacy and proposed schemes in Ethernet environments using simulation, and we show that our proposed scheme can reduce the time for data transmission compare to legacy spanning tree protocol.

UAVs have been deployed various missions such as deception, reconnaissance and attack since they have been applied in battlefield and achieved missions successfully instead of man. In the past, it is impossible for UAVs to conduct autonomous missions or cooperative mission between manned aircraft due to the limitation of the technology. However, theses missions are possible owing to the advance in communication and AI Technology. In this research, we identified the possible cooperative missions between manned and unmanned team based on air-to-air mission. We studied cooperative manned and unmanned tactics about fighter sweep mission which is the core and basic operation among various air-to-air missions. We also developed cooperative tactics of manned and unmanned team by classifying nonstealth and stealth confrontational tactics. Hereafter, we verified the validity of the suggested tactics using computer simulations.

There is an X-band transmission system in KOMPSAT-2 in order to downlink the acquired image data in high speed. KOMPSAT-2 employs a steerable high gain X-band antenna for that purpose. During the ground test, the X-band RF radiation is so strong that it has to be controlled for safety, while spacecraft needs to keep flight configuration. Also in a launch site of which all test facilities are the subjects of strict radiation control, the antenna system should be tested again without any change in the configuration. To limit the actual radiation of RF power, an antenna hat was manufactured and thoroughly tested to demonstrate the spacecraft safety when using it.

This paper cites about a test & analysis support set to support a testing and analysis of CFDP(CCSDS File Delivery Protocol) that processes commands and data as a series of file for reliable deep space communication. And this paper includes a basic description of CFDP and an objective and functions of CFDP-TASS(CFDP - Test Analysis & Support Set). CFDP-TASS is an equipment to examine OBC(On-Board Computer) CFDP in normal and abnormal cases, gather all packets in test, and support to analyze effectively the result of tests.

Passive attitude stabilization methods using the permanent magnet combined with hysteresis damper and the gravity gradient boom have been widely used for the attitude determination and control of cube satellite, due to its advantage of system simplicity. In this paper, on-orbit thermal characteristics of the cube satellite considering the attitude profiles obtained from the above passive attitude stabilization methods have been investigated through on-orbit thermal analysis. In addition, the effectiveness of the various thermal coatings on the panel for the communication antenna installation has been verified.

This paper deals with recent research cases and directions of Fly-By-Wireless (FBWLS) flight control technology. FBWLS is a new type of flight control system technology with the aim of solving the problems mainly caused by the increasing amount of wires in aircraft to which Fly-By-Wire (FBW) technology applies. Therefore, in FBWLS flight control system the wired communication system is replaced with a wireless communication system. Currently the FBWLS flight control technology is at an initial development stage and thus this paper surveys deals with the cases in the viewpoint of technology feasibility. In this context, this paper analyzes technology that needs further studies to secure the reliability, stability and accuracy to the similar level of the corresponding FBW system. Since the major problems of FBWLS technology are packet losses and time delays so that this paper suggests the research direction of wireless communication protocol selection, optimization of wireless communication network and controller design considered communication environment.

There have been about 450 atomic frequency standards (or atomic clocks) launched into orbit for the use on communications and scientific payloads since 1970's. GPS satellites carry on-board Rubidium and Cesium atomic frequency standards which are utilized for the precise positioning and timing. The evolving technologies of space qualified atomic frequency standards have enhanced in the performance, reliability, and lifetime of satellites. In this paper we describe the fundamentals and performance of the atomic frequency standards, and introduce the atomic frequency standards which are presently on-board various satellites systems. We also present the GPS time scale and its applications.

The Fly-By-Wire system was first applied to the fighter and its inherent advantages lead to the advent of the Fly-By-Wire civil aircraft. Recently even the small jet aircraft shows the trend of adopting the Fly-By-Wire system. In the future, most of the aircraft are expected to be the Fly-By-Wire type. In this paper, the structure and the characteristics of the Fly-By-Wire system applied to the civil aircraft was described. The development trend of the redundant method of the flight control system, data communication system, control surface actuation system and the control laws implemented by the Fly-By-Wire system of the civil aircraft are discussed.

The electromagnetic compatibility and its effects, and the system design considerations in space environment are studied in this paper using Multipator. The system level EMC test results of digital channel amplifier(DCAMP), its affects upon the H/W improving methods regarding its over exceed value of EMC specification are discussed. These analysis values and test results can be used as the criteria for the selection of EMC requirements and of the MILSATCOM system design.
