  • A compact imaging system, the Multi-spectral Earth Imaging System (MEIS) was developed and operated on an engineering test satellite, KITSAT-3 at the orbital altitude of 720 km. The MEIS takes multi-spectral images of the earth's surface with the swath width of 48 km and the ground sampling distance of 13.8 m in three spectral bands. A brief technical description of the KITSAT-3 MEIS and the result from its initial operation since early June, 1999 are presented. The quality of images produced by the KITSAT-3 MEIS was found comparable to that of images from existing commercial earth observation satellites from its preliminary assessment.

  • Since a tower crane is too high for a worker to ascend and by the wind in the high altitude, the possibility of a safety accident is very high, a lift assist is used. In this study, the hydraulic fall prevention device using the pressure generation device by Seok, et al. was developed. For this, the effects on the fall prevention performances of factors such as gear clearance, oil viscosity, rotative velocity and so on were evaluated by the analysis of fluid flow using FEM and the prototype was producted and a function test was performed.

  • 성층권에 무선중계기지를 구축하여 통신에 이용하는 개념은 이미 오래 전부터 제안되어 왔으나 구현상 기술적 난이도가 높아 그 동안 현실화되지 못했다. 그러나 최근 새로운 통신 서비스에 대한 시대적 요구와 고효율의 태양 전지 및 연료 전지, 고정밀 GPS 항법 시스템과 같은 신기술 개발로 인하여 성층권 비행선을 이용한 무선통신 시스템 구현이 점차 가시화 되고 있으며, 세계전파통신회의(WRC)를 계기로 성층권통신시스템용 주파수가 분배됨에 따라, 선진국을 중심으로 HAPS(High Altitude Platform Station) 상용화를 위한 연구개발이 활발히 진행중에 있다. 특히, 우리나라와 인접한 일본은 정부의 적극적인 지원과 산/학/연의 효율적인 공조 체제를 바탕으로 HAPS 개발과 관련하여 과히 세계 선두 진열에 들어서 있다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 아직 HAPS 개발에 필요한 기술적, 재정적 기반이 부족한 우리나라로서는 이웃한 일본의 연구개발 동향을 항시 주시하고 정확하게 분석한다면 향후 독자적인 연구개발 수행 시 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

  • The tracking antenna system must be always pointed to target moving vehicle. Especially, for an antenna mounted on a movable vehicle, it needs the stabilized antenna system. In this paper, two types of fuzzy controller were derived and applied to a data link antenna system and the altitude control of unmanned helicopter, respectively. A simplified Fuzzy-PID controller was designed for 2-axes antenna stabilization and tracking system and the performance was verified by simulations and experiments. Computer simulations were performed by Matlab and SIMULINK. A 2-Axes antenna (SeaTel 1898 model) was selected as test platform of this research. The antenna was modified by using two Blushless Direct Current motors and an embedded DSP controller. To verify the performance of designed antenna servo control system, the performance of the conventional PID controller and that of the Fuzzy-PID controller, designed by the same PID control gains, were compared.

  • In this paper the upwind flux difference splitting Navier-Stokes method has been applied to study the perfect gas and the equilibrium chemically reacting hypersonic flow over an axisymmetric sphere-cone(5°) geometry. The effective gamma(γ), enthalpy to internal energy ratio was used to couple chemistry with the fluid mechanics for equilibrium chemically reacting air. The test case condition was at altitude(30km) and Mach number(15). The equilibrium shock thickness over the blunt body region was much thinner than that of perfect gas shock. The pressure difference between perfect gas and equilibrium gas was about 3 ∼ 5 percent. The heat transfer coefficient were also calculated. The results were compared with VSL results in order to validate the current numerical analysis. The results from current method were compared well VSL results ; however, not well at near nose. The proper boundary condition and grid system will be studied to improve the solution quality.

  • In this paper the upwind flux difference splitting Navier-Stokes method has been applied to study the perfect gas and the equilibrium chemically reacting hypersonic flow over an axisymmetric sphere-cone($5^{\circ}$) geometry. The effective gamma($\bar{r}$), enthalpy to internal energy ratio was used to couple chemistry with the fluid mechanics for equilibrium chemically reacting air. The test case condition was at altitude(30Km) and Mach number(15). The equilibrium shock thickness over the blunt body region was much thinner than that of perfect gas shock. The pressure difference between perfect gas and equilibrium gas was about $3\sim5$ percent. The skin friction coefficient and heat transfer coefficient were also calculated.

  • In this paper, a precision landing approach is implemented based on real-time image processing. A full-scale landmark for automatic landing is used. canny edge detection method is applied to identify the outside quadrilateral while circular hough transform is used for the recognition of inside circle. Position information on the ground landmark is uplinked to the unmanned helicopter via ground control computer in real time so that the unmanned helicopter control the air vehicle for accurate landing approach. Ground test and a couple of flight tests for autonomous landing approach show that the image processing and automatic landing operation system have good performance for the landing approach phase at the altitude of $20m{\sim}1m$ above ground level.
