MSC(Multispectral Camera), which will be a unique payload on KOMPSAT-II, is designed to collect panchromatic and multi-spectral imagery with a ground sample distance of 1m and a swath width of 15km at 685km altitude in sun-synchronous orbit. The instrument is designed to have an orbit operation duty cycle of 20% over the mission life time of 3 years. MSC electronics consists of three main subsystems; PMU(Payload Management Unit), CEU(Camera Electronics Unit) and PDTS(Payload Data Transmission Subsystem). PMU performs all the interface between spacecraft and MSC, and manages all the other subsystems by sending commands to them and receiving telemetry from them with software protocol through RS-422 interface. CEU controls FPA(Focal Plane Assembly) which contains TDI(Timc Delay Integration) CCD(Charge Coupled Device) and its clock drivers. PMU provides a Master Clock to synchronize panchromatic and multispectral camera. PDTS performs compression, storage and encryption of image data and transmits them to the ground station through x-band.

지구관측위성의 광학탑재체 내부에 장착된 초점면결상장치(FPA, Focal Plane Assembly)는 영상촬영시 많은 열을 발생하며, 최상성능획득을 위해서는 온도가 좁은 온도범위 내에서 유지되어야 한다. 초점면결상장치가 짧은 시간 동안 많은 열을 발생할 때, 이를 효과적으로 냉각시키기 위해 보통 히트파이프와 복사방열판을 이용한다. 이번 연구에서는 초점면결상장치의 최대상승온도를 낮추고, 영상촬영대기시 최적온도유지를 위한 히터작동율을 낮추기 위해 초점면결상장치와 복사방열판 사이에 열완충질량(TBM, Thermal Buffer Mass)을 적용하였는데, 이를 통해 얻을 수 있는 열설계 개선효과에 대해서 기술한다.

IGRINS (Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer) is a high resolution wide-band infrared spectrograph developed by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and the University of Texas at Austin (UT). The slit-viewing camera is one of four re-imaging optics in IGRINS including the input relay optics and the H- and K- band spectrograph cameras. Consisting of five lenses and one Ks-band filter, the slit viewing camera relays the infrared image of $2'{\times}2'$ field around the slit to the detector focal plane. Since IGRINS is a cryogenic instrument, the lens barrel is designed to be optimized at the operating temperature of 130 K. The barrel design also aims to achieve easy alignment and assembly. We use radial springs and axial springs to support lenses and lens spacers against the gravity and thermal contraction. Total weight of the lens barrel is estimated to be 1.2 kg. Results from structural analysis are presented.

Electro-Optical Camera(EOC) is the main payload of Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite(KOMPSAT) with the mission of cartography to build up a digital map of Korean territory including Digital Terrain Elevation Map(DTEM). This instrument which comprises EOC Sensor Assembly and EOC Electronics Assembly produces the panchromatic images of 6.6 m GSD with a swath wider than 17 km by push-broom scanning and spacecraft body pointing in a visible range of wavelength, 510 ~ 730 nm. The high resolution panchromatic image is to be collected for 2 minutes during 98 minutes of orbit cycle covering about 800 km along ground track, over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable rain/offset and on-board image data storage. The image of 8 bit digitization, which is collected by a full reflective type F8.3 triplet without obscuration, is to be transmitted to Ground Station at a rate less than 25 Mbps. EOC was elaborated to have the performance which meets or surpasses its requirements of design phase. The spectral response the modulation transfer function, and the uniformity of all the 2592 pixel of CCD of EOC are illustrated as they were measured for the convenience of end-user. The spectral response was measured with respect to each gain setup of EOC and this is expected to give the capability of generating more accurate panchromatic image to the EOC data users. The modulation transfer function of EOC was measured as greater than 16% at Nyquist frequency over the entire field of view which exceeds its requirement of larger than 10%, The uniformity that shows the relative response of each pixel of CCD was measured at every pixel of the Focal Plane Array of EOC and is illustrated for the data processing.

The MSC is a payload on the KOMPSAT-2 satellite to perform the earth remote sensing. The instrument images the earth using a push-broom motion with a swath width of 15 km and a GSD(Ground Sample Distance) of 1 m over the entire FOV(Field Of View) at altitude 685 km. The instrument is designed to haute an on-orbit operation duty cycle of 20% over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain/offset and on-board image data compression/storage. The MSC instrument has one channel for panchromatic imaging and four channel for multi-spectral imaging covering the spectral range from 450nm to 900nm using TDI(Time Belayed Integration) CCD(Charge Coupled Device) FPA(Focal Plane Assembly). The MSC hardware consists of three subsystem, EOS(Electro Optic camera Subsystem), PMU(Payload Management Unit) and PDTS(Payload Data Transmission Subsystem) and each subsystems are currently under development and will be integrated and verified through functional and space environment tests. Final verified MSC will be delivered to spacecraft bus for AIT(Assembly, Integration and Test) and then COMSAT-2 satellite will be launched after verification process through IST(Integrated Satellite Test). In this paper, the introduction of MSC, the configuration of MSC electronics including electrical interlace and design of CEU(Camera Electronic Unit) in EOS are described. MSC Operation parameters induced from the operation concept are discussed and analyzed to find the influence of system for on-orbit operation in future.

In order to get high quality and high resolution image data from the space-borne camera system, the image chain from the sensor to the user in the ground-station need to be designed and controlled with extreme care. The behavior of the camera system needs to be controlled by ground commands to support on-orbit calibration and to adjust imaging parameters and to perform early stage on-orbit image correction, like gain and offset control, non-uniformity correction, etc. The operation status including the temperature of the sensor needs to be transferred to the ground-station. The preparation time of the camera system for imaging with specific parameters should be minimized. The camera controller needs to synchronize the operation of cameras for every channel and for every spectral band. Detail timing information of the image data needs to be provided for image data correction at ground-station. In this paper, the design of the camera controller for the AEISS on KOMPSAT-3 will be introduced. It will be described how the image chain is controlled and which imaging parameters are to be adjusted The camera controller will have software for the flexible operation of the camera by the ground-station operators and it can be reconfigured by ground commands. A simple concept of the camera operations and the design of the camera controller, not only with hardware but also with controller software are to be introduced in this paper.

The GMT-Consortium Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is the first instrument for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). G-CLEF is a fiber feed, optical band echelle spectrograph that is capable of extremely precise radial velocity measurement. G-CLEF Flexure Control Camera (FCC) is included as a part in G-CLEF Front End Assembly (GCFEA), which monitors the field images focused on a fiber mirror to control the flexure and the focus errors within GCFEA. FCC consists of an optical bench on which five optical components are installed. The order of the optical train is: a collimator, neutral density filters, a focus analyzer, a reimager and a detector (Andor iKon-L 936 CCD camera). The collimator consists of a triplet lens and receives the beam reflected by a fiber mirror. The neutral density filters make it possible a broad range star brightness as a target or a guide. The focus analyzer is used to measure a focus offset. The reimager focuses the beam from the collimator onto the CCD detector focal plane. The detector module includes a linear translator and a field de-rotator. We performed thermoelastic stress analysis for lenses and their mounts to confirm the physical safety of the lens materials. We also conducted the global structure analysis for various gravitational orientations to verify the image stability requirement during the operation of the telescope and the instrument. In this article, we present the opto-mechanical detailed design of G-CLEF FCC and describe the consequence of the numerical finite element analyses for the design.

1999년에 발사될 다목적실용위성1호의 주 탑재체인 전자광학카메라는 한반도의 디지털 지도(입체지도 포함) 작성을 위한 영상자료를 획득하는 것을 그 임무로 하고있다. 센서부와 전자부로 구성된 전자광학카메라는 파장 510∼730nm의 가시광선영역에서 6.6m의 지상해상도와 관측 폭 17km 이상의 흑백영상을 위성체 자세제어에 의한 조준과 푸쉬브룸 방식으로 촬영한다. 3년 이상의 임무수명을 가진 본 기기의 고해상도 흑백영상 촬영시간은, 98분인 위성궤도 당 2분간 연속 수집되어 그 지상영상의 길이는 800km에 이르며, 운용 중 프로그래밍이 가능한 이득률과 옵셋, 그리고 자체 내에 영상을 저장할 수 있는 기능을 갖고 있다. F수 8.3인 비차폐 3면 반사식 광학계에 의해 수집된 영상은 각각 8 bit 전자신호로 처리되어 25Mbps의 송신율을 가지고 지상국으로 보내진다. 제작된 전자광학카메라는 각종 시험을 통하여, 그 설계에서 요구되었던 기술사양을 만족하거나 능가할 정도로 높은 완성도를 보이고 있는데, 본 논문에서는 전자광학카메라로 획득된 영상자료의 최종 사용자들을 위하여 그 분광특성, MTF(Modulation Transfer function), 2592개 CCD 화소의 상대적 반응비등의 중요 성능특성 측정값을 설명하였다. 이득율을 변화시키며 측정한 분광특성 결과는 전자광학카메라의 영상자료 사용자가 더 정확한 흑백영상을 만드는데 이용되리라 본다. 영상품질을 가름하는 중요한 특성인 MTF는 시계각 전부에 걸쳐 Nyquist 진동수에서 측정값이 요구값 10%를 넘어 16% 이상을 보이므로써 이 전자광학카메라가 우수한 성능을 가진 것이 입증되었고, 각 CCD 화소들의 상대적 반응도를 측정한 결과에서도 상당히 고른 특성을 확인함과 함께, 차후 전자광학카메라의 영상자료 처리과정을 위하여 정밀한 상대 비교값을 제공하였다.
