This study concerns about the orbit prediction and orbit determination of Korean future communication satellite, called 'Moogunghwa", which will be motioned in the geo-stationary orbit. Perturbation effect on the satellite orbit due to nonspherical gravitation of the earth, gravitation of the sun and moon, radiation of sun, drag of the atmosphere was investigated. Cowell's method is used for orbit prediction. Orbit determination was performed by using Extended Kalman Filter which is suitable for real-time orbit determination. The result shows that the chacteristics of the satellite orbit has east-west and south-north drift. So the periodic control time and control value in the view of the periodic of error can be provided. The orbit determination demonstrated the effectiveness since the convergence performance on the positon and velocity error, and state error standard deviation is reasonable.able.

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to solve the problem that can't maintain hop synchronization using only early-late gate tracking loop due to the drift of geo-stationary satellite in frequency hopping satellite communication system. When the signal is transferred to downlink through DRT(Dehop-Rebop Transponder), the problem with synchronization loss is occurred periodically when using only early-late gate tracking loop, because of energy loss in each side portion of hop due to orbital variation of the satellite. To solve this problem, we have developed Anti-Shrink synchronization tracking algorithm which uses the prediction value of transmission timing and the structure of inner-outer gate instead of early-late gate with the ranging information. Through simulations, we showed that the performance of the Anti-Shrink algorithm is better than that of simple inner-outer energy ratio algorithm and similar to that of conventional early-late tracking loop algorithm with ranging information. No synchronization failure in the proposed algorithm was occurred because of less energy loss and robustness without the ranging information.

Satellite communication is not used by many people like mobile communication, but it is a necessary technology for public service and communication services, such as providing the Internet in military, disaster, remote education and medical services, island areas, and infrastructure vulnerable areas. However, most communication modems have problems with two-way communication with server as IP addresses are assigned to floating IP that change every time they communicate with the network. In this paper, we used the Raspberry Pi as the controller of the terminal device to communicate the network through the satellite modem and the PPP protocol, and to solve the problem of the modem with the floating IP, we used the text message function of the satellite modem. Through this process, two-way data links using the Thuraya geostationary orbit satellite were implemented.

As a part of development process of the COMS, an acoustic vibration test was performed in order to verify that the COMS is safe from the acoustic loads coming from the Ariane-5ECA launch vehicle when it is launched. In this paper, the acoustic vibration test preparation which was performed during the development of the COMS is explained, and through the evaluation of the test results, it was verified whether the COMS is safe from the acoustic load that the COMS will experience during the launch. Through detail evaluation of the acoustic loads on the solar array, Ka band communication payload antenna and feed, GOCI(Geo-Stationary Ocean Color Imager), MI(Meteorological Imager), it was confirmed that the COMS is safe from the acoustic loads from launch vehicle.

기상위성은 그 특성상 다양한 Imager, Sounder, 그리고 여러 환경 테스트용 장비를 지니게 되며 일정한 시간동안 지구에 그 정보를 전송한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 수신 시스템은 현재 운영중인 아리랑위성 1호의 임무계획에 필요한 기상정보를 직접 획득하여 운영의 효율성을 높일 필요성에 의해서 GMS-5의 S-VISSR data 뿐만 아니라 2003년 4월 이후에 서비스를 할 것으로 예정된 GOES-9위성의 GVAR data도 역시 수신 및 처리를 할 수 있도록 설계되었다. Link budget 설계를 수행하여 최악의 경우에도 영상을 복원할 수 있는 통신링크가 제공되도록 설계하였고, 시스템 구성 모듈을 가능한 한 상용제품으로 사용하였다. 설치된 후에는 태양을 이용한 G/T의 값을 측정하여 설계치 보다 약1.608 향상된 시스템임을 검증하였고, 수신된 GMS-5의 S-VISSR 데이터를 성공적으로 처리함으로써 자체적으로 개발한 처리 소프트웨어를 검증하였다.

Due to the future of a large size satellite like Geo-stationary orbit satellite, KARI has progressed the construction of Large Thermal Vacuum Chamber(LTVC) with Φ8mXL10m, which simulates the orbit environment at space. The space environment can be characterized as very harsh conditions. Once the spacecraft is launched and enters its orbit, the satellite is exposed to this space environment. The continuous exposure to such space environment could cause malfunction of major parts of the spacecraft, which could lead to the failure of the entire mission. Due to the fact that space environment is completely different from that of the ground, the satellite that functioned normally on the ground could show some unexpected malfunction in space environment. For this reason, the performance of the spacecraft must be confirmed under the simulated conditions of the space environment. This document includes LTVC control logic, Interlock by which the LTVC can be controlled more safely and efficiently.

The launch of the COMS by using Ariane-5 launch vehicle is introduced. First, the COMS is introduced briefly, and then, the Ariane-5 launch vehicle is introduced including detail description of the improvement of Vulcain-1 engine of Ariane-5G to Vulcain-2 engine of Ariane-5ECA for 20% increase of thrust. Then, the launch process of the COMS is introduced. The COMS will be launched from the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana. After the final check at PPF the COMS is transferred to HPF in the same building for fueling, and it is integrated to the launch vehicle adaptor at HPF, too. Then, this assembly is transferred to Final Assembly Building. After the satellites to be launched together are integrated to the launch vehicle on the launch table in the Final Assembly Building, the launch table loaded with the launch vehicle is moved to the launch pad for launch. The events during the launch vehicle flight is also introduced.
