KOMPSAT-2 will carry MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) which provides 1m resolution panchromatic and 4m resolution multi-spectral images at the altitude of 685km sun-synchronous mission orbit. The mission operation of KOMSPAT-2 is to provide the earth observation using MSC with nadir pointing. KOMPSAT-2 will also have the capability of roll/pitch tilt maneuver using reaction wheel of satellite as required. In order to protect MSC from thermal distortion as well as direct sunlight, MSC shall be operated within the constraint of sun incidence angle. It is expected that the sunlight will not violate the constraint of sun incidence angle for normal mission operations without roll/pitch maneuver. However, during roll/pitch tilt operations, optical module of MSC may be damaged by the sunlight. This study analyzed sun incidence angle of payload using KOMPSAT-2 AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem) Design and Performance Analysis Soft ware for KOMPSAT-2 normal mission operations.

Since its launching on 21 December 1999, the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-I (KOMPSAT-I) has been successfully operated by the Mission Control Element (MCE), which was developed by the ETRI. Most of the major functions of the MCE have been successfully demonstrated and verified during the three years of the mission life of the satellite. This paper presents the operational performances of the various functions in MAPS. We show the performance and analysis of orbit determinations using ground-based tracking data and GPS navigation solutions. We present four instances of the orbit maneuvers that guided the spacecraft form injection orbit into the nominal on-orbit. We include the ground-based attitude determination using telemetry data and the attitude maneuvers for imaging mission. The event prediction, mission scheduling, and command planning functions in MAPS subsequently generate the spacecraft mission operations and command plan. The fuel accounting and the realtime ground track display also support the spacecraft mission operations.

The KOMPSAT-1(Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-1) is the first multi-purpose satellite funded by Korean government for the purpose of remote sensing and scientific data gathering in KOREA. It has successfully achieved its own mission since Dec. 21, 1999. This paper provides an overview of the KOMPSAT-1 missions and addresses the nominal mission planning and operation flow. This paper also describes the routine operational orbit determination and orbit prediction process using GPS navigation solution data. Meanwhile, some problems due to inexperience of the multiple mission operations during LEOP(Launch & Early Orbit Phase) and early normal mission were investigated. Then, resolutions that include the development of new mission planning tool are addressed. The KOMPSAT-1´s missions become more complicated rather than its Initially designed ones. In order to accomplish ...

Spacecraft mission planning functions including event prediction, mission scheduling, command planning, and ground track display have been developed for the KOMPSAT-2 mission operations. Integrated event prediction functions including satellite orbital events, user requested imaging events, and satellite operational events have been implemented. Mission scheduling functions have been realized to detect the mission conflicts considering the user specified constraints and resources, A conflict free mission scheduling result is mapped into the spacecraft command sequences in the command planning functions. The command sequences are directly linked to the spacecraft operations using eXtensible Markup Language(XML) for command transmission. Ground track display shows the satellite ground trace and mission activities on a digitized world map with zoom capability.

위성의 임무운영팀 조직은 운영되는 위성의 개수,탑재체 운영지원의 여부,임무운영센터 내에서의 안테나 운영 여부, 지상시스템 자동화 정도 및 임무운영에 대한 기술지원 기능 여부에 따라서 다양한 구성이 존재할 수 있다. 위성운영 업무를 담당하는 운영조직의 구성이나 기능은 임무운영의 복잡도에 따라 약간씩 차이가 있으나 대부분의 위성운영센터는 단일 또는 복합 임무운영 지원을 위해 유사한 조직 구성을 갖는다. 항우연 임무운영센터는 아리랑위성1호 발사(1999년 12월 21일)이후 임무운영팀의 업무를 시작한 이래, 아리랑 위성 2호, 아리랑위성 3호와 5호 및 통신해양기상위성에 대한 다중임무운영의 개념으로 진화하고 있다. 본 동향에서는 본격적인 다중임무운영에 앞서 체계적인 임무운영센터의 조직을 구성하고자 해외 선진 임무운영 개념에 대한 권고사항과 실제 적용되고 있는 사례를 살펴본 후, 항우연 임무운영센터의 현재 현황과 비교분석함으로써 조직 운영의 적합성과 향후 발전방향에 대해서 살펴보고자 한다.

The post-launch mission analysis of the KOMPSAT-1 spacecraft was carried out. The injection accuracy of the Taurus launch vehicle was analyzed by comparison of the target and the realized orbit parameters. The tracking station contact analysis was also performed based on the state vectors applied at the day of launch. The offset angles between the predicted orbit and realized orbit were calculated for various tracking stations. The injection orbit parameters of the KOMPSAT-1 were analyzed for the possible options in Launch and Early Orbit Phase(LEOP) operations. Variations of the Local Time of Ascending Node(LTAN) were also obtained.

다목적 실용위성 1호의 초기운영과 정상임무운영을 위한 임무 및 명령계획 작업은 MAPS(Mission Analysis & Planning Subsystem)의 임무 및 명령계획 S/W를 이용하였다. 시간이 지날수록 요구되는 임무양이 증가하면서 수동작업이 많아 요구되는 기존 S/W를 이용하여 임무운영을 수행할 경우 안정성이 크게 저하되었으며, 자동 처리과정이 부족하여 결과검증에 소모되는 시간도 증가하였다. 다목적 실용위성 관제국은 이를 개선하고자 보다 신속하고 안전하게 임무 및 명령계획 작업을 수행할 수 있으며, 중요 과정들을 자동화하여 임무운영의 안정성을 높일 수 있는 새로운 임무 및 명령계획 S/W를 개발하였다. 본 논문은 다목적 실용위성 1호의 임무계획 및 자동 명령계획표 생성기(KSCG, KOMPSAT-1 Scheduling & Automatic Command Plan Generator)의 개발내용과 실제 운영결과를 기술하였다. KSCG를 사용한 결과, 작업능률 향상과 임무운영 안정성을 획기적으로 높였다.

Most of the major functions of the MCE have been successfully demonstrated and verified during the three years of the mission life of the satellite. The Mission Analysis and Planning Subsystem (MAPS), which is one of the four subsystems in the MCE, played a key role in the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) operations as well as the on-orbit mission operations. This paper presents the operational performances of the various functions in MAPS. We show the performance and analysis of orbit determinations using ground-based tracking data and GPS navigation solutions. We present four instances of the orbit maneuvers that guided the spacecraft from injection orbit into the nominal on-orbit. We include the ground-based attitude determination using telemetry data and the attitude maneuvers for imaging mission. The event prediction, mission scheduling, and command planning functions in MAPS subsequently generate the spacecraft mission operations and command plan. The fuel accounting and the realtime ground track display also support the spacecraft mission operations. We also present the orbital evolutions during the three years of the mission life of the KOMPSAT-Ⅰ.

The satellite orbit is continuously changing due to space environment. Especially for low earth orbit, atmospheric drag plays an important role in the orbit altitude decay. Recently, solar activities are expected to be high, and relevant events are occurring frequently. In this paper, analysis on the impact of geomagnetic storm on LEO satellite orbit is presented. For this, real flight data of KOMPSAT-2, KOMPSAT-3, and KOMPSAT-5 are analyzed by using the daily decay rate of mean altitude is calculated from the orbit determination. In addition, the relationship between the solar flux and geomagnetic index, which are the metrics for solar activities, is statistically analyzed with respect to the altitude decay. The accuracy of orbit prediction with both the fixed drag coefficient and estimated one is examined with the precise orbit data as a reference. The main results shows that the improved accuracy can be achieved in case of using estimated drag coefficient.
