A part of the big differences between LEO(Low Earth Orbit) and GEO(Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellite is that transfer orbit is used or not or what tolerance of the position on the mission orbit is permitted. That is to say, the transfer orbit is not used and the constraint of orbit position is not adapted on LEO satellite. Whereas for GEO satellite case, the transfer orbit shall be used due to the very high altitude and the satellite shall be stayed in the station keeping box which is permitted on the mission orbit. These phases are functions for AOCS mission. The aim of this paper is to introduce the AOCS hardware configuration for COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite). The AOCS hardware of COMS consist of 3 Linear Analogue Sun Sensors (LIASS), 3 Bi-Axis Sun Sensors (BASS), 2 Infra-Red Earth Sensors (IRES), 3 Fiber Optical Gyroscopes (FOG), 5 momentum wheels and 14 thrusters. In this paper, each component is explained how to be used, how to locate and what relation between the AOCS algorithm and these components.

As the spatial resolution of remote sensing satellites becomes higher, very accurate determination of the position of a LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite is demanding more than ever. Non-symmetric Earth gravity is the major perturbation force to LEO satellites. Since the orbit propagation is performed in the celestial frame while Earth gravity is defined in the terrestrial frame, it is required to convert the coordinates of the satellite from one to the other accurately. Unless the coordinate conversion between the two frames is performed accurately the orbit propagation calculates incorrect Earth gravitational force at a specific time instant, and hence, causes errors in orbit prediction. The coordinate conversion between the two frames involves precession, nutation, Earth rotation and polar motion. Among these factors, unpredictability and uncertainty of Earth rotation, called UTI-UTC, is the largest error source. In this paper, the effect of UTI-UTC on the accuracy of the LEO propagation is introduced, tested and analzed. Considering the maximum unpredictability of UTI-UTC, 0.9 seconds, the meaningful order of non-spherical Earth harmonic functions is derived.

The Electric Power Subsystem (EPS) is one of the most critical systems on any satellite because nearly every subsystem requires power. This makes the choice of power systems the most important task facing satellite designers. The main purpose of the Satellite EPS is to provide continuous, regulated and conditioned power to all the satellite subsystems. It has to withstand radiation, thermal cycling and vacuums in hostile space environments, as well as subsystem degradation over time. The EPS power characteristics are determined by both the parameters of the system itself and by the satellite orbit. After satellite separation from the launch vehicle (LV) to its orbit, in almost all situations, the satellite subsystems (attitude determination and control, communication and onboard computer and data handling (OBC&DH)), take their needed power from a storage battery (SB) and solar arrays (SA) besides the consumed power in the EPS management device. At this point (separation point, detumbling mode), the satellite's angular motion is high and the orientation of the solar arrays, with respect to the Sun, will change in a non-uniform way, so the amount of power generated by the solar arrays will be affected. The objective of this research is to select satellite EPS component types, to estimate solar array illumination parameters and to determine the efficiency of solar arrays during both detumbling and normal operation modes.

본 논문에서 고려된 저궤도 위성은 고정형 태양 전지판을 가지기 때문에 낮구간(daylight) 동안에 태양전지판이 태양지향(sun-pointing) 자세를 유지하고, 관측 임무 수행을 위해 태양 전지판 방향과 반대방향에 위치한 탑재체가 지구지향(nadir-pointing)이 되도록 자세를 변경한다. 이 때 낮기간의 대부분을 차지하는 태양지향 자세에서는 위성 패널(panel)로 입사하는 외부 열환경 요인이 지구 복사열과 알비도(Albedo)이기 때문에, 비교적 안정적인 열환경 조건을 가지고 있다. 이에 반하여, 관측 임무를 수행하는 궤도 10% 정도의 지구지향 자세에서는 위성의 열환경 조건에 가장 지배적인 영향을 주는 태양광이 위성 패널에 영향을 준다. 비록 위성이 비교적 짧은 시간 동안에 지구 지향의 자세를 유지하지만, 이러한 열한경 조건의 변화 때문에 위성의 열설계에서 지구지향의 임무 자세에 따른 열적 영향에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 열해석 모델에 관측 임무 구간 동안의 지구지향 자세를 반영한 열해석 결과를 통하여 그 영향을 알아보았다.

RAZAKSAT is a second micro-satellite mission by Malaysian Satellite Program and is expected for launch in June 2004. Designed to orbit the earth at low-equatorial orbit, RAZAKSAT will meet Malaysia’s immediate needs to rapid data acquisition (real time and more repetitions) to address many operational issues of remote sensing applications, which require availability of current data sets. RAZAKSAT will be among the first remote sensing satellite to orbit the earth at low inclination along the equator, 9$^{\circ}$ with 685km altitude, hence, allows optimal geographical information and environment change within equatorial region be observed with a unique revisit characteristics. The satellite primary payload is MAC, a push-broom type camera with 2.5m of ground sampling distance (GSD) in panchromatic band and 5m of GSD in four multi-spectral bands. This paper describes on the variation of illumination anticipated from simulated RAZAKSAT image, examine its implication to its ground leaving radiances for major applications.

The recent explosion in the number of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites launched to space allows to easily anticipate that the number of satellites in orbit will sustain a dramatic increase. As satellite components are integrated and unified with terrestrial cellular networks, they will play a key role in providing coverage and resilience for future cellular networks. We provide a brief overview of typical scenarios and network architectures for cellular-based LEO satellite communication systems. In addition, we outline 3GPP standardization trends in non-terrestrial networks and satellite access based on 5G/5G Advanced systems and analyze future evolution prospects of cellular-based satellite communication systems.

In Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, satellites operate fast and the inter-satellite link change period is short. In order to sense the spectrum state in LEO satellite networks in real-time, a space-based satellite network intelligent spectrum sensing algorithm based on artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed, while Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites are introduced to make fast and effective judgments on the spectrum state of LEO satellites by using their stronger arithmetic power. Firstly, the visibility constraints between LEO satellites and GEO satellites are analyzed to derive the inter-satellite link building matrix and complete the inter-satellite link situational awareness. Secondly, an ANN-based energy detection (ANN-ED) algorithm is proposed based on the traditional energy detection algorithm and artificial neural network. The ANN module is used to determine the spectrum state and optimize the traditional energy detection algorithm. GEO satellites are used to fuse the information sensed by LEO satellites and then give the spectrum decision, thereby realizing the inter-satellite spectrum state sensing. Finally, the sensing quality is evaluated by the analysis of sensing delay and sensing energy consumption. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has lower complexity, the sensing delay and sensing energy consumption compared with the traditional energy detection method.

위성 운용 중 발생할 수 있는 오류에 대한 대비를 고장 관리 설계라고 한다. 고장 관리 설계는 위성에 이상 현상이 나타나는 경우 감지하고 고립시키며, 지상에서 위성과 접속한 이후 오류 사항을 파악하고 대응책을 마련할 때까지 위성을 안전한 상태로 유지하는 기능을 포함한다. 안전 모드 운용은 정상 운용과는 다르게 비행 소프트웨어를 탑재한 탑재 컴퓨터와 전력 제어 및 분배 장치 주관 하에 지상국의 접속 없이 이루어진다. 오류 발생 시 고장 관리 설계에 따라 자동화된 동작이 이루어지는 만큼 지상 시험 단계에서 고장 관리 로직 및 관련 하드웨어가 설계된 대로 동작하는지를 철저하게 검증해야 한다. 또한 실제와 유사한 오류를 위성에 손상 없이 인가해야 한다. 고장 관리 설계 검증시험은 위성을 구성하는 다양한 부분체에 대해서 수행되나 본 논문에서는 저궤도 위성의 비행 모델을 대상으로 수행된 자세제어계와 전력계 시험의 설계에 대해 서술하고 결과에 대해 정리하였다.
