  • Satellite formation flying is currently an active area of research in the aerospace engineering. So it has been researched by various authors. In this study, a tracking controller using sliding mode techniques was designed to control a satellite for the satellite formation flying. In general, Hill's equations are used to describe the relative motion of the follower satellite with respect to the leader satellite. However the modified Hill's equations considering the $J_2$ perturbation were used for the design of sliding mode controller. The extended Kalman filter was applied to estimate the state vector based on the measurements of relative distance and velocity between two satellites. The simulation results show that the follower satellite tracks the desired trajectory well by thruster operations based on the sliding mode control law.

  • We present the design, expected performance, and current status of the wide field near-infrared camera (OAOWFC) now being developed at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, NAOJ, NINS. OAOWFC is a near-infrared survey telescope whose effective aperture is 91cm. It works at Y, J, H, and $K_s$ bands and is dedicated to the survey of long period variable stars in the Galactic plane. The field of view is $0.95 {\times} 0.95 deg^2$ which is covered by one HAWAII-2 RG detector of 2048 ${\times}$ 2048 pixels with the pixel size of $18.5 {\mu}m\;{\times}\;18.5{\mu}m$, that results in the sampling pitch of 1.6 arcsec/pixel. OAOWFC can sweep the area of $840 deg^2$ every 3 weeks, attaining a limiting magnitude of 13 in $K_s$ band. It allows us to observe long period variables embedded in the Galactic plane where interstellar extinction is severe in optical.

  • New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), in collaboration with the University of Hawaii (UH), is upgrading Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) by replacing its principal, 65 cm aperture telescope with a modern, off-axis 1.6 m clear aperture instrument from a 1.7 m blank. The new telescope offers a significant incremental improvement in ground-based infrared and high angular resolution capabilities, and enhances our continuing program to understand photospheric magneto-convection and chromospheric dynamics. These are the drivers for what is broadly called space weather - an important problem, which impacts human technologies and life on earth. This New Solar Telescope (NST) will use the existing BBSO pedestal, pier and observatory building, which will be modified to accept the larger open telescope structure. It will be operated together with our 10 inch (for larger field-of-view vector magnetograms, Ca II K and Ha observations) and Singer-Link (full disk H$\alpha$, Ca II K and white light) synoptic telescopes. The NST optical and software control design will be similar to the existing SOLARC (UH) and the planned Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) facility led by the National Solar Observatory (NSO) - all three are off-axis designs. The NST will be available to guest observers and will continue BBSO's open data policy. The polishing of the primary will be done in partnership with the University of Arizona Mirror Lab, where their proof-of-concept for figuring 8 m pieces of 20 m nighttime telescopes will be the NST's primary mirror. We plan for the NST's first light in late 2005. This new telescope will be the largest aperture solar telescope, and the largest aperture off-axis telescope, located in one of the best observing sites. It will enable new, cutting edge science. The scientific results will be extremely important to space weather and global climate change research.

  • Cheongna City Tower is a 448-meter-high rise observatory tower with 8.7:1 aspect ratio located at central lake park in Incheon Cheongna international city. The tower is a crystal shaped image and it turns invisible when the façade is activated. The tower was planned to be hexagonal 30-story building with two basements which are composed of mega frame structure using mega column and mega brace. In order to minimize the wind effect, the blow-through area was installed so that the wind can pass through. This observatory tower is an unprecedented project since the whole building is covered by façade for invisibility effect.

  • 과학위성 1호의 주탑재체인 원자외선 분광기의 검출기 전자부에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. FIMS (Far-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph)는 교차 지연선 양극을 가진 MCP(micro-channel plate)를 사용하여 입사된 원자외선 광자의 위치를 검출한다. MCP에 입사하는 광자는 MCP을 통해 전자형태로 변환되고 증폭된다. 증폭된 전하운의 중심은 양분되어 연결된 지연선을 통해 양단으로 나가게 되고, 지연선의 양단에서 전하운의 도착시간 차이를 구하여 입사된 광자의 위치를 판독한다. FIMS의 경우 2개의 MCP 검출기를 갖고 있으며, 각각 25mm$\times$25mm의 유효 크기를 갖고있다. 또 신호처리계는 1채널의 신호처리 회로계를 통해 2개의 검출기에 대한 영상검출이 가능하도록 함으로써 신호처리계의 복잡성을 피하고 아울러 전력과 무게 비용을 줄였다. 이 시스템을 통해 높은 시간 및 공간 분해능(<$35{\times}75$ps FWHM)을 얻었으며, 6W 이하의 저전력 시스템을 구현하였다.

  • KAONICS(KAO Near Infrared Camera System)와 같은 적외선 카메라는 열잡음제거가 매우 중요하다. 입사창을 통해 들어오는 외부의 열복사 이외에도 카메라의 외벽을 통해 유입되는 열복사가 배경복사로서 검출기에 입사하여 시스템의 성능을 저하 시키며 그 양은 무시할 수 없다. 따라서 배경복사와 검출기 자체의 열잡음을 줄이기 위해서 카메라 내부의 광학계 전체와 검출기를 냉각해야만 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 J, H, Ks, L 파장 대를 관측하기 위한 내부 냉각온도를 정량적으로 결정하였으며 카메라 외부에서 유입되는 복사량을 추산하고 냉각에 필요한 냉각 열용량을 추정하여 냉각기를 선택하였다. 선택된 냉각기를 이용하여 냉각할 때 Cold-Box가 목표온도에 도달하는 시간과 최종 냉각 온도를 계산하여 시스템 제작에 반영하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 전파천문 분야에서 특이한 전파원의 서베이 연구나, 외부은하의 스펙트럴 선 관측연구에 필요한 자기상관분광기 형태의 광-대역 전파분광기 제작에 있어서 가장 핵심적인 역할을 하는 상관기 보드를 설계, 제작하였다. 본 연구에서는 미국 국립천문대(NRAO)에서 개발된 QUAINT 상관기 칩을 사용하여 최대 100 ㎒의 동작 속도로 최대 400 ㎒ 대역폭을 갖는 중간주파수 신호를 분광할 수 있는 상관기 보드를 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 상관기 보드의 성능시험을 위해 1.67 ㎒와 0.5 ㎒의 구형파를 인가하여 자기상관계수를 구하고, FFT를 취한 결과 이론적인 상관결과와 거의 같은 결과를 얻었다.

  • Remote and robotic telescopes are the most effective instrument for astronomical survey projects. The system is based on the dynamic operation of all astronomical instruments such as dome and telescope control system (TCS), focuser, filter wheel and data taking camera. We adopt the ASCOM driver platform to control the instruments through the integrated software. It can convert different interface libraries from various manufacturers into a uniform standard library. This allows us to effectively control astronomical instruments without modifying codes. We suggest a conceptual design of software for automation of a small telescope such as the new wide-field 0.25m telescope at McDonald Observatory. It can also be applied to operation of multi-telescopes in future projects.

  • 한국천문연구원 지구접근천체 연구실과 연세대학교 천문대 YSTAR 팀은 해외에 설치될 전천탐 사용 광시야 망원경을 위한 돔 엔클로져(dome enclosure)를 순수한 우리 기술로 제작하였다. 이 돔 엔클로져는 망원경의 빠른 구동특성을 최대한 활용하기 위해 완전 개방형의 구조를 지님과 동시에 다양한 기상 조건에 대응하도록 견고한 구조를 가지도록 설계되었다. 또한, 자동 관측 프로그램과 연동되어 무인 관측 시스템의 한 부분으로도 그 역할을 다하도록 전자 제어부도 함께 설계되었다. 개발된 돔 엔클로져는 현재 남아프리카공화국 천문대 써덜랜드 관측소에 설치되어 성공적으로 가동되고 있다.

  • To protect water pollution and scarcity in lake and river, water quality monitoring applications have become important tools to understand the change of aquatic ecosystem. KLEON (Korean Lake Ecological Observatory Network) is designed to manage and share the ecological observations. The various kinds of water quality and phytoplankton observations are collected from the selected observatories such as seven lakes/rivers/wetlands. To deeply understand the collected observations with weather, KLEON also manages the observatory information such as lake, dam, floodgate, and weather. The accumulated observation and analyzed results are used to improve the water quality index of the observatories and encourage the ecologists' cooperation.
