KOMPSAT-5 that will be launched at the end of 2008 has a SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) payload. Since the Calibration and Validation of a satellite SAR is different from a passive optical camera as KOMPSAT-2 MSC and KOMPSAT-3 payload, we have started from the basis of SAR system. Firstly, the general SAR Cal/Val parameters have been gathered and defined. Secondly, we have been choosing the Cal/Val parameters suitable to KOMPSAT-5. Thirdly, the methods of SAR Cal/Val with the parameters have been studied. Fourthly, the requirement of Cal/Val devices and Cal/Val site has been studied.

We developed a Near Real-Time Validation System (NRVS) for the Level-2 Products of AQUA Satellite. AQUA satellite is the second largest project of Earth Observing System (EOS) mission of NASA. This satellite provides the information of water cycle of the entire earth with many different forms. Among its products, we have used five kinds of level-2 geophysical parameters containing rain rate, sea surface wind speed, skin surface temperature, atmospheric temperature profile, and atmospheric humidity profile. To use these products in a scientific purpose, reasonable quantification is indispensable. In this paper we explain the near real-time validation system process and its detail algorithm. Its simulation results are also analyzed in a quantitative way. As reference data set in-situ measured meteorological data which are periodically gathered and provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) is processed. Not only site-specific analysis but also time-series analysis of the validation results are explained and detail algorithms are described.

KARI has prepared Calibration and Validation activities for the KOMPSAT-2 (KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-2) MSC data that will be launched at the end of this year. Firstly, we divided the Cal/Val activities of it to four parts, Spatial, Spectral, Radiometric and Geometric, and defmed the detailed Cal/Val items from them. Secondly, Cal/Val targets have been defined and manufactured for the role of them. Thirdly, we have made the plan and the procedure for the Cal/Val items, developed the codes for them, studied more detailed method to do them, and trained the Cal/Val activities using the foreign satellite image data by ourselves. KARI has been now setting up the KOMPSAT-2 LEOP plan with the Cal/Val activities, and probably will finish the EOP Cal/Val activities for the KOMPSAT-2 MSC data by the next April or May.

The needs for satellite formation flying are gradually increasing to perform the advanced space missions in remote sensing and observation of the space or Earth. Formation flying in low Earth orbit can perform the scientific missions that cannot be realized with a single spacecraft. One of the various techniques of satellite formation flying is the determination of the precise baselines between the satellites within the formation, which has to be in company with the precision validation. In this paper, the baseline of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) A and B was determined with the real global positioning system (GPS) measurements of GRACE satellites. And baseline precision was validated with the batch and sequential processing methods using K/Ka-band ranging system (KBR) biased range measurements. Because the proposed sequential method validate the baseline precision, removing the KBR bias with the epoch difference instead of its estimation, the validating data (KBR biased range) are independent of the data validated (GPS-baseline) and this method can be applied to the real-time precision validation. The result of sequential precision validation was 1.5~3.0 mm which is similar to the batch precision validation.

한국은 세계 최초로 정지궤도 환경위성탑재체 Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer(GEMS)를 발사하여, 동북아시아 지역 대기오염물질을 실시간으로 감시할 계획 중이다. 위성을 이용한 대기오염물질 관측은 불량조건문제(ill-posed problem)에서 역문제의 해를 찾는 과정이기 때문에, 위성 관측 값은 오차를 포함하고 있다. 따라서 GEMS 산출물이 신뢰성을 갖기 위해서는 지상관측 또는 다른 위성과의 상호 비교 검증 연구가 반드시 요구된다. 본 연구는 향후 GEMS의 오존 관측자료의 검증에 사용될 위성인 OMI, OMPS 그리고 서울과 부산에 설치된 지상 관측기기인 Pandora에서 측정된 total column ozone (TCO)를 상호 비교분석 함으로써 자료의 평가를 실시하였다. 이 연구에서는 위성이 전지구적으로 일관된 정확도의 오존 자료를 제공한다는 특성을 이용하여 지상 관측자료의 정확도를 평가하였다. 그 결과 서울 Pandora #29의 자료에서 심각한 기기오차를 발견하여, 위성자료를 이용한 지상자료의 역검증이 가능함을 보였다. 다음으로 지상 Pandora를 이용한 OMPS의 자료 비교 검증에서 OMPS TCO는 Pandora TCO 값에 대해 상관관계 0.97과 ~1.8 DU의 RMSE 그리고 4%의 양의 편차(bias)를 가졌으며, 이 편차는 SZA과 Cross track position, TCO 그리고 계절 변화에 대한 의존성을 갖지 않음을 보였다. 또한 Pandora TCO은 구름 필터링이 제대로 수행되어 있지 않기 때문에, Pandora 자료를 위성자료 검증에 활용하기 위해서는 각 위성 센서의 관측 공간 해상도에 따른 적절한 경계 조건이 사용되어야 함을 보였다.

In this paper, we present design features, implementation, and validation of a satellite simulator subsystem for the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2 (KOMPSAT-2). The satellite simulator subsystem is implemented on a personal computer to minimize costs and trouble on embedding onboard flight software into the simulator. An object-oriented design methodology is employed to maximize software reusability. Also, instead of a high-cost commercial database, XML is used for the manipulation of spacecraft characteristics data, telecommand, telemetry, and simulation data. The KOMPSAT-2 satellite simulator subsystem is validated by various simulations for autonomous onboard launch and early orbit phase operations, anomaly operation, and science fine mode operation. It is also officially verified by successfully passing various tests such as the satellite simulator subsystem test, mission control element system integration test, interface test, site installation test, and acceptance test.

This paper is introducing a radio control helicopter as a new platform of ground truth measurement. This helicopter is normally used for spraying an agricultural chemical. It can do pinpoint hovering and programing flight using DGPS etc., A spectrometer with dual port can measure ground surface and white reference plate at the same time. And it can also take digital images by digital camera. It is needed to collect ground reflectance information as satellite sensor footprint size for satellite data validation. Generally it is possible to get such ground reflectance by an airplane measurement. But it is high cost and not so easy to make a measurement by airplane. Developed validation system can provide such ground reflectance in low cost and easy.

본 논문에서는, 위성 영상자료 표준화에 대한 정의 및 표준화에 따른 일반 사용자들의 요구사항들을 설명한다. 위성을 개발하고 운영하더라도 일반 사용자가 사용하지 않는다면 그 위성은 무용지물일 수밖에 없다. 일반 사용자가 위성 영상자료를 원활하게 사용하기 위해서는 위성 영상자료에 대한 표준화가 이루어져야하고 한국항공우주연구원은 아리랑 위성의 개발 기관으로서 위성 영상자료의 표준화를 완수해야한다. 위성 영상 자료의 표준화를 위해서는 위성 개발 요구사항, 국제 영상자료 표준화, 일반 사용자 요구사항들을 반영해야 하고, 일반 사용자들에게 제공되는 영상자료도 표준 형식을 수용해야한다. 또한 위성 영상자료 품질을 확보하기 위한 검보정 작업이 필수적으로 수행되어야 한다. 한국항공우주연구원은 이미 운영 중인 아리랑 위성 2호를 포함하여 다목적 실용위성5호와 3호의 표준화를 위한 작업을 단계별로 수행 중이다.

This presentation summarizes the development of the integration information search system for a Test-bed area located in Daejeon. It will be used for the validation of software components developed for the high resolution satellite image processing. The system development utilizes the Java programming language and implements the web browse capabilities to search, manage, and augment the satellite image data, the Ground Control Point(GCP) data, the spectral information on land cover types, the atmospheric data, and the topographical map.

We present a processing system for the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) sounding suite onboard Aqua satellite. With its unprecedented 2378 channels in IR bands, AIRS aims at achieving the sounding accuracy of radiosonde (1 K in 1-km layer for temperature and $10\%$ in 2-km layer for humidity). The core of the processor is the International MODIS/AIRS Processing Package (IMAPP) that performs the geometric and radiometric correction for generation of Level 1 brightness temperature and Level 2 geophysical parameters retrieval. The processor can produce automatically from received raw data to Level 2 geophysical parameters. As we process the direct-broadcast data almost for the first time among the AIRS direct-broadcast community, a special attention is paid to understand and verify the Level 2 products. This processor includes sub-systems, that is, the near real time validation system which made the comparison results with in-situ measurement data, and standard digital information system which carry out the data format conversion into GRIdded Binary II (GRIB II) standard format to promote active data communication between meteorological societies. This processing system is planned to encourage the application of geophysical parameters observed by AIRS to research the aqua cycle in the Korean peninsula.
