  • Radiation-induced displacement damage which has caused the increase of the dark current in the focal plane adopted in the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) was studied in regards of the primary protons and the secondaries generated by the protons in the orbit. By using the Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code System (MCNPX) version 2.4.0 along with the Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter version 2010 (SRIM2010), effects of the primary protons as well as secondary particles including neutron, electron, and photon were investigated. After their doses and fluxes that reached onto the charge-coupled device (CCD) were examined, displacement damage induced by major sources was presented.

  • A space shuttle with a Prototype Synchrotron Radiation Detector (PSRD) was launched in 2001. PSRD was set in the Endeavour payloads and got data for 12 days. The purpose of PSRD is to measure synchrotron photons which are created by high energy charged particles near earth. Synchrotron photons are confused with background photons. We studied how to separate synchrotron photons from backgrounds.

  • We present proton-induced single event effects (SEEs) and γ-ray-induced total ionizing dose (TID) data for 1 Gbit lowpower double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (LPDDR SDRAM) fabricated on a 5 μm epitaxial layer (54 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology). We compare our radiation tolerance data for LPDDR SDRAM with those of general DDR SDRAM. The data confirms that our devices under test (DUTs) are potential candidates for space flight applications.

  • Studying the accretion phenomena provides a window into understanding most heavenly bodies, from the birth of stars to active galactic nuclei (AGN). We would adopt the effect of the radiation pressure, which reduces accretion rates (Ṁ), on the accretion phenomena. The Shakura-Sunyaev α-disk model of disk accretion is a good candidate theory of advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF). Reduction in the angular velocity leads to the suppression the disk luminosity and surface temperature, essentially indicating the transition of the standard accretion disk model from convection dominated accretion flow (CDAF) to ADAF.

  • 2006년에 발사된 다목적실용위성은 자세제어 등에 필요한 추력과 모멘트를 발생하기 위해 NASA의 1lbf급 단일추진제 표준 추력기인 MRE-1을 사용하고 있다. 단일추진제 추력기는 추진제와 촉매와의 열분해 반응에 의해 추력을 발생시키는데 이때 발생되는 분해열은 상대적으로 온도가 낮은 주변 구조물 및 전자부품으로 과도한 복사열전달을 발생시키는 열원이 된다. 따라서 추력기와 타 부품 사이에 과도한 복사 열전달을 방지하기 위해서는 복사 열차폐막이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 열차폐막의 설계/해석 및 제작 등 전반적인 개발 과정에 대해 설명하였다.

  • As applications of radiation grow wider from use in the early detection of lesions and preventive diagnosis purposes to the treatment of diseases, the possibilities for patients and working professionals to be exposed to radiation are becoming greater than ever. This can not only directly bring about an increase in patient's individual radiation exposure, but also brings about an increase in the annual radiation dose of working professionals. Therefore, research and countermeasures to reduce radiation dosage are required. In this study, space dosimetry has been divided into two separate measuments with an understanding of the increasing number of angiography procedures: front perspective and side perspective. According to the results of the isodose curve, a way to minimize radiation exposure in working professionals has been suggested. This was made possible by workers through awareness of suitable working positions.

  • In order to predict the lifetime of InP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) devices and related circuits in the space radiation environment, a novel model including gamma radiation effects is proposed in this paper. Based on the analysis of radiation-induced device degradation effects including both DC and AC characteristics, a set of empirical expressions describing the device degradation trend are presented and incorporated into the Keysight model. To validate the effective of the proposed model, a series of radiation experiments are performed. The correctness of the novel model is validated by comparing experimental and simulated results before and after radiation.

  • This paper describes an experimental approach to evaluate the effective doses of space radiations at high-altitude by combining the measured data from the Liulin-6K spectrometer loaded onto the air-borne RC-800 cockpit and the calculated data from CARI-6M code developed by FAA. In this paper, 15 exposed dose experiments for the flight missions at a high-altitude above 10 km and 3 experiments at a normal altitude below 4 km were executed over the Korean Peninsula in 2012. The results from the high-altitude flight measurements show a dramatic change in the exposed doses as the altitude increases. The effective dose levels (an average of $15.27{\mu}Sv$) of aircrew at the high-altitude are an order of magnitude larger than those (an average of $0.30{\mu}Sv$) of the normal altitude flight. The comparison was made between the measure dose levels and the calculated dose levels and those were similar each other. It indicates that the annual dose levels of the aircrew boarding RC-800 could be above 1 mSv. These results suggest that a proper procedure to manage the exposed dose of aircrew is required for ROK Air Force.

  • 이 논문에서는 먼저 정지궤도에서 관측된 세 개의 Sawtooth 진동 이벤트를 보고한다. Sawtooth 진동에서는 수십에서 수백 keV 에너지대의 자기권 대전입자 플럭스가 평균 $2{\sim}3$시간의 주기로 반복적으로(10여 차례 내외) 증감한다. 플럭스가 증가 할 때는 매우 급격히 증가하고 그 후 다음 증가 때까지 서서히 감소하는 특징을 보이는데 이러한 반복적 플럭스 증감을 시간에 대한 그래프로 나타내면 마치 톱니 모양을 갖는다. 다음으로 이러한 각 Sawtooth 진동 이벤트 기간에 대해 바깥 방사선 벨트 외경계면의 변화를 연구하였다. 이를 위해 SAMPEX 저궤도 위성이 관측한 상대론적 전자 플럭스 자료를 이용하였다. 이 관측 자료를 이용하여 바깥 방사선 벨트 외경계면 위치의 L값을 결정하고 각 Sawtooth 진동 이벤트 기간 동안의 경계면 L값의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과로서 바깥 방사선 벨트 외경계면이 Sawtooth 진동 각 톱니 주기에 맞추어 팽창과 수축을 반복하는 진동을 발견하였다. 구체적으로, Sawtooth 입자 플럭스가 증가 한 직후에는 바깥 방사선 벨트 외경계면이 더 밖으로 팽창하고, 그 후 Sawtooth 입자 플럭스가 다음 주기 전까지 서서히 감소하는 동안에는 다시 방사선 벨트 외경계면이 수축하는 것을 발견하였다. 한편 Sawtooth 입자 플럭스 증가 시에는 주야간 지역간의 자기권 자기장 비대칭 정도가 감소하고, 반대로 입자 플럭스 감소 시에는 주야간 지역간의 자기권 자기장 비대칭 정도가 증가하는 특징이 반복적으로 나타났다. 이로 인해 바깥 방사선 벨트 외경계면도 주기적으로 변하는 것으로 생각된다.
