  • The star tracker detects microscopic star light in space and compares it with a stored list of stars to calculate the satellite's position in the inertial coordinate system. If other light, such as the sun or the earth, enters the optical head, the star cannot be recognized and the star tracker cannot be operated. In particular, strong light such as the sun affects not only operation but also the performance of the star tracker. The sun exclusion angle of the star tracker is one of the important factors determining the performance of the star tracker. This paper performs the verification of the star tracker's sun exclusion angle. In order to verify the sun exclusion angle, we predict the sun exclusion time of the star tracker and compare it to the actual sun exclusion time of the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A star tracker. In addition, the performance of the star tracker is analyzed for normal operations against the sun exclusion in the optical head. It shows that the actual sun exclusion is maintained under the range of 26 degrees, the performance requirement of the star tracker, and the star tracker operates normally in spite of the sun exclusion.

  • Purpose : The study was designed to identify the change of body alignment according to surface during walking with backpack. Methods : Healthy twenty people(10 men & 10 women) participated in this study. The exclusion criteria were orthopedic and neurologic disease. Initial alignment measurements were performed. Results were evaluated by angle and range from earlobe to acromion, acromion to malleolus and earlobe to malleolus in the GPS system. Results : On the hard surface, the distance and angle from malleolus to earlobe increased after walking with backpack which is 20 % of weight(p<.05). In addition the distance from malleolus to acromion and the angle from earlobe to acromion increased(p<.05). On the soft surface, on the other hand, the distance and angle from malleolus to earlobe decreased after walking with backpack which is 20 % of weight(p<.05). There was no relationship between the change of the surface and the body's alignment(p>.05). Conclusion : Consequently, the body alignment was changed by backpack which is 20 % of weight, but body alignment wasn't changed by the surface. So more study need to be surveyed regard of this.
