  • Space Elevator introduced in the science fiction titled "The Fountatins of Paradise" by Arthur C. Clarke in 1979 could be attainable for the transportation of human and distribution from earth to space. Space Elevator could reduce shipping expenses and risks of the transportation system. Developing Space Elevator has to need rail technologies for the train and the rail using Carbon nanotube cable, installation of rail appropriated for Earth-orbiting. For this reason, rail technologies for developing Space Elevator will be suggested by this study through the case study.

  • 본 논문에서는 지구-달 천이를 위한 최적 궤도 설계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 지구와 달의 인력을 동시에 고려한 평면상 제한 3체 궤도 운동 모델을 바탕으로 지구 출발시에는 순간 추력을, 지구-달 천이 과정 및 달 임무궤도 투입시에는 연속 추력을 사용하는 혼합형 궤도전이 방법을 제시하였다. 최적화 풀이 방법으로서 Direct Transcription 및 Collocation을 이용한 비선형 프로그래밍 기법을 적용하였으며, 지구 출발 및 달 임무궤도 투입 궤적의 형상은 순간 추력의 연속 추력에 대한 상대 가중치 및 비행시간에 의하여 매우 달라질 수 있음을 파악하였다.

  • Detection of spectral bio-signatures from extra terrestrial planets has received an increasing attention from the astronomy and space science communities in recent years. In an attempt to better-understand disk averaged spectra of the only know terrestrial planet i.e. Earth, we are constructing a scale-able 3D earth model with surface reflectance and scattering properties. The USGS coastal line data were used to form coastal line segments and they were then stitched to generate continuous coastal lines to represent major continents and large islands. As the first stage of model verification, wavelength dependent ocean and land reflectance data and scattering characteristics were defined over the land and sea surfaces respectively. We then performed ray tracing based imaging and radiometric transfer simulations using a hypothetical optical payload receiving the reflected and scattered sun lights from the earth. The model concept, computational details, the simulation results are discussed as well as the future development plan.

  • We have studied the central parts of M82, which is a well-known infrared luminous, starburst galaxy, by analyzing archival data from the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). M82 was observed at 11 positions covering $\pm$45" from the center along the major axis. We analyzed 4 emission lines, [ArIII] 8.99 ${\mu}m$, $H_2$ 17.034 ${\mu}m$, [FeII] 25,98 ${\mu}m$, and [SiII] 34,815 ${\mu}m$ from $SWSO_2$ data. The integrated flux distributions of these lines are quite different. The $H_2$ line shows symmetric twin peaks at $\~$18" from the center, which is a general characteristic of molecular lines in starburst or barred galaxies. This line appears to be associated with the rotating molecular ring at around $\~$200 pc just outside the inner spiral arm. The relative depletion of the $H_2$ line at the center may be due to the active star formation activity which dissociates the $H_2$ molecules. The other lines have peaks at the center and the distributions are nearly symmetric. The line profiles are deconvolved assuming that both intrinsic and instrumental profiles are Gaussian. The velocity dispersion outside the core is found to be $\~50 km s^{-1}$. The central velocity dispersion is much higher than $50 km s^{-1}$, and different lines give different values. The large central velocity dispersion ($\sigma$) is mostly due to the rotation, but there is also evidence for a high $\sigma$ for [ArIII] line. We also generated position-velocity maps for these four lines. We found very diverse features from these maps.

  • 별센서는 우주 공간상의 별 이미지를 사용하여 초정밀 자세 정보를 제공한다. 그러나 센서가 태양광이나 지구 반사광(Albedo)으로부터의 회피각이 보장되지 않는 경우 센서 출력의 정밀도를 보장할 수 없거나 출력을 얻을 수 없다. 이 논문은 별센서의 탑재 방향에 따른 태양 및 지구 회피각의 특성에 대한 연구 결과를 제시하고 있다. 아울러 지구 관측 임무에 적합한 별센서의 탑재 방향 결정을 위한 체계적인 방법을 제시한다.

  • There is no doubt that science -and, therefore, science education- is central to the lives of all (NGSS, 2013). This manuscript focuses on ideas in astronomy that are at the foundation of elementary students' understanding of the discipline: the apparent motion of the sun explaining the day / night cycle on Earth. According to prior research demonstrating that neither children nor adults hold a scientific understanding of the big ideas of astronomy (NRC, 1996), understanding of concepts may base students' progress towards more advanced understanding in the domain of astronomy. We have analyzed the logic of the domain and synthesized prior research assessing children's spatial representation from an earth- and a space based perspective to develop a set of learning trajectories that describe how students' initial ideas about apparent celestial motion as they take school science can be build upon. In this study elementary students' representations were compared by their resident context including urban and rural. This study may present a first look at the use of a learning progression framework in analyzing the structure of astronomy education. We discuss how this work may eventually lead towards the development and empirical testing of how children learn to describe and explain apparent patterns of celestial motion.

  • In this research, the ground contact opportunity for the fictitious low lunar orbiter is analyzed to prepare for a future Korean lunar orbiter mission. The ground contact opportunity is basically derived from geometrical relations between the typical ground stations at the Earth, the relative positions of the Earth and Moon, and finally, the lunar orbiter itself. Both the cut-off angle and the orbiter's Line of Sight (LOS) conditions (weather orbiter is located at near or far side of the Moon seen from the Earth) are considered to determine the ground contact opportunities. Four KOMPSAT Ground Stations (KGSs) are assumed to be Korea's future Near Earth Networks (NENs) to support lunar missions, and world-wide separated Deep Space Networks (DSNs) are also included during the contact availability analysis. As a result, it is concluded that about 138 times of contact will be made between the orbiter and the Daejeon station during 27.3 days of prediction time span. If these contact times are converted into contact duration, the duration is found to be about 8.55 days, about 31.31% of 27.3 days. It is discovered that selected four KGSs cannot provide continuous tracking of the lunar orbiter, meaning that international collaboration is necessary to track Korea's future lunar orbiter effectively. Possible combinations of world-wide separated DSNs are also suggested to compensate for the lack of contact availability with only four KGSs, as with primary and backup station concepts. The provided algorithm can be easily modified to support any type of orbit around the Moon, and therefore, the presented results could aid further progress in the design field of Korea's lunar orbiter missions.

  • 한기로 나누어 보면, 흑점의 관측 빈도는 두 기간에서 비슷하지만, 오로라는 냉한기에 집중적으로 관측된다. 특이하게도, 크기가 큰 흑점의 경우는 냉한기보다 온난기에서 관측 빈도가 세 배 이상 높다. 또한, 흑점과 관련된 오로라의 강도를 분석해보면 크기가 큰 흑점은 작은 흑점보다 2~3배 이상 지구영향성이 높다는 것을 알 수 있다.
