Reaction Control System of the third stage of the Korean Space Launch Vehicle II conducts roll control and 3 axis control throughout third stage engine start, satellite separation, and collision and contamination avoidance maneuver. Reaction control system consumes its propellant in each thruster operation. Hence, loading of proper amount of the propellant is important for mission success. It is needed to have a rough estimation method of propellant consumption during the flight. In this paper, we developed a energy equation using pressure and temperature data which are acquired in the on-board reaction control system. We constructed a test system which is similar with the on-board reaction control system to verify the energy equation. Test results using deionized water were compared with estimated propellant consumption. We also conducted an error analysis of the energy equation. We also presented the propellant consumption result of a system level operation test.

The Albedo MONitor and RAdiometer (AMON-RA) instrument system is designed to measure Earth global albedo anomaly over the wavelength range of 0.3um to 4um. The instrument consists of two interconnecting optical subsystems i.e. a visible channel and an energy channel. The energy channel instrument consists of a modified Winston cone, a couple of relay mirrors and a pyro-electric detector. First, we report the integration and alignment process, leading to the prototype bolometer instrument. We then discuss the radiometric performance characterization including laboratory measurement results and the future plan for further incorporation of the bolometer instrument into the prototype AMON-RA instrument.

The building construction sector has been blamed as the main culprit of environmental contamination worldwide. So, there shall be some constructive alternatives in architectural engineering. As one of the alternatives, the LEED ("Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design") has been introduced since 1990s and has been well recognized in saving the resources and energy. "LEED" has also been introduced in Korea since 2002 but it has not put priority on the eco-friendliness of indoor space. In this study, the international and domestic green systems were analyzed and compared in order to restructure the checklist for indoor space. Using the restructured checklists, the questionnaire were sent to 180 people using 6 office buildings which passed the domestic "LEED" certification. LEED certification system put priority on the air quality and heating/cooling environment in its evaluation section and items. However, according to the results of the study, it was found that the people using the buildings were not satisfied enough with the air environment of buildings along with their other indoor environment items. This shows that even though the office buildings are designed according to the requirements of LEED, the buildings do not meet the occupier's needs. In addition, it showed that the evaluation items should be improved so that they are useful to enhance the satisfaction of the occupiers' needs. The paper could be useful in establishing standard for eco friendliness of indoor space of office buildings which pass the LEED certification as the basic data for increasing energy efficiency and working efficiency of occupiers of the buildings.

It is often said that the supply of fossil fuels in use for energy source will last only for 40 years. Futhermore, statistics shows that most of the fuels are imported from outside and that 30-40% of total cost for housing in Korea. One of those methods for reducing the energy cost for housing is to use underground space. Being used well, it may bring a considerable saving of energy since the underground space keeps its air cool in summer and warm in winter. To use underground space, we need to analyse its temperature first. For this purpose, what is generally used is the numerical analysis with the use of nodal system. That is, we can calculate a specific underground temperature with the matrix of thermal resistance after we make a nodal system. However, the existing numerical analysis programs need usually high cost and require a computer with large capacity. So they are seldom used in practice. Considering such problems, this study seeks to find a method for making the matrix of thermal resistance operatable on PC level.

Titanium and its alloys are useful for implant materials. In this study, porous Ti-Nb-Zr biomaterials were successfully synthesized by powder metallurgy using a $NH_4HCO_3$ as space holder and $TiH_2$ as foaming agent. Consolidation of powder was accomplished by spark plasma sintering process(SPS) at $850^{\circ}C$ under 30 MPa condition. The effect of high energy milling time on pore size and distribution in Ti-Nb-Zr alloys with space holder($NH_4HCO_3$) was investigated by optical microscope(OM), scanning electron microscope(SEM) & energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). Microstructure observation revealed that, a lot of pores were uniformly distributed in the Ti-Nb-Zr alloys as size of about $30-100{\mu}m$ using mixed powder and milled powders. In addition, the pore ratio was found to be about 5-20% by image analysis, using an image analyzer(Image Pro Plus). Furthermore, the physical properties of specimens were improved with increasing milling time as results of hardness, relative density, compressive strength and Young's modulus. Particularly Young's modulus of the sintered alloy using 4h milled powder reached 52 GPa which is similar to bone elastic modulus.

Undersea bases built in the deep sea are built in more extreme environments than in space. In addition, it requires the convergence of mechanics, electronics, shipbuilding, meteorology, and diving science, marine physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. Undersea base can be constructed through the fusion of various technologies. The development of extreme technology for undersea construction will be the most advanced technology in each field, and it will be applied to space and other fields, so it will be an opportunity to preempt the latest technology.

A search coil magnetometer (SCM) is a common equipment to observe energy transmission and vibrations in space physics, enabling measurements across a wide frequency range of up to tens of kilohertz. This study proposes the designs of a magnetic core that allows a low-mass sensor and improves its performance: a rod core, sheet-stacked core, and rolling-sheet core. Subsequently, the performance of each sensor was investigated. The sheet-stacked core using the cobalt-based alloy exhibited the highest sensitivity, although it exhibited instability beyond 20 kHz. In contrast, the rod and rolling-sheet core sensors demonstrated stability in the magnetic field measurements (10 Hz-40 kHz). Moreover, the noise equivalent magnetic induction (NEMI) of the rod- and rolling-sheet core sensors were 0.014 pT Hz^-1/2 and 0.012 pT Hz^-1/2 at 1 kHz, respectively. The rolling-sheet core with high relative permeability achieved a mass reduction of over three times that of the rod core while exhibiting sufficient sensitivity.

In recently, interests in the New & Renewable Energy are increasing because of exhaustion of fossil energy and limit of greenhouse gas emission all over the world. Furthermore, improvements in living standards and high-raise Buildings due to the industrial growth require a lot of sunlight in the interior space. Sunlight system gets the natural light into the indoor dark space. There are a lot of type of systems which are reflector type, duct type, optical fibers type and so on. And these systems consist of light-collection module, light-transporting module and light-emitting module. In this research, we installed optical fiber sunlight system in our head office building and tested the system's performance and efficiency. Optical fiber sunlight system is closely connected with hour of sunlight, due to the system have to chase the sun for the solar concentrating, and the system's light-collection and light- transporting efficiency is important factors in the system's performance. As a result of the test, system can be used about 5.66 hours on average in a day, and it has a about 3.21 times collection efficiency and 5.5% transmission loss.

A photoelectric dimming control system for a small private office space with a double skin envelope system was analyzed for the purpose of examining optimum control performances under a variety of daylight conditions. Computer simulations were performed for the three different photosensor types positioned at the center of ceiling in the space. They were applied in both a south and north-facing room. Daylight conditions were a fixed horizontal venetian blind on an external envelope and a retractable shading device on an internal envelope under a clear, intermediate and overcast sky at different times of a day and year. Partially-shielded photosensors provided good control performances providing the required electric light output under clear and intermediate sky conditions. Unshielded photosensors failed to provide necessary illuminance levels producing less electric output and fully-shielded photosensors generally provided excessive light output. Reasonable electric lighting energy savings were achieved except under overcast sky conditions where the control system did not contribute to energy savings due to the less daylight through envelopes. The retractable shading device covering 50% of the internal envelope reduced energy savings up to 19.62%, but the workplane illuminance levels were maintained within recommended ranges. The coefficients of determination between workplane illuminance and photosensor illuminance due to daylight ranged from 0.74 to 0.98. Partially-shielded conditions provided best correlations and the north-facing room yielded stronger correlation than the south-facing room.
