Three typer of spin-axis attitude determination program for the geosynchronous transfer orbit spacecraft are developed. Deterministic closed-from algorithm, batch least-square algorithm and stabilized Kalman filter algorithm are used for implemetation of three programs. EUROSTAR bus model from British Aerospace is used for attitude sensor modelling. Attitude determinations using three programs are performed for the simulated sensor data according to INMARSAT 2-F1 prelaunch mission analysis.

Geosynchronous electron flux dropouts are most likely due to fast drift loss of the particles to the magnetopause (or equivalently, the "magnetopause shadowing effect"). A possible effect related to the drift loss is the radial diffusion of PSD due to gradient of PSD set by the drift loss effect at an outer L region. This possibly implies that the drift loss can affect the flux levels even inside the trapping boundary. We recently investigated the details of such diffusion process by solving the diffusion equation with a set of initial and boundary conditions set by the drift loss. Motivated by the simulation work, we have examined observationally the energy spectrum and pitch angle distribution near trapping boundary during the geosynchronous flux dropouts. For this work, we have first identified a list of geosynchronous flux dropout events for 2007-2010 from GOES satellite electron measurements and solar wind pressures observed by ACE satellite. We have then used the electron data from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) spacecraft measurements to investigate the particle fluxes. The five THEMIS spacecraft sufficiently cover the inner magnetospheric regions near the equatorial plane and thus provide us with data of much higher spatial resolution. In this paper, we report some case studies showing energy dependence during magnetopause shadowing effect.

This paper is for the investigation of the relationship between the geomagnetic disturbances and the relativistic electron events occurring at geosynchronous orbit. We have analyzed the electron fluxes of E > 2 MeV measured by GOES 10 satellite and the hourly Dst index for the period of April, 1999 to December, 2002. With the rigorous definition of the relativistic event, total 34 events were identified during the time period. Our statistical study showed that more than 50% of the total events occurred associated with weak (or sometimes virtually no) magnetic storms. And only ~ 20% of the events took place accompanied by a strong magnetic storm of $Dst_{min}$ < -100 nT. This result suggests that large geomagnetic storms may not be crucial for the occurrence of a relativistic event at geosynchronous orbit. We also found that there is no clear correlation between the maximum electron flux of an event and the associated minimum of Dst. Therefore any study on the physical mechanism (s) accounting for the relativistic events should take it into account that strong magnetic storms may not be necessarily required for the occurrence of a relativistic electron event at geosynchronous orbit.

대부분의 위성들이 휠을이용한 자세제어를 수행하면서 축적된 휠모멘텀을 안정 영역으로 변동하기 위해 덤핑모드를 고려하고 있으며, 정지궤도위성의 경우에는 궤도위치유지를 위해 주기적으로 궤도조정 추력기를 동작시키면서 발생되는 자세오차를 휠 또는 자세제어 추력기를 이용하는 위치유지모드를 고려한다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 정지궤도위성의 임무특성을 이용하여 휠모멘텀 관리 로직을 개발하고 무궁화위성 3호 자세제어계에 적용하여 그 성능을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서 VDS(동역학 시뮬레이터)와 ACS(자세제어 시뮬레이터)를 개발하고 VDS를 ACS와 연동한 PILS를 통해 검증하였다. VDS는 정지궤도위성의 자세제어계 하드웨어 특성을 고려한 모델링 및 모듈화로 구성하였다. ACS는 센서 데이터로부터 자세결정을 수행한 후 구동기에 적절한 명령을 생성하는 역할을 한다. 또한, VDS와 PCDU(전력제어분배장치) 하드웨어와의 데이터 송수신을 위해 데이터획득보드를 장착하였다. VDS와 PCDU와의 HILS 연동시험을 통해서도 VDS의 성능검증을 수행하였다.

지구의 중력장 중에서 비대칭 중력장이 정지위성의 궤도요소에 미치는 섭동을 계산하였다. 지구의 비대칭 중력장(non-zonal geopotential)에 의한 섭동이 인공위성의 궤도요소에 미츤 영향은 $J_2$항 또는 Luni-Solar섭동에 의한 영향보다는 작지만, 이 지구 비대칭 중력장 함수에는 sine값이 1이 되는 강한 공명항이 존재한다. 따라서 지구의 비대칭 중력장 중 이러한 공명항에 의한 정지위성의 궤도요소 변화를 구하였다. 지구의 비대칭 중력장에 의해서 섭동을 받는 궤도 이심률의 변화를 $e_c$ 와 $e_s$의 위상면상에서 나타냈고, 평균경도($L_c$)와 궤도 반장경(a)에 대한 변화양상도 구하였다.

In this study, we identify 307 the geosynchronous magnetopause crossing (GMC) using geosynchronous satellite observation data from 1996 to 2010 as well as make an observational test of magnetopause location models using the identified events. For this, we consider three models: Petrinec and Russell (1996), Shue et al. (1998), and Lin et al. (2010). To evaluate the models, we estimate a Probability of Detection (PoD) and a Critical Success Index (CSI) as a function of year. To examine the effect of solar cycle phase, we consider three different time periods: (1) ascending phase (1996-1999), (2) maximum phase (2000-2002), and (3) descending phase (2003-2008). Major results from this study are as follows. First, the PoD values of all models range from 0.6 to 1.0 for the most of years. Second, the PoD values of Lin et al. (2010) are noticeably higher than those of the other models. Third, the CSI values of all models range from 0.3 to 0.6 and those of Shue et al. (1998) are slightly higher than those of the other models. Fourth, the predicted magnetopause radius based on Lin et al.(2010) well match the observed one within one earth radius, while that on Shue et al. (1998) overestimate the observed one by about 2 earth radii. Fifth, the PoD and CSI values of all the models are better for the solar maximum phase than those for the other phases, implying that the models are more optimized for the phase.

This study presents signal availability of inter-operable global navigation satellite system (multi-GNSS) combined with future Korean Positioning System (KPS), specifically at geosynchronous orbit (GSO). The orbit of KPS, which is currently under conceptual feasibility study, is first introduced, and the grid points for evaluating space service volume (SSV) at GSO are generated. The signal observabilities are evaluated geometrically between those grid points and KPS/GNSS satellites. Then, analyzed are the visibility averaged over time/space and outage time to not access one or four signals. The reduction of maximum outage time induced by KPS are presented with different maximum off-boresight angles depending on L1/E1/B1 and L5/L3/E5a/B2 frequencies. Our numerical analysis shows that the SSV of multi-GNSS combined with KPS provides up to 7 additional signals and could provide continuous observation time (zero outage time) of more than four GNSS or KPS signals for 3.20-14.83% of SSV grid points at GSO. Especially at GSO above North/South America and Atlantic region, the introduction of KPS reduces the outage duration by up to 63 minutes with L1/E1/B1 frequency.
