The pitch motion of a generic gravity gradient satellite is investigated in terms of chaos. The Melnikov method is used for detecting the onset of chaotic behavior of the pitch motion of a gravity gradient satellite. The Melnikov method determines the distance between stable and unstable manifolds of a perturbed system. When stable and unstable manifolds transverse on the Poincare section, the resulting motion can be chaotic. The Melnikov analysis indicates that the pitch dynamics of a generic gravity gradient satellite can be chaotic when the orbit eccentricity is small.

This paper discusses a gravity compensation technique designed to reduce wavefront error caused by gravity during the assembly and alignment of satellite multi-band optical sensor. For this study, the wavefront error caused by gravity was analyzed for the opto-mechanical structure of multi-band optical sensor. Wavefront error, an indicator of optical performance, was computed by using the displacements of optics calculated through structural analysis and optical sensitivity calculated through optical analysis. Since the calculated wavefront error caused by gravity exceeded the allocated budget, the gravity compensation technique was required. This compensation technique reduces wavefront error effectively by applying the compensation load to the appropriate position of the housing tube. This method successfully meets the wavefront error budget for all bands. In the future, a gravity compensation equipment applying this technique will be manufactured and used for assembly and alignment of multi-band optical sensor.

Gravity characteristics and Moho undulations are investigated in the Korean peninsula by using satellite gravity data. According to the development of satellite geodesy, gravity potential models which have high accuracy and resolution were released. Using the EIGEN-CGOIC model based on low orbit satellite data such as CHAMP and GRACE, geoid and gravity anomaly were calculated by spherical harmonic analysis. The study area is located at $123^{\circ}\sim132^{\circ}E, 33^{\circ}\sim43^{\circ}$N including Korea. Free-air anomalies, which show the effect of terrain, have the values between $-37\sim724 mgal. After Bouguer correction, the range of simple Bouguer anomalies is $-221\sim246$ mgal. Complete Bouguer anomalies after terrain correction increase from continent to marine. This phenomenon is related rise of Moho discontinuity. The cut-frequency for extraction of Moho undulation was determined by power spectrum analysis, and then 3D inversion modeling was implemented. The mean, maximum, minimum, and standard deviation of Moho depth undulation are -26, -36, -8, and 4.9 krn, respectively.

정밀한 지구중력장 측정은 지구역학적인 현상을 이해하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 지구중력장 측정 목적에 관하여 간략히 언급한 뒤, 중력장 측정 전용위성을 이용한 측정 기법에 관해 고찰하였다. 최근에 발사된 NASA/DLR의 중력장 측정 전용위성인 Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)의 개요 및 주요 관측기기들을 소개하였다. 두 개의 저궤도 위성으로 구성된 이 사업의 성능분석을 위한 시뮬레이션 기법과 관측기 모델링 방법 등을 소개하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 GRACE를 이용하여 지구중력장 정확도를 상당히 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

In a satellite gravimetry mission similar to GRACE, the precision of inter-satellite ranging is one of the key factors affecting the quality of gravity field recovery. In this paper, the impact of ranging precision on the accuracy of recovered geopotential coefficients is analyzed. Simulated precise orbit determination (POD) data and inter-satellite range data of formation-flying satellites containing white noise were generated, and geopotential coefficients were recovered from these simulated data sets using the crude acceleration approach. The accuracy of the recovered coefficients was quantitatively compared between data sets encompassing different ranging precisions. From this analysis, a rough prediction of the accuracy of geopotential coefficients could be obtained from the hypothetical mission. For a given POD precision, a ranging measurement precision that matches the POD precision was determined. Since the purpose of adopting inter-satellite ranging in a gravimetry mission is to overcome the imprecision of determining orbits, ranging measurements should be more precise than POD. For that reason, it can be concluded that this critical ranging precision matching the POD precision can serve as the minimum precision requirement for an on-board ranging device. Although the result obtained herein is about a very particular case, this methodology can also be applied in cases where different parameters are used.

Ocean satellite altimetry-implied free-air gravity anomalies have had the shortest wavelengths removed during the processing to generate the optimal solution between multiple radar altimeter missions. ERS-1 168day mission altimetry was residualized to a reference geoid surface generated by integrating Anderson & Knudsen’s free-air gravity anomalies for the Barents Sea. The altimetry tracks were reduced and filtered to extract the shortest wavelengths (between 4 and 111 km) from both ascending and descending tracks, respectively. These data were recombined using existing quadrant-swapping techniques in the wavenumber domain to generate a correlated, high frequency gravity field related to the local geologic sources. This added-value surface adjusted the reference free-air gravity anomalies to better reflect features in the gravity field at a wavelength related to the distance between altimetry ground tracks.

중력구배 인공위성의 pitch 운동이 관성 모멘트 비와 편심율에 따라 혼돈계가 될 수 있다. 혼돈계의 경우 운동의 정확한 예측을 위하여 비혼돈계로 전환하는 혼돈계 제어가 필요하다. 혼돈계 제어에는 feedback control system을 사용할 수 있다. 중력구배 인공위성의 pitch 운동의 혼돈계 제어를 위하여, 비선형 pitch 운동 방정식을 선형화를 하여 linear nonautonomous system을 구하고, 이를 근거로 pitch 운동의 혼돈계 제어와 안정화(stabilization)를 위한 제어법칙을 설계하고 원래의 비선형 혼돈계 pitch 운동에 적용하였다. 설계된 pitch 운동 제어계는 두 개의 parameter를 가지는데, 혼돈계 제어와 안정화에 만족할 만한 결과를 보여주었다.

Lunar Navigation Satellite System refers to a constellation of satellite providing PNT services on the moon. LNSS consists of main satellite and navigation satellites. Navigation satellites orbiting around the moon and a main satellite moves the area between the moon and the L2 point. The navigation satellite performs the same role as the Earth's GNSS satellite, and the main satellite communicates with the Earth for time synchronization. Due to the effect of the non-uniform shape of the moon, it is necessary to focus on the influence of the lunar gravitational field when designing the orbit simulation for navigation satellite. Since the main satellite is farther away from the moon than the navigation satellite, both the earth's gravity and the moon's gravity must be considered simultaneously when designing the orbit simulation for main satellite. Therefore, the main satellite orbit simulation must be designed through the three-body problem between the Earth, the moon, and the main satellite. In this paper, the orbit simulation tool for main satellite and navigation satellite required for LNSS was designed. The orbit simulation considers the environment characteristics of the moon. As a result of comparing long-term data (180 days) with the commercial program GMAT, it was confirmed that there was an error of about 1 m.

해면고도계 인공위성에 의하여 지오이드의 형상에 직접관련된 양질의 관측자료가 대량으로 수집되고 있다는 점에 주목하여 이를 이용한 중력이상, 지오이드 기복의 변 환관계를 논하였다. 또한, 실제문제로서 해상중력장의 연구에 있어 활용이 기대되는 해면고도 관측자료를 중력이상으로 변환하고 선상측정치를 위주로 하는 기존자료와 비 교하였다. 해면고도로서는 2년간의 GEOST 관측자료를 이용하였다. 지오이드, 중력이상 의 변환은 Fast Fourier Transform을 이용하였으며 정밀성을 기하기 위하여 관측치로 부터 범지구중력모델에 의한 추정치를 remove-restore 하는 방법을 채용하였다. 해면 고도로부터 구한 계산치와 기존자료와의 차이는 10 mgal 정도로서, 선상중력 관측치의 정밀도와 비교할 만한 수준으로 나타났다.
