Design and Analysis of Korean Lunar Orbiter Mission using Direct Transfer Trajectory

The Lunar orbiter is expected to be inserted into a ~300km low Earth orbit using Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II(KSLV-II). After the states are successfully determined with obtained tracking data, the Trans Lunar Injection(TLI) burn has to be done at appropriate epoch to send the lunar orbiter to the Moon. In this study, we describe in detail the mission scenario of the Korean lunar orbiter from the launch at NARO Space Center to lunar orbit insertion(LOI) stage following direct transfer trajectory. We investigate the launch window including launch azimuth, delta-V profile according to TLI and LOI burn positions. We also depict the visibility conditions of ground stations and solar eclipse duration to understand the characteristics of the direct transfer trajectory. This paper can be also helpful not only for overall understanding of trend by changing TOF and coasting time but for selecting launch epoch and control parameters to decrease fuel consumption.

Conceptual Design of Korea Aerospace Research Institute Lunar Explorer Dynamic Simulator

In lunar explorer development program, computer simulator is necessary to provide virtual environments that vehicle confronts in lunar transfer, orbit, and landing missions, and to analyze dynamic behavior of the spacecraft under these environments. Objective of simulation differs depending on its application in spacecraft development cycle. Scope of use cases considered in this paper includes simulation of software based, processor and/or hardware in the loop, and support of ground-based flight test of developed vehicle. These use cases represent early phase in development cycle but reusability of modeling results in the next design phase is considered in defining requirements. A simulator architec - ture in which simulator platform is located in the middle and modules for modeling, analyzing, and three dimensional visualizing are connected to that platform is suggested. Baseline concepts and requirements for simulator development are described. Result of trade study for selecting simulation platform and approaches of defining other simulator com - ponents are summarized. Finally, characters of lunar elevation map data which is necessary for lunar terrain generation is described.

Design of an Image Motion Compensation (IMC) Algorithm for the Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS)

This paper presents an Image Motion Compensation (IMC) algorithm for Koreas Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS). An IMC algorithm is a priority component of the Image Navigation and Registration (INR) system to locate and register radiometric image data. To eliminate image distortions, depointing of the imager aiming direction must be adjusted. A compensation algorithm to correct depointing caused by satellite motion is designed, and the capability of the algorithm is compared with that of existing algorithm applied to the GOESs INR system. The algorithm developed in this paper improves pointing accuracy by efficiently compensating for depointing of the imager aiming direction. I. Introduction

구 소련이 달에 루나(Luna) 1호를 발사한 이래 달을 비롯한 지구 밖의 천체에 대한 우주탐사를 시작한 지 60년이 된 지금 인류는 아직 외계의 생명체는 발견하지 못하였으나 태양계의 거의 모든 행성을 근접거리에서 탐사하고 빠른 속도로 이동하는 혜성의 표면에 우주선을 착륙시키는 등 괄목할 만한 성과를 이룩하였다. ...

Analysis of Delta-V of Earth-Moon Transfer Trajectories for Minimization of Fuel Consumption

After lunar explorations were restarted in 1990s, the world space advanced countries have been competing actively to preoccupy the Moon from the 2000s. Korea has been also conducting precedent study on lunar exploration to carry out that by ourselves in 2020. This study analyzed delta-V of various Earth-Moon transfer trajectories for minimization of fuel consumption. Through the simulation, the best Earth-Moon transfer trajectory for Korean lunar mission is suggested and it will be used as useful materials of Korean lunar mission.

통신해양기상위성의 영상위치유지 성능평가 프로그램 개발 및 분석

이 연구는 통신해양기상위성의 영상위치유지 (Image Navigation and Registration, INR) 시스템의 시뮬레이션을 위한 프로그램을 개발하고, 영상오차보상(Image Motion Compensation, IMC) 알고리즘의 성능을 비교분석 하였다. 통신해양기상위성 궤도와 자세 요소를 모델링 하고 궤도오차와 자세오차를 계산하여 이러한 궤도 및 자세오차가 영상왜곡에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 영상오차보상을 하지 않았을 경우와 GOES 위성의 영상오차보상 알고리즘을 적용하였을 경우, 그리고 선행 연구를 통해 개발되었던 개량된 영상오차보상 알고리즘을 적용하였을 경우의 영상들을 비교하여 각 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하였다. 개량된 영상오차보상 알고리즘은 GOES위성의 알고리즘보다 효율적으로 영상왜곡을 보상하였다. 이러한 연구는 통신해양기상위성의 INR시스템을 효과적으로 운용하고 그 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 기술적 토대를 마련하는데 기여할 것이다. 【We developed a software for simulations and analyses of the Image Navigation and Registration (INR) system, and compares the characteristics of Image Motion Compensation (IMC) algorithms for the INR system. According to the orbit errors and attitude errors, the capabilities of the image distortions are analyzed. The distortions of images can be compensated by GOES IMC algorithm and Modified IMC (MIMC) algorithm. The capabilities of each IMC algorithm are confirmed based on compensated images. The MIMC yields better results than GOES IMC although both the algorithms well compensate distorted images. The results of this research can be used as valuable asset to design of INR system for the Communication, Ocean, Meteorological Satellite (COMS).】
