Abstract

This paper describes the design, analysis, and verification tests of the Dual-axis X-band antenna pointing mechanism(XAPM) that has been developed for the Earth observation mission at low Earth orbits. Based on the experience of development and operation of the similar system, we defined the main points and requirements of the system design and confirmed the characteristics of the system through the verification test of the launch and orbit environment test of the engineering qualification model. Through the characteristics and verification techniques of the system acquired during this process, improvement points of the later qualification model are derived.

본 논문에서는 저궤도 지구관측위성에 적용을 목적으로 개발된 X-band용 2축 안테나 지향 기구장치(Dual-axis X-band antenna pointing mechanism)의 설계부터 해석 및 검증시험 까지 개발 과정을 논하고 그 검증 결과를 기술하고 있다. 유사시스템의 개발 및 운용경험을 바탕으로 본 시스템 설계의 주안점과 요구사항을 정의하였고, 제작된 시험인증모델의 발사 및 궤도운용 환경에 대한 검증시험을 통해 시스템의 특성을 확인하였다. 본 과정 중 획득한 시스템의 특성 및 검증기법을 통해 이후 인증모델의 개선점을 도출하였다.
