Characteristics of delta-V requirements for deploying an impactor from a mother-ship at different orbital altitudes are analyzed in order to prepare for a future lunar CubeSat impactor mission. A mother-ship is assumed to be orbiting the moon with a circular orbit at a 90 deg inclination and having 50, 100, 150, 200 km altitudes. Critical design parameters that are directly related to the success of the impactor mission are also analyzed including deploy directions, CubeSat flight time, impact velocity, and associated impact angles. Based on derived delta-V requirements, required thruster burn time and fuel mass are analyzed by adapting four different miniaturized commercial onboard thrusters currently developed for CubeSat applications. As a result, CubeSat impact trajectories as well as thruster burn characteristics deployed at different orbital altitudes are found to satisfy the mission objectives. It is concluded that thrust burn time should considered as the more critical design parameter than the required fuel mass when deducing the onboard propulsion system requirements. Results provided through this work will be helpful in further detailed system definition and design activities for future lunar missions with a CubeSat-based payload.

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the training requirements of new nuclear power plant by a comprehensive literature review. Background: The design of instrumental and control systems for New NPP is applied fully digitalized systems. For example, soft-control, large display panels(LDP), and an advanced alarm system were applied to the APR-1400 or SMART. Method: The NUREG-0711 and international guideline of training program was analyzed from the following four phases of SAT(Systemic Approach to Training): Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. Results: To identify the requirement of training program, 'Feedback' phase was considered and each phase of SAT was classified. Conclusion: A more systematic requirement of training program is needed which considers the computerized system was applied to the new NPP.

㈜쎄트렉아이는 UAE의 EIAST와 함께 2008년 발사를 목표로 SI-200 표준버스시스템을 기반으로 하는 DubaiSat-1 비행모델을 개발하였다. DubaiSat-1 비행모델의 열제어계는 전력 소비의 최소화를 위해 수동 열제어를 기반으로 하되, 주요 부품에는 히터를 이용한 능동 열제어가 이뤄지도록 설계되었다. 또한 열해석 모델을 작성하여 DubaiSat-1의 임무궤도에 대해 열해석을 수행하였으며, 해석 결과를 토대로 모든 구성품이 설계 요구조건을 만족시킬 수 있도록 설계 보정 작업을 진행하였다. 또한 우주환경을 모사한 열진공시험을 수행하여 DubaiSat-1 비행모델의 열제어 성능에 대해 검토하였으며, 시험 결과와 해석 결과의 비교를 통한 열해석 모델의 보정 작업을 완료하였다.

A cause-effect graph considers only the desired external behavior of a system by identifying input-output parameter relationships in the specification. When testing a software system with cause-effect graphs, it is important to derive a moderate number of tests while avoiding loss in fault detection ability. Pairwise testing is known to be effective in determining errors while considering only a small portion of the input space. In this paper, we present a new testing technique that generates pairwise tests from a cause-effect graph. We use a Boolean Satisbiability (SAT) solver to generate pairwise tests from a cause-effect graph. The Alloy language is used for encoding the cause-effect graphs and its SAT solver is applied to generate the pairwise tests. Using a SAT solver allows us to effectively manage constraints over the input parameters and facilitates the generation of pairwise tests, even in the situations where other techniques fail to satisfy full pairwise coverage.

CubeSats classified as pico-class satellite require a ground station to track the satellite, transmit a command, and receive an on-orbit data such as SOH (State-of-Health) and mission data according to the operation plan. For this, ground station system has to be properly designed to perform a communication to with the satellite with enough up- and down-link budgets. In this study, a conceptual design of the ground station has been performed for the CubeSat named as STEP Cube Lab. (Cube Laboratory for Space Technology Experimental Project). The paper includes a ground station hardware interface design, link budget analysis and a ground station software realization. In addition, the operation plan of the ground station has been established considering the STEP Cube Lab. mission requirements.

A CubeSat platform has become a popular choice due to inexpensive commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and low launch cost. However, it requires more power-efficient and higher-data rate downlink capability for space applications related to remote sensing. In addition, the platform is limited by the size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints as well as the regulatory issue of licensing the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. The requirements and limitations have put optical communications on promising alternatives to RF communications for a CubeSat platform, owing to the power efficiency and high data rate as well as the license free spectrum. In this study, we analyzed the performance of optical downlink communications compatible with CubeSat platforms in terms of data rate, bit error rate (BER) and outage probability. Mathematical models of BER and outage probability were derived based on not only the log-normal model of atmospheric turbulence but also a transmitter with a finite extinction ratio. Given the fixed slot width, the optimal guard time and modulation orders were chosen to achieve the target data rate. And the two performance metrics, BER and outage data rate, were analyzed and discussed with respect to beam divergence angle, scintillation index and zenith angle.

큐브위성 관제를 위해 국제전기통신연합(ITU, International Telecommunication Union)에서 할당하고 있는 아마추어 주파수 가운데 3개의 주파수 대역(VHF/UHF/S-band)에 대하여, 큐브위성 지상국을 보유하고 있는 국내 10개 기관 사이트의 전파환경을 24시간 동안 각각 측정하였다. 측정된 결과를 바탕으로 큐브위성의 하향 교신주파수에서의 지상국 주변 전파잡음과 큐브위성 RF 통신링크에서 허용가능한 지상국 주변의 간섭잡음 요구조건을 비교하여 영향성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 S 대역 환경은 다양한 무선 기기의 주파수가 혼재되어 사용되므로 지상국 주변 전파환경을 고려하여 큐브위성의 하향 교신주파수를 선정하여야 하고 아울러 RF 통신링크 설계나 지상국 시스템을 구성하여야 함을 확인하였다.
