Development of the COMS Satellite Ground Control System

摘要

Communications, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is a multi-mission GEO satellite that performs communications, ocean monitoring, and meteorological monitoring missions. COMS project is being performed jointly by KARI, ETRI, KORDI, KMA, and industries from both abroad and domestic. EADS ASTRIUM is the prime contractor for manufacturing the COMS. ETRI is developing the COMS Ka-band payload and SGCS with the fund from KCC. COMS Satellite Ground Control System (SGCS) will be the only system to monitor and control the satellite in orbit. In order to fulfill the mission operations of the three payloads and spacecraft bus, COMS SGCS performs telemetry reception and processing, satellite tracking and ranging, command generation and transmission, satellite mission planning, flight dynamics operations, and satellite simulation. Development status of the COMS SGCS is described in this paper.
