2010년 6월 26일에 발사된 통신해양기상위성(천리안)은 Ka-대역 위성통신, 정지궤도 해양관측, 그리고 기상관측을 위한 탑재체를 가지고 있다. 정지궤도상의 위성을 효과적으로 운용하기 위해서 위성 임무운영 개념을 정립하여 이를 위성관제시스템의 개발 초기 단계부터 적용하였다. 천리안 위성의 임무운영은 일별, 주별, 월별 그리고 계절별 운영으로 구분된다. 위성의 일별운영은 임무계획, 명령계획 및 전송, 원격측정 데이터 처리 및 분석, 위성 거리측정 및 궤도결정, 위성의 궤도 및 이벤트 예측, 그리고 휠 오프로딩 파라미터 계산으로 구분된다. 위성의 주별 운영으로는 화요일에 남북방향 위치유지조정, 목요일에 동서방향 위치유지조정으로 구분된다. 월별운영으로는 위성의 온보드 오실레이터를 갱신하기 위한 비행역학 파라미터 계산과 위성으로의 전송이 수행되며 계절별 운영으로 봄과 가을에는 지구가 태양을 가리는 식에 관련된 위성운영을 수행한다. 이 논문에서는 통신해양기상위성이 발사된 후 약 3개월에 걸친 궤도 내 시험 기간 중에 이루어진 위성관제시스템의 주요 기능들에 대한 운영검증을 기술한다. 이 기간 중에 위성관제시스템의 대부분 기능이 성공적으로 검증되었으며 천리안 위성관제시스템은 위성의 설계 수명기간인 7년 또는 위성이 수명을 다하는 그 이후까지 계속 사용될 예정이다. COMS(Chollian) satellite which was launched on June 26, 2010 has three payloads for Ka-band communications, geostationary ocean color imaging and meteorological imaging. In order to make efficient use of the geostationary satellite, a concept of mission operations has been considered from the beginning of the satellite ground control system development. COMS satellite mission operations are classified by daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal operations. Daily satellite operations include mission planning, command planning and transmission, telemetry processing and analysis, ranging and orbit determination, ephemeris and event prediction, and wheel off-loading set point parameter calculation. As a weekly operation, North-South station keeping maneuver and East-West station keeping maneuver should be performed on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. Spacecraft oscillator updating parameter should be calculated and uploaded once a month. Eclipse operations should be performed during a vernal equinox and autumnal equinox season. In this paper, operational validations of the major functions in COMS SGCS are presented for the first three month of in-orbit test operations. All of the major functions have been successfully verified and the COMS SGCS will be used for the mission operations of the COMS satellite for 7 years of mission life time and even more.

다목적 실용위성 1호는 한국전자통신연구원에서 개발한 관제시스템을 이용하여 성공적으로 운용되고 있다. 한국항공우주연구소에 설치된 관제시스템은 TTC 서브시스템, 위성운용 서브시스템, 임무분석 및 계획 서브시스템, 위성 시뮬레이터 서브시스템으로 구성되어 있다. 다목적 실용위성 관제시스템의 주요 기능들은 일년간의 성공적인 위성운용을 통해서 검증되었다. 본 논문에서는 임무분석 및 계획 서브시스템과 시뮬레이터 서브시스템에 대한 주요기능을 검증하였다. 발사초기 위성관제에 있어서 궤도결정 및 궤도조정에 대한 성능을 기술하였으며 위성의 원격측정 데이터를 이용한 지상 자세결정에 대한 결과도 기술하였다. The Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite(KOMPSAI)-l have been successfully operated by the Mission Control Element(MCE) developed by ETRI. The MCE, located in KARI, consists of four major subsystems such as the Tracking, Telemetry, and Command(TTC) subsystem, the Satellite Operations Subsystem(SOS), the Mission Analysis and Planning Subsystem(MAPS), and satellite SIMulator(SIM) subsystem. Most of all major functions in MCE have been demonstrated and verified during one year of the successful operation. The orbit and attitude related functions in MAPS and SIM were demonstrated in this paper. The orbit determinations and orbit maneuvers in Launch and Early Orbit Phase(LEOP) operations were verified. The ground based attitude determination is also performed using playback telemetry data.

이병선,엄재연,이규연,문희선,김양빈,우남칠,이종민,남경필,Lee, Byung-Sun,Um, Jae-Yeon,Lee, Kyu-Yeon,Moon, Hee-Sun,Kim, Yang-Bin,Woo, Nam-C.,Lee, Jong-Min,Nam, Kyoung-Phile 한국지하수토양환경학회 2009 지하수토양환경 Vol.14 No.3

독립영양 황탈질 미생물 Thiobacillus denitrificans를 이용한 질산염 오염지하수 정화 기술을 개발하고자, 3열의 관정형 반응벽체(길이 $\times$ 너비 $\times$ 깊이 = $3m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$)를 한국농어촌공사 수리시험장(길이 $\times$ 너비 $\times$ 깊이 = $8m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$)에 설치하고 현장적용성을 검토하였다. 전자공여체로 총 80 kg의 황입자를, 탈질미생물로 Thiobacillus denitrificans를 준비하였다. 황입자 표면에 Thiobacillus denitrificans를 부착하는 1톤 용량 물통 실험에서, Thiobacillus denitrificans는 질산염 농도 375 mg/L(6.1 mM)의 오염수를 11일 경과 후 ~12% (0.7 mM), 18일 경과 후 ~24%(1.3 mM), 32일 경과 후 ~45%(2.4 mM), 그리고 부착 종료 시(60일)까지 ~52%(2.8 mM)를 제거하며 황입자 표면에 성공적으로 부착 증식하였다. 이후, Thiobacillus denitrificans가 부착된 황입자를 3열의 관정형 반응벽체(각 열 간격 1 m)에 주입하여 황탈질 미생물 관정형 반응벽체를 설치하였다. 초기 질산염 농도 평균 181 mg/L 인 인공오염지하수에 대하여 28일 간 1차 정화실험을 실시하였고, 평균 281 mg/L 인 인공오염지하수에 대하여 14일 간 2차 정화실험을 실시하였다. 1차 실험의 인공오염지하수(2.9 mM)는 1열 반응 후 ~2%(0.06 mM), 2열 반응 후 ~9%(0.27 mM), 3열 반응 후 ~15%(0.44 mM)의 질산염이 제거되었다. 2차 실험의 인공오염지하수(4.5 mM)는 1열 반응 후 ~1%(0.02 mM), 2열 반응 후 ~6%(0.27 mM), 3열 반응 후 ~8%(0.37 mM)가 제거되었다. 실험 기간 중 인공오염지하수의 주입용량은 $1.24\;m^3/d$, 유속은 0.44 m/d를 유지하였고, pH는 6.7~8.3, DO는 0.9~2.8 mg/L 범위로 큰 변화가 없었다. 본 관정형 반응벽체 실험의 낮은 정화효율의 원인은 인공오염지하수에 대한 Thiobacillus denitrificans의 탈질 소요 시간 부족, 관정형 반응벽체의 개별 관정사이로 빠져나가는 인공오염지하수체, 그리고 질산염 환원효소의 활성 및 생성을 억제시키는 용존산소의 상대적으로 높은 농도 때문으로 추정된다. 황탈질 관정형 반응벽체의 현장적용시에는 탈질반응에 필요한 체류시간, 관정형 반응벽체의 개수 및 간격, 그리고 용존산소 농도 등 해당 오염부지의 고유 특성을 고려한 설계가 필요하다. The applicability of a well-type autotrophic sulfur-oxidizing reactive barrier (L $\times$ W $\times$ D = $3m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$) as a long-term treatment option for nitrate removal in groundwater was evaluated. Pilot-scale (L $\times$ W $\times$ D = $8m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$) flow-tank experiments were conducted to examine remedial efficacy of the well-type reactive barrier. A total of 80 kg sulfur granules as an electron donor and Thiobacillus denitrificans as an active bacterial species were prepared. Thiobacillus denitrificans was successfully colonized on the surface of the sulfur granules and the microflora transformed nitrate with removal efficiency of ~12% (0.07 mM) for 11 days, ~24% (1.3 mM) for 18 days, ~45% (2.4 mM) for 32 days, and ~52% (2.8 mM) for 60 days. Sulfur granules attached to Thiobacillus denitrificans were used to construct the well-type reactive barrier comprising three discrete barriers installed at 1-m interval downstream. Average initial nitrate concentrations were 181 mg/L for the first 28 days and 281 mg/L for the next 14 days. For the 181 mg/L (2.9 mM) plume, nitrate concentrations decreased by ~2% (0.06 mM), ~9% (0.27 mM), and ~15% (0.44 mM) after $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$, and $3^{rd}$ barriers, respectively. For the 281 mg/L (4.5 mM) plume, nitrate concentrations decreased by ~1% (0.02 mM), ~6% (0.27 mM), and ~8% (0.37 mM) after $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$, and $3^{rd}$ barriers, respectively. Nitrate plume was flowed through the flow-tank for 49 days by supplying $1.24\;m^3/d$ of nitrate solution. During nitrate treatment, flow velocity (0.44 m/d), pH (6.7 to 8.3), and DO (0.9~2.8 mg/L) showed little variations. Incomplete destruction of nitrate plume was attributed to the lack of retention time, rarely transverse dispersion, and inhibiting the activity of denitrification enzymes caused by relatively high DO concentrations. For field applications, it should be considered increments of retention time, modification of well placements, and intrinsic DO concentration.

This study was conducted to examine an artificial recharge system, which was considered to be an alternative for securing additional groundwater resources in a high-density greenhouse region. An injection well with a depth of 14.0 m was placed in an alluvial plain of the zone. Eight monitoring wells were placed in a shape of dual circles around the injection well. Aquifer tests showed that the aquifer was comprised with high-permeable layer with hydraulic conductivities of 1.5×10^-3~2.4×10^-2 cm/sec and storage coefficients of 0.07~0.10. A step injection test resulted in a specific groundwater-level rising (Sr/Q) values of 0.013~0.018 day/㎡ with 64~92% injection efficiencies. Results of the constant-rate injection test with an optimal injection rate of 100 ㎥/day demonstrated an enormous storage capacity of the alluvial aquifer during ten experimental days. To design an optimal recharge system for an artificial recharge, the high-permeable layer should be isolated by dual packers and suitable pressure should be applied to the injection well in order to store water. An anisotropy ratio of the alluvial aquifer was evaluated to be approximately 1.25 : 1 with an anisotropy angle of 71 degrees, indicating intervals among injection wells are almost the same.

This study reviewed the groundwater policies of USA as a benchmarking for the purpose of improving groundwater polices, regulations, and plans in Korea. Each state of the USA has its own unique groundwater policies. Recently, severe drought in the western parts of the USA resulted in the launch of the California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM) program. CASGEM classified a total of 515 alluvial groundwater basins of the California State to four prior groups (high, medium, low, and very low prioritization). In Texas, a total of 101 Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) over the state has controlled groundwater pumping amounts in their own management areas and 16 Groundwater Management Areas (GMAs) over the state have directly managed groundwater aquifer. Direct management for aquifers by GMAs would be the most scientific method for groundwater management, which expected to provide water consumers the more advavnced groundwater service. These groundwater management strategies of the USA can be possibly considered in groundwater plans for national and local governmental authorities, which possibly results in more optimal groundwater management in Korea.

Feasibility tests for the hydraulic fracturing were conducted in order to secure additional saline groundwater for irrigating to the land-based aquaculture farm. Two boreholes were placed to the aquaculture farm A and B, respectively. A hydraulic fracturing using single packer was applied to major fracture zones within two boreholes. To identify effects of hydraulic fracturing on securing additional saline groundwater, some selective methods including well logging methods, pumping tests, and groundwater quality analysis were commonly applied to the boreholes before and after the hydraulic fracturing. Enlarging/creating fracture zones, increasing water contents in bedrock near boreholes, and increasing transmissivity were observed after the hydraulic fracturing. Even though the hydraulic fracturing could be an alternative to secure additional saline groundwater to the land-based aquaculture farm, salinity of the groundwater did not meet optimal thresholds for each fingerling in two farms: Fresh submarine groundwater discharge flowed the more into borehole of the farm A that resulted in decreasing a salinity value. Increased saline groundwater quantity in the borehole of the farm B rarely affect to the salinity. Although salinity problem of groundwater limited its direct use for the farms, the mixing with seawater could be effectively used for the fingerlings during the early stage. A horizontal radial collector well placed in the alluvial layer could be an alternative for the farms as well.

본 연구에서는 생활폐기물 전처리 시설 및 재활용 선별시설로 반입되는 필름류를 선별하기 위한 기계식 회전레이크를 개발하였으며, 성능평가 및 환경적합성 검토를 통하여 현장 적용 가능성 평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과 처리용량은 벨트컨베이어속도 38.5 m/min, 레이크 회전속도 26.0 rpm(1,2차 레이크 개수는 각각 39개, 52개, 3차 브러쉬 48개)에서 5.3 ton/hr로 설계용량인 5.0 ton/hr를 만족하였으며, 레이크 회전속도 28.0 rpm에서 필름류 회수율은 92.60%, 순도 96.50%로 매우 높게 나타났다. 본 장치에 대한 소음, 진동 및 비산먼지 농도 등에 대한 환경성 평가 결과, 환경오염법적배출허용 기준치를 모두 만족하는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 선별된 필름류를 대상으로 고형연료(RPF; Refuse Plastic Fuel) 제조를 통한 재활용 가능성을 평가한 결과, 발열량 약 9,740.3 kg/kcal, 염소함량 약 0.18%로 고형연료 품질기준 1등급을 만족하였다. 따라서 필름류 선별장치를 재활용 선별시설에 적용할 경우 작업량 증가 및 작업환경의 개선이 가능하고, 필름류 제거를 통한 자동화선별장치의 선별효율을 개선 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한, 선별된 필름류를 고형연료로 제조하면 화석연료의 대체 에너지원으로서 사용 가능할 것으로 사료된다. In the present work, a new separation system with rotating rakes has been developed to separate the film-based plastics from the recyclable materials, and environment assessment is also carried out during operation of the device. Capacity of the device was about 5.3 ton/hr at a rakes rotation speed of 26.0 rpm (the number of rakes in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trials were 39, 52 and 48, respectively) and a belt conveyor speed of 38.5m/min, which satisfied the initial design capacity (5.0 ton/hr). Recovery ratio and purity of the plastic films were 92.6% and 96.5%, respectively at a rotation speed of 28 rpm. The levels of noise, vibration and particulate emission were below material standard regulatory limits. Plastic refused fuel (RPF) was also prepared with the recovered films. The calorific value and chlorine content of the prepared RPF were 9,740 kcal/kg and 0.18%, respectively which satisfy the first grade quality specification of the Korean RPF standard. As a result of this work, recovery of energy resources from the municipal solid waste is possible by adopting the developed separation device.

This study was conducted to identify groundwater recharge and discharge amounts of a representative urban-rural composite area located in Yongin city, Kyounggi-do, Korea. Groundwater recharge would be affected by mainly two processes in the study area: rainfall and leakage from public water pipelines including water-supply and sewage system. Groundwater recharge rate was estimated to be 13.5% by applying annual groundwater level data from two National Groundwater Monitoring Stations to the master regression curve method. Subsequently, the recharge amounts were determined to be $13,253{\times}10^3m^3/yr$. Leakage amounts from water-supply and sewage system were estimated to be $3,218{\times}10^3$ and $5,696{\times}10^3m^3/yr$, respectively. On the whole, a total of the recharge amounts was $22,167{\times}10^3m^3/yr$, of which 60% covers rainfall recharge and 40% pipeline leakage. Groundwater discharge occurred through three processes in the composite area: baseflow, well pumping, and discharge from urban infrastructure including groundwater infiltration into sewage pipeline and artificial extraction of groundwater to protect underground facilities from submergence. Discharge amounts by baseflow flowing to the Kiheung agricultural reservoir and well pumping were estimated to be $382{\times}10^3$ and $1,323{\times}10^3m^3/yr$, respectively. Occurrence of groundwater infiltration into sewage pipeline was rarely identified. Groundwater extraction amounts from the Bundang subway line as an underground facility were identified as $714{\times}10^3m^3/yr$. Overall, a total of the discharge amounts was determined to be $2,419{\times}10^3m^3/yr$, which was contributed by 29% of artificial discharge. Even though groundwater budget of the composite area was identified to be a surplus, it should be managed for a sound groundwater environment by changing deteriorated pipelines and controlling artificial discharge amounts.

재활용선별시설에서 파봉공정은 연계된 선별공정을 위한 필수 공정으로 주로 인력에 의한 작업과 일부 기계식 파봉장치가 도입되었다. 그러나, 기계식 파봉장치의 경우 재활용 대상폐기물을 파쇄하여 선별효율의 저하 및 폭발 등 작업자의 안전문제가 자주 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 파봉 방식의 문제점을 해결 할 수 있는 회전칼날팔각드럼식 파봉 정량공급 장치를 개발하여 성능평가 및 환경성 검토를 통한 현장 적용 가능성 평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 처리용량은 드럼회전수 8.2 rpm, 벨트컨베이어 속도 1.25 m/min에서 5.6 ton/hr로 설계용량인 5.0 ton/hr를 만족하였으며, 최대 처리용량은 8.8 ton/hr으로 나타났다. 봉투 속 봉투의 파봉효율은 95.6% 및 겉봉투의 경우에는 100%로 나타났으며, 특히 재활용대상폐기물 중 가장 쉽게 파손되는 유리병의 원형보존율은 약 96.5%로 정가되었다. 본 장치의 소음, 진동 및 비산먼지 농도 등에 대한 환경성 정토결과 환경오염배출허용 법적기준치를 모두 만족하는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서, 본 파봉장치를 재활용선별시설에 적용할 경우 기존의 인력파봉과 기계식파봉에서 발생되었던 문제점을 크게 개선할 수 있다. Recyclable wastes coming into material recovery facilities(MRFs) is mostly packed by plastic bag or sack bag. Bag rupturing device is essential to improve capacity and efficiency of MRFs. Bag opening works of MRFs is mostly done by numerous workers and shredder-type bag rupturing device. It often makes a problems; decreased capacity, shredded recyclables, worker safety by explosion and broken glasses, etc. In the present work, bag rupturing device with octagonal rotating blade drums has been developed to solve the existing problems and environment assessment is also performed during operation of the device. Capacity of the device was about 5.6 ton/hr at 8.2 rpm of drum revolution speed and 1.25 m/min of belt conveyor speed. It satisfied initial designed capacity(5.0 ton/hr) and max. capacity 8.8 ton/hr was achieved at 12.5 rpm of drum revolution speed and 1.50m/min of belt conveyor speed. Bag rupturing efficiencies on outer and inner bag were obtained at 100% and about 95.6% as average, respectively and original form of glass bottles in the bag was maintained without broken by about 96.5%. This result shows that the safety in hand sorting by the workers could be improved. As result of environmental assessment on the noise, vibration and particulates, the measured levels on noise, vibration and particulates show the below standard regulatory limits. It could be concluded that the problems of existing devices in MRFs could be solved by adopting the bag rupturing device with octagonal rotating blade drums in on-site operation.
