| Research Abstract |
In these ten years, the development of micro and nano satellites were activated in the world, and they are growing as practical platforms for disaster monitor or scientific observations. On the other hand, the ability of orbit determination in university ground stations is not matured. The satellite tracking for communication are not sufficiently achieved, and the improvement of operation technique are demanded. In this research, technical elements required for low-cost orbit determination were proposed, and the system was verified through the experiments of international orbit determination network system. The sequential unmanned operation experiment in more than half year was successful, and the stability and reliability of system was verified. By using the data acquisition hardware and the operation analysis software for ground stations in the world, the system of analyzing satellite orbits and sharing the information at any time will be realized.
