  • Apparatus and method for controlling a satellite
    Patent number: 10167093
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for controlling an orbiting satellite by sensing a change in a yaw angle of the orbiting satellite and calculating a ground sample distance (GSD) based on the yaw angle. The apparatus may include a sensor configured to sense a yaw angle corresponding to yaw steering of the orbiting satellite, and a processor configured to calculate, based on the yaw angle, a GSD corresponding to a length of a pixel projected onto a planetary surface scanned by the orbiting satellite.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 1, 2019
    Assignee: KOREA AEROSPACE RESEARCH INSTITUTE
    Inventors: Moon Jin Jeon, Sang Rok Lee, Hui Kyung Kim, Eung Hyun Kim, Seong Bin Lim, Seok Weon Choi
