We have been making dual dome enclosures which are useful to track artificial space objects at SSNT (Space Science and Technology Lab.) Kyung Hee University. We verified the safety of the dome enclosures using basic design and structure analyses before manufacturing them, and then performed an optimization analysis for economic and safe systems. The dome enclosure has a fully-open type structure to smoothly operate a telescope made in the style of altazimuth mount with very fast tracking. It is also designed to be safe against extreme weather conditions. The general structure of the observatory system consists of the dual dome enclosures at the top of a container. For the structural analyses, we consider the following two methods: (1) gravitational sustain analysis - how the structure supporting the dome withstand the weight of the dome, and (2) wind load analysis that considers the effect of the wind velocity at the region where the observatory is located. The result of overall deformation is found to be less than 0.551mm and the result of equivalent stress is found to be 20.293Mpa, indicating that the dual dome system is reasonably designed. This means structurally to be safe.

Even though 30inch optical telescope at Kyung Hee Astronomy Observatory has been used to produce a series of scientific achievements since its first light in 1992, numerous difficulties in operating of the telescope have hindered the precise observations needed for further researches. Since the currently used PC-TCS(Personal Computer based Telescope Control System) software based on ISA-bus type is outdated, it doesn't have a user friendly interface and make it impossible to scale. Also accumulated errors which are generated by discordance from input and output signals into a motion controller required new control system. Thus we have improved the telescope control system by updating software and modifying mechanical parts. We applied a new BLDC(brushless DC) servo motor system to the mechanical parts of the telescope and developed a control software using Visual Basic6.0. As a result, we could achieve a high accuracy in controlling of the telescope and use the user friendly GUI(Graphic User Interface).

An alt-azimuth type mount system, developed at the Space Science and Technology Laboratory, Kyung Hee University, has been found to experience some difficulties in monitoring of the artificial space objects. Since the telescope installed on the alt-azimuth mount does not rotate on the same axis as the earth does, this mount system needs an instrument rotator to correct the field rotation. Although there are some commercial instrument rotators already in the market, those are not suitable for our system due to their low interchangeability. In this study, we have designed a new high speed instrument rotator and calculated the deformation of new designed system using structural analyses.

식물 20종을 메탄올로 추출하여 양성자 빔 조사 에너지양(1, 5, 10 KGray)에 따른 항산화 활성 능을 탐색 하고자 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성과 ABTS free 라디칼 소거 활성에 대하여 조사하였다. 양성자 빔 조사 시 15종류는 활성이 증가하였으나 10 KGray에서 흑축(Pharbitis nil Choisy)은 활성이 감소하였으며, 4종류는 활성변화가 없었다. DPPH 라디칼 소거활성은 1 및 5 KGray에서 유근피(Ulmus macrocarpa) (84 %), 10 KGray (85 %)로 가장 높았으나 10 KGray에서 흑축(Pharbitis nil Choisy)은 6 % 감소하였다. IC50값을 무처리구와 빔 조사량에 대한 활성을 비교하면 1 KGray 에서 산약(Dioscorea batatas Decne.) 6.3배, 5 KGray에서 천화분(Trichosanthes kirilowii Max.) 2.1배, 산약(Dioscorea bata-tas Decne.) 2.8배 증가하였다. ABTS free 라디칼 소거활성에서 1 KGray의 양성자 빔 에너지를 조사 했을 경우, 가자(Terminalia chebula Retzius)는 60 % 증가하였다. IC50값은 1 KGray 빔 조사 시 0 KGray보다 마황근(Ephedra sinica Stapf) 2.0배, 가자(Terminalia chebula Retz.) 2.5배, 우방자(Arctium lappa Linne) 2.4배 증가하였다.

인공우주물체는 출현 시간이 비교적 짧고 운동 특성이 고정적이지 않기 때문에 한 번의 관측으로 측광 및 분광 데이터를 획득하기 어렵다. 따라서 인공우주물체의 측광 및 분광 동시 관측을 위해서 경희대학교 인공위성 추적 및 관측시스템에 다중 광학계를 탑재할 수 있는 가대를 설계하였다. 이 연구에서 구조해석을 통해 다중 광학계 탑재 시에 개조된 가대의 변형을 계산하고 인공우주물체 추적 및 관측 시 발생할 수 있는 가대의 지향오차를 추론하여 관측시야에서 인공우주물체를 안정적으로 추적할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 등가응력 해석을 수행하여 가대의 구조적 안전성을 확인하였다.
