| Summary: | Korea multi-purpose satellite-5 (KOMPSAT-5) is a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite scheduled to be launched in 2010. To
satisfy the precision orbit determination (POD) requirement for a high resolution synthetic aperture radar image of
KOMPSAT-5, KOMPSAT-5 has atmosphere occultation POD (AOPOD) system which consists of a space-borne dual frequency
global positioning system (GPS) receiver and a laser retro reflector array. A space-borne dual frequency GPS
receiver on a LEO satellite provides position data for the POD and radio occultation data for scientific applications. This
paper describes an overview of AOPOD system and operation concepts of the radio occultation mission in KOMPSAT-5.
We showed AOPOD system satisfies the requirements of KOMPSAT-5 in performance and stability. |
