| Summary: | In this paper, a brief but essential development strategy for the lunar orbit determination system is discussed to prepare
for the future Korea’s lunar missions. Prior to the discussion of this preliminary development strategy, technical models
of foreign agencies for the lunar orbit determination system, tracking networks to measure the orbit, and collaborative
efforts to verify system performance are reviewed in detail with a short summary of their lunar mission history. Covered
foreign agencies are European Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Indian Space Research Organization
and China National Space Administration. Based on the lessons from their experiences, the preliminary development
strategy for Korea’s future lunar orbit determination system is discussed with regard to the core technical issues of dynamic
modeling, numerical integration, measurement modeling, estimation method, measurement system as well as appropriate
data formatting for the interoperability among foreign agencies. Although only the preliminary development strategy has
been discussed through this work, the proposed strategy will aid the Korean astronautical society while on the development
phase of the future Korea’s own lunar orbit determination system. Also, it is expected that further detailed system
requirements or technical development strategies could be designed or established based on the current discussions. |
