Description
Summary:The apogee manoeuvre of is basic elliptical orbit transfer converting orbit plane. The KOREASAT-3 is planed for multi-burn manoeuvres using the liquid apogee engine while the used the apogee kick motor that executes a single burn in the apogee of transfer orbit using the solid propellant. This study analyzed the multi-burn manoeuvres using the liquid apogee engine and the propellant control method and developed the simulation tools. For the purpose of precise simulation, We designed tools in the basic of orbit propagation software, COWELL5, that was developed by members of Center for Astrodynamics in Yonsei university and the results can be displayed in 3-D graphic of .
