1.2 GEO-KOMPSAT-2 

Overview 

 
The GEO-KOMPSAT-2 (hereafter, “GK2”) program is a national program of Korean government to 
develop and operate two geostationary satellites, GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (hereafter, “GK2A”) and GEO-
KOMPSAT-2B (hereafter, “GK2B”). GK2A will perform the meteorological and space weather monitoring 
missions, and GK2B will perform the ocean and environmental missions. The GK2A has two Payloads, 
the Advanced Meteorological Imager (AMI) and the Korean Space Environment Monitor (KSEM), and 
the GK2B also has two Payloads, the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager II (GOCI-II) and the 
Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS). The target launch date of each satellite is 
May 2018 for the GK2A and March 2019 for the GK2B. Both satellites will be collocated on a 
geostationary orbit. 
 
The satellite operation center (hereafter “SOC”) for the GK2A and the GK2B is located at Daejeon in 
Korea.  

(1)  to manage and control GK2A and GK2B mission as the primary function, 
(2)  to receive and process the payload data from the on-board payloads as the backup function, 

and 

(3)  to broadcast on-ground processed data through the spacecraft as the backup function. 

 
The GK2 SOC consists of seven ground subsystems as followings; 
 
•  Command and Data Acquisition Subsystem (CDAS) 
•  Integrated Test and Operation System (ITOS) 
•  Flight Dynamics Subsystem (FDS) 
•  Mission Planning Subsystem (MPS) 
•  Data Pre-processing Subsystem (DPS) 
•  Product Dissemination Subsystem (PDS) 
•  Management and Support Subsystem (MSS)

4.1  GK2 LEOP TT&C Service 
 
This chapter presents the technical requirements for GK2 LEOP TT&C Service  

4.1.1 Space-to-Ground 

Interface 

 
For the space-to-ground interface, both S-Band RF uplink and S-Band RF downlink between 
GK2A/GK2B and GK2 LEOP TT&C ground station are necessary.

 

4.1.1.1  S-Band Downlink Requirements 
 
[REQ-4111-1]  S-Band Downlink Parameters for TT&C Stations 
TT&C station shall be applicable for S-Band downlink parameters described in Table 1.

Note 1) GK2A and GK2B are designed to transmit downlink signal through nadir-direction antenna and 
zenith-direction antenna at the same time. The polarization of nadir-direction and zenith-direction for 
GK2A and GK2B is as followings, 
 
- GK2A: RHCP for Nadir-direction, LHCP for Zenith-direction 
- GK2B: LHCP for Nadir-direction, RHCP for Zenith-direction 
 
Depending on the orbit and attitude of GK2A and GK2B, the signal level of RHCP and LHCP channel 
can be varied. For the reason, TT&C ground station needs to have an auto-diversity function to manually 
or automatically select the dominant polarization between RHCP and LHCP according to the signal level 
of RHCP and LHCP channel for the auto-tracking at antenna. On top of that, in terms of receiving 
telemetry signal without any packet loss, TT&C ground station needs to have so-called combining mode 
which can automatically combine the two telemetry signals from RHCP and LHCP channels so that 
Eb/No of telemetry signal is continuously stable.
