Abstract

An apparatus for automatically generating satellite operation procedure (SOP) parameters is provided. The apparatus includes a parameter extraction unit configured to extract one or more SOP parameters corresponding to an SOP; a transformation formula extraction unit configured to extract a transformation formula corresponding to the extracted SOP parameters; and a calculation unit configured to calculate values of the extracted SOP parameters based on property information for performing a satellite task and the extracted transformation formula.

Claims

1. An apparatus for automatically generating satellite operation procedure (SOP) parameters, the apparatus comprising:

a parameter extraction unit configured to extract one or more SOP parameters corresponding to an SOP;

a transformation formula extraction unit configured to extract a transformation formula corresponding to the extracted SOP parameters; and

a calculation unit configured to calculate values of the extracted SOP parameters based on property information for performing a satellite task and the extracted transformation formula.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a satellite task information extraction unit configured to extract satellite task information corresponding to a satellite task to be performed; and

a property information extraction unit configured to extract the property information from the extracted satellite task information.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a satellite task information extraction unit configured to extract satellite task information corresponding to a satellite task to be performed; and

an SOP extraction unit configured to extract an SOP corresponding to the extracted satellite task information.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a file generation unit configured to generate a parameter file including the extracted SOP parameters and the calculated values of the extracted SOP parameters.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, further comprising:

a determination unit configured to determine whether all the values of the extracted SOP parameters have been calculated,

wherein the file generation unit is further configured to generate the parameter file in response to all the values of the extracted SOP parameters having been calculated.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a task-SOP database (DB) configured to store one or more satellite tasks and one or more SOPs corresponding to the one or more satellite tasks.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

an SOP-parameter DB configured to store the one or more satellite tasks and one or more SOP parameters corresponding to the one or more satellite tasks.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:
