Hui Kyung Kim

Title: Hui Kyung Kim: Satellite Control and Earth Observation

Introduction

Hui Kyung Kim is an inventor based in Daejeon, South Korea. Her patent work includes satellite control technology that connects spacecraft orientation with the resolution of images captured from orbit.

Latest Patents

Kim’s listed patent work includes “Apparatus and Method for Controlling a Satellite.” The invention describes sensing changes in a satellite’s yaw angle and using that information to calculate ground sample distance (GSD), the length on a planetary surface represented by a pixel.

The apparatus includes a sensor that detects the yaw angle associated with satellite yaw steering and a processor that calculates the corresponding GSD. This approach can help account for changes in satellite orientation when interpreting imagery of the surface below.

Kim is credited with 2 patents. The supplied information lists the same satellite-control invention twice, so it does not establish a second distinct patent title.

Career Highlights

Kim is associated with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, a research organization focused on aerospace. Her listed work reflects an intersection of satellite operations and Earth-observation imaging.

Collaborations

The supplied information names Sang Rok Lee and Seong Bin Lim as Kim’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the listed patent work.

Conclusion

Hui Kyung Kim’s documented patent work focuses on using satellite yaw measurements to calculate image ground resolution, linking spacecraft control with the interpretation of orbital imagery.
