Abstract

It had been almost a half century since Apollo Mission was ended. However, in these days, a lot of researches are being conducted for restoration and making improvements in technologies used in Saturn V rocket's development. This study reviews the first stage of Saturn V rocket(S-IC), from development history to technologies in various subsystems such as engine purge system, POGO suppression system, hydraulic and pneumatic control system, propellant dispersion system, telemetry system and retrorocket system. Understandings of S-IC stage's operation systems would be helpful in understanding of launch vehicle system and reduction of time and cost in future development process.

Apollo Mission이 종료된지 거의 반세기가 지났지만, 지금도 Saturn V 발사체의 기술의 복원과 개량을 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Saturn V 발사체의 1단 로켓(S-IC)의 개발 과정과 엔진 퍼지, 포고현상 억제 방법, 연료탱크 가압 방식, 유압 및 공압 시스템의 운용 방식 등에 대한 특징들에 대해 조사하였다. S-IC의 추진기관 시스템의 특징에 대한 이해는 발사체 시스템의 이해를 도울 수 있고, 향후 발사체 개발 시에 시간, 비용 등의 절감 효과를 가져다 줄 수 있는 유용한 참고 자료가 될 것이라 예상된다.
